Nah ... I need to stay in more


I see I need to stay in more & surf your website some more. :-)

I find it very interesting that no mention is made of it being a limited edition or markings in any of the period brochures ( that I've seen ).

The last brochure that I have featuring the watch is dated 1975. So 2 years after it was released. ( So either it sold very slowly or there were more than 2000 made.... ooops did I say that ? )

Andy at Timeman.net currently has 6 on his website.

There are currently 7 in eBay ( active auctions ) & 6 finished auctions.

Chuck has one, Georges Z ( where is he ? ) has one, MarkEg has one, there at least 2 in the Omega museum in Bienne & 2 are in the Omegamania Auction

So that is 25.... 1,25 % that I can find think of/find in a few seconds.....

& funnily enough, even though almost every watch in the Omegamania Catalogue lists EXACTLY when it was sold, there are no dates for the 125's ..... I wonder why ?

Finally, look at this picture ( shamelessly lifted from Timeman.net & rehosted )

THAT letter is clearly not in the range A-E.

I've said it before & I'll say it again. I smell something fishy here.

( Many thanks to Eptaz for providing some of the info above & showing me the Timeman.net picture )
