It had just been introduced.  Our alphabet soup gang had scheduled a visit to the Omega boutique in Beverly Hills to see the novelties, and they had #1 to show us.  Mitch tried to buy it, but they told us it was not for sale.

In fact, if memory serves correct, the phrase 'Not For Sale' was engraved somewhere on the case, possibly on the back of one of the lugs.  But that didn't stop Mitch from trying!

You're making me miss mine! Though, to be fair, my own picture reminds me why I switched it for a Speedy Pro--the disappearing hands! ...  

Looks great on that strap 👌
