Thanks for your feedback, I.

Speedie Tuedsay: Omega Speedmaster RAID.

Awesome edition. What year and how many produced. Nice

Two years ago, if my memory serves me well. The problem is to find one, as most of them were delivered to the RAID.

250 total, 200 for RAID, 25 within Omega & 25 public

Very cool.

That's it.

Did the caseback have special markings. Thanks

Here you are:

Very nice. Thanks

Pleasure, Bill.

This is very nice, Nico.

I don't remember how many but let's say a good hundred were issued for the Raid.

open to all in RAID but limited by number...if I recollect well the '001' was auctioned to the RAID welfare association.

So RAID personnel would have to purchase if interested.That makes sense with the numbers. Thank you.

You are correct.

stunning!

Thanks for looking, Andrea.

well captured Nico !

Pleasure, mon ami.

A fascinating, unique, and classically gorgeous watch!

250.

That is small. Many thanks!

And not easy at all to find...

the third arm is superb flag

I find it a bit too french...

😁

IMHO it is a necessary evil to harmonize the red and blue sub-arm

:)))

The addition of a little colour works very well on the dial.

Thanks for your feedback, I.

A special one in the sea of speedy universe.

Well said!

I visited Bob, my cue-maker, earlier this week . . .
