If you wish to contribute to the discussions regarding history and legitimacy, there is a thread herewhere your eagerly awaited comments will be in better context. I realise this is a hot topic, but I think this thread is best served by news and numbers of actual watches.

Thank you for ALL contributions. Especially over on the history/legitimacy thread linked above.

Guy on IG certainly has one, can't see the number I'm afraid. His website also lists various auction sales through the years.

Lucasssssss · Nov 29, 2017

I know Marco of @Mstanga.one has written quite extensively about them. Although I am unsure if the ones he has photographed are his. Either way this is of #132 https://www.instagram.com/p/BUxNsY7BJlg/?taken-by=mstanga.one. There is another photo, which I cannot quite make out the number of https://www.instagram.com/p/BWVQzFshD4b/?taken-by=mstanga.one.

Not forgetting the one that sold on OF by a fellow Singaporean.

Indeed, entitled Omega Speedmaster Apollo Soyuz "the first" a must-have book with great references & re-editions

I would kill for one of those 🥰...

I have commented on this controversy and am in agreement with the Italian collector and the offering from base1000
The rest is unsupported speculation which on close examination doesn’t provide anything other than doubt as to the veracity of the explanation

Anyone who’s had the benefit of looking at the system of manufacture in Omegas Archives Is aware that they use the LIFO SYSTEM So in carrying out an enquiry into the manufacturing sequence of the controversial involvement of the Marchi ,researchers would realise that as the Di Marchi movement numbers were earlier the Watches were made earlier as a later batch of movement numbers would follow a later batch later unless they never made any more of that movement

So the only story now convergent with the facts is that Di marchi made the first batch of 100 and because of the increase demand for the watch production reverted to Omega for the last 400 NOT the other way around

This cannot be contrverted as custom and practice in production supports this sequence

Hence the reason no subsequent records exist for the missing 100 as they were made and delivered previously

A priori must be applied in this type of hard copy vacuum

Bold above implies FIFO, not LIFO. If it were LIFO then serial numbers that are later (higher) would be used earlier in final assembly. Perhaps this is just not worded as you intended.

Gentlemen may I ask you take discussions to the two other threads, so that this one may remain a register?

is the most recent.
Thank you!
