Hi Eric,
In Response To: I completely agree about Sonic, Steve ()


Hi Eric,

GREAT pics !!

Your watch looks to be in amazing condiion. Has the case been reworked or did you find it like that ?

Have you noticed, there's quite a difference betwen our watches?

My dial is "brushed" blue. The brush strokes are all in a straight line running 12:00 to 06:00. The subdials are almost black.

My hour markers are "applied" chromed blocks & the hands on mine a quite bit shorter than yours.

I believe both are 100% correct.

Les Z refers to the different variations in his excellent review

Funnily enough it is not a watch that gets featured much in the various catalogues that I have.

According to Omega SAGA 11,900 of these movements ( 1255 ) were made. _ So we have accounted for 3.... where are the other 11,897 ?

As far as I know the 1255 was only ever fitted to the speedsonic, so that means only 11,900 speedsonics were made.

All the Best

Steve
