WOW !!! That is amazaing Posted By: SteveW62 Date: 3/8/06 09:05 GMT

In Response To: PICS of the Speedmaster Mark V I just received. (Kelly M. Rayburn)

Wow, Kelly that is an amazing example.

It puts mine to shame.

I'll post pics of mine, so you can all have a laugh.

And a small point but, Sorry, but I disagree on your ( & Chuck's, from his website ) MK V comment ( that there is only ONE MK V ). I will prove that Omega have used the MK V denotation for at least 2 different Speedmaster models.

I'll save you some effort Steve...
From my page on Speedmaster Instruction Manuals...

It doesn't make MUCH difference , & I totally agree that having 2 completely different watches referred to as the MK V can be VERY confusing, but I don't like to see "wrong" facts being spread around.

It is correct that Omega used the Mark V Designation on at least 2 watches in official literature. However, only one was so named on the dial, and that's the 376.0806 Speedmaster Mark V.

For what it's worth... Kelly's example puts mine to shame too!

Steve

Congratulations again Kelly, thank you Steve!
