GAH! Jaw dropping Live Auction

[Tim]

Antiquorum is running an eB*y Live Auction and they have some jaw dropping pieces in the auction. All Omega, and I think that these pieces are on consignement via Omega itself because they are all carrying an Omega warranty. Lots of Omega Speedmaster Moon watch special editions (Snoppy Award, Moon to Mars, Apollo XI, etc.). A skeleton Speedmaster Moon in Platinum! Military Omegas galore--an Aviator Omega sold in 1935 to the German Wehrmacht!?!?!?! An Omega Dinosaure which I think still has the trophy of thinnest production watch ever made. It is almost like Omega is selling off their watch museum.

I don't particularly know why this one is special. I thought that all manual wind Speedmasters with an acrylic crystal were "Moon Watches". Was this one sold to NASA or something?

...and what is a Jedi Seamaster? Was Obi Wan wearing a Seamaster or something?

Anticipated price between $80,000 and $120,000. Like I said, GAH!!!

I registered for the auction just so I can watch! I might bid on one or two, though I'd like to figure out what the models marked "So Called" are all about.
