While I do appreciate the human moment, I certainly would also want a proper extract. Wrote the service center and they were very apologetic and said they were expediting a reissued archive from Geneva. Will see if the terms of collecting this new extract will require me to exchange it for the one with the typo.
It is interesting though in this day and age that printing has to be done in Geneva and then posted to the country’s Service Center? Why not local printing?

I just received my Extract from the Archive and it was TOTALLY wrong. Wrong watch altogether! I called HSWA and in less than a week I had the correct Extract. If I were you I would call to have it corrected. You'll be able to keep the old "incorrect" for ...
I can keep both?!?

Thanks for that. If I can keep this extract as well as get a replacement, that would be the best of both worlds. Contacting them tomorrow.
Amazing piece.

I'd probably request an update to the extract, IF you get to also keep the fun one. Best, Brandon
Funny typo indeed
