Hi
Your total details about 2914-5s are not correct
Because 175.27.001 upto 175.27.010 are seamaster/Rancheros this was a mix Bach of 2996 and 2914-5. The first 2914-5 serial starts from 175.27.011 upto 030 and the next 10 peices were 2996
One of 277 pieces ever made for P.A.F. in 1960/1961
Love the patina. Enjoy. Copyright 'Omega - A journey through time'...
Interesting patina indeed.
Like the close-up. Do we see some scratches on the hour hand made by the minute hand? Anyways, what a nice piece. Cheers, Kolosstt
A holy monster, indeed.
Here is mine, welcoming yours. There was also the Railmaster 2d generation, the 135 004, which was issued to the PAF. But I don't have the numbers for this last reference. Best, Nicolas ...
Thanks for your feed-backs. Cool on this one is also the presumably consistent numbering system....
..... i.e. they all seem to have (case and movement matching) serials starting with 17.527.xxx. The lowest number I have spotted so far on a 2914-5 PAF is 17.527.008, the highest number I have spotted being 17.527.267. So, given the confirmed total number...
What a gorgeous watch! Unique variation for sure!...
I had the pleasure to try on my wrist thanks to your kind invitation! Love this one my friend Nicolas! Cheers! Abel. Un abrazo mi amigo!!

Most interesting, and thanks for sharing these details. Can you confirm . . .
. . . with photos? Art
I can not recollect to have made any statement about serial numbers and .....
....as to whether they were subsequent or not. So I wonder about what details I provided that were not correct. Cheers, HSTE
What elevates PAFs in my view . . .
. . . is the dedicated movement inscription. Can't recall another Omega reference sharing that detail. There were scads of 2179s with 'US ARMY' engravings on the back, but I believe those were inscribed after delivery. Art
In a sense, they're even better . . .
. . . than having an extract. The P.A.F. engraving is a contemporary validation of originality. The ultimate obscure Speedy collection would be a brace of P.A.F. and A.C.P. examples. And I believe there's at least one guy here who can claim ownership of b...
