was this recent during a trip to japan?

 

Bought mine yesterday from Jackroad in Tokyo, NIB with a 2 year Omega warranty. 300,000 YEN. The salesfolk in Tokyo associated no extra value to this watch and I had fun showing them Tin Tin pictures from "Going to the Moon".

BTW serial is 778006** and is within the range of numbers already listed.

 

yes, about 3 weeks ago

 

Maybe that should be on a need-to-know basis.

 

I feel the need to post a picture of mine in this thread as well.

 

Can these things just become rare and hard to find already

 

Must say I felt the same at one point. But now the thought rests in the back of my mind, and I just enjoy the piece
Though it does not get much wrist time.. Maybe this will not become a sought after watch, because of the fact that people buying it want it to be so...

 

After reading the forums for a while, I decided to join with my 777782xx. One of the more photogenic Speedies IMO!

 

Here two more for ya.....@putt1333 is on the left:

777809XX
778103XX (I'll have to re-read the thread...but is that out of the range?)

 

What is the back drop of this picture? It looks an image of the TinTin that is rather large. Just curious.

 

Hey @S. JWood That is the Tintin page in the "Moonwatch Only" book.

 

Thanks! I am ashamed to admit I don't have the book. Mmm. (Searching now)

 

No problem. Amazon was recommended on the forum a while ago, that is where I bought mine about a month ago.

 

Just ordered it locally. Looking forward to it. Was on my wishlist but just never pulled the trigger. Thanks for the final push!

 

I just got mine - 777661xx - I think this is already within the range previously given.

Did anyone notice that the rings give a weird 3D stepped effect. It makes me stare at it constantly.

 

I got one coming that's even higher than this serial number so I think you are good! =]

 

So.......I'll let the smart guys do the math....how many do we think were produced?! DAMMIT!?!

 

The book was released in 1953 so maybe around that range. I say anything around the 2000-3000 would be my guess. going to be interest to see when omega release the final number of these many moons from now.

 

I didn't have the patience to check each page and add up the number sequences. Was someone keeping tally off-forum?

 

no but there is a quote from someone at Omega in this thread who mentions the production numbers (albeit with a wide berth) and was considered final say in the matter on this - using the search I found it:

"EDIT: In May 2017, In a discussion I had with Jean-Claude Monachon, VP of Omega Product Development, he suggested there were about 3000 made (he did not know the precise figure off the top of his head)..."
