·I don’t know a whole lot about Omega but should this not have been your first question to people? Sounds like you’re makîng assumptions based on things you simply don’t know.
In the Longines brand that I follow, the manufacture usually dates the watch using the date the watch was sold to a distributor.
You have a valid point of course, it's just surprising to me it works this way. I would assume you can date a watch by the serial but apparently I'm in the wrong there.

The serial of course allows to estimate the date a watch movement was made but it doesn’t say anything as to when the full assembly of the watch took place.
For some vintage watches we’ve seen odd instances where movements stayed on the shelves for years before they became a watch and sold.
For watches which have historic value, what’s important is to know when they were put to use — as much as when the movement was made.

·I prefer to have the full set (box and papers). Most recent Speedys aren't rare so I'll wait for a full set from a trusted seller.
Vintage is a whole other story and box/papers aren't expected
