I find this remark offensive to drunken sailors!
I apologize to any drunken sailors that I might have offended 馃う That was very insensitive of me.

Remember though, it is perfectly OK to offend Naval Aviators high on coffee and donuts.

Thought he got a different one, since he doesn't have the box?
Think it was just a comparison. My caseback pic to auction piece's caseback pic. I do not own the auction piece nor have any private photos of it. Cheers!

Well. The engrave is fishy or just a bad day in the life of Omega craftsman.

Interestingly though, the engraving on SgtBaron's is hardly perfect either - still quite wobbly - I wonder if these were all hand engraved?

Pretty strong result on this one, not sure if taxes were applied to the premium but either $32k or $33k usd all in

I know. I watched out of curiosity and thinking the same. Sure the box adds a lot but man...

The engraving look slike someone tried to fill in the back with the same red paint via a thin brush. Dial looks fine

You can see the letters without the fill in paint look correct where as the funky wonky print looks like someone hand painted it

Mine has the same "issues". Sloppy caseback fill in. It was my only caution before buying but the price was. So good I went ahead. Is it possible that omega could have done that via service at some point?

Isn't there 3 case backs for these?
