: Number 1769/1848

: bit hessitant as I would prefer to find
: something closer to mint condition and with
: a lower unit number.

Higher numbers "in general" bear the chance in mass production products that refinements found possible during production after 500 units or so were introduced, like a shift to a better supplier for certain parts, etc (you either have the number "0001" or I would simply stop the rush). Well, you see, I don't believe that Omega built all 1848 units and then laid them side by side for 100% equalness ? But maybe I'm mistaken and they did. In the end, in a few years, say 3 to 5 you will have a much harder time finding these limited watches at all, but again I could be mistaken again, since I don't consider 1848 units to be "scarce" or 2000$ watches to be in high demand right now. I'm #581.

Hi Derek,

could you please edit the name under the titanium sponge picture in the "maintanance section" to my complete name "Andreas Schildknecht". Thanks. You homepage was and is, and probably always will be "the best and essential resource" for Omega enthusiasts. Keep up the spirit.

Regards,
Andreas
