I have no connection with the seller at all but this
https://www.chrono24.de/omega/omega-speemaster-145022-apollo-soyuz-vintage--id41563611.htm
makes me want to sell all I own.
Sorry if it's bad form to link to an add but the photos are gorgeous and I love this model!

The best is to post the pics, cause the links die soon.
But you're right, this reference is a true grail... With some "fake" ones in the wild... (Not real fake but re-built with omega parts. You need to search here on OF to make your own opinion)

"Price on request"

....yeah, selling your watch collection isn't going to be enough. You would need to sell your house too.

Pusher caps don't look correct. Not showing the number on the caseback is strange for this reference, as that has been a point of contention.

It's a really cool watch, but don't make the mistake of selling it all...

And on top, it’s called a complete / full set and is advertised as coming with original papers, whilst there’s no warranty papers, just an EoA. Shady dealer shenanigans, if you ask me.

And the "spacing" or line up of the nr 2 (in 200) looks really weird!

I think that's typical. Looks similar to others.
