    I realized just now , 50 year old watch , that is special, knowing you it was planned to have a Speedmasters within the period of "Man on the moon"?

    The Speedmasters at EWG is on hold ,I guess someone knows what a fine collectable one is .:(

    that’s correct, Rob. I wanted a Speedmaster from that Apollo era. Also, 1971 was the last year of the step dial. After 1971, the dials were flat. See pics attached. To me, this also makes the 1971 a bit more special than the Speedmasters that came directly after it.

    My watch’s s/n indicates it was a January 1971 production (according to the Omega archive).

    Yes, the EWG Speedy looked great, and was on the money, price-wise. I think 1861s will start to appreciate now they are obsolete. The new one isn’t flight-qualified (yet?) either.

    That certainly applied to the Rolex Daytona they valued as NOS unworn (it wasn’t).
