Was simply thinking about that while turning the pages of MWO, in the limited series chapter. Since I've been looking over auctions, ads, forums, since 2 or 3 years approx, I never see for example: - Speedymoon with a smile... - Apollo 11 1980 white gold... (20 units) - Mir 90days (10 u.) - jubilee skeleton (50 u.) - Apollo 11 25th skeleton (50 u.) - Apollo Soyuz 20th (200 u.) - Mir 365 days (28 u. and 7.u in gold) - golden panda (40 u.) - 40th italy (500 u.) - 150th gold (150 u.) - Apollo-Soyuz 25th (50 u.) - G.Cernan Portugal (29 u.) - Apollo 11 40th platinum (69 u.) It makes finally a lot of watches... Where are they?........... Would we have a chance to see one of them in WRUW ?...
That would be definitely very cool to see those in WRUW... A wish-to-see-on-a-wrist-list so to say Encouraging that idea with pictures...
Simple: They are in collectors' hands. Not all collectors post what they have online. Some used to and don't anymore, after their home got a visit or worse...
This is one you mentioned, 150th Anniversary Broad Arrow Replica. Bought it from back street watch dealer in Soho years ago without checking it and it turned out to be Kosher! Comes out of storage at Christmas mostly, and the odd club dinner.
Wooo, what a piece of gold... Incredible... I'm sure that majority of these LE are in collector's hands, but I like the idea that some of them are in "innocent" hands... people who don't know their rarity...
Looking at the source of some that come to market, many of the Italian, German and Japan only issues are coming out of those countries still so I'm pretty sure there are lots in the hands/wrists/drawers of the generation that bought them originally.
