It is one made by a guy in Vietnam. Others on the forum have commented on his work before so the last time I went home I purchase about 14 from him. I can find his website and details if you want?

Omega Speedy Panda today!
Hi please could you give some tips on what I should look out for if I was to purchase one of theses fine watches.. Thanks .
Well I'm no expert but, beyond all of the other vintage watch criteria, I looked for one in very good condition with a movement picture that looked good. When looking at movement also made sure there wasn't evidence of prior battery leakage. I then asked about the date change since these plastic date wheels can be an issue. all was well so I went for it. Oh, forgot to mention the price was right too!😉
Make sure there is no corrosion around battery, or anywhere else for that matter. These aren't very expensive so waiting for a nice one is advisable...patience is your friend here.😀 I was really looking for a steel one but this one was so nice I couldn't resist.
So far, so good!😉
P.S. I'm sure the more knowledgeable on the Tuning fork movements will chime in as well.
I always like the cockpit pics. I'm interested in the differential between takeoff and landing weights. Is that all meant to be fuel? Does that mean you couldn't land with a full load? Teach me...
this today.
