T O P I C R E V I E WRick MulheirnBBC 1 tonight (6 March 2022) on Antiques Roadshow, something in the schedule about "a commemorative" Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) Omega. Nothing to do with me! holcombeyatesI was blown away with the valuation of £80,000!Robert PearlmanHere is the segment:Larry McGlynnThat is a 1975 limited edition Omega ASTP Speedmaster made for Italian distribution. Only 400 were made for a private Italian company. The movement is the 861 calibre. A very cool watch. One sold in 2008 for $28,000 USD at auction. Given how expensive vintage limited edition watches have become in last ten years, the valuation could be in the suggested range mentioned in the show. Note: I just watched the segment and the guy nailed the description. The owner did hit the jackpot. Rick MulheirnAnother one for the collection Larry? The owner is keen to sell.Larry McGlynnRick, I already have an ASTP 35th Anniversary limited edition meteorite face Speedmaster and the box is signed by Stafford and Leonov. I don't need another, but the owner need not worry as there will be buyers lining up for that auction. spacemanNicely spotted Rick. I'm betting the guy doesn't really intend hiding the news from his two sisters, bit awkward when it made it out on to the BBC. What other collectable 'rockets' (groan) in price from £300-£80,000? 'It's out of this world' (second groan).Gordon Eliot Reade80,000 British Pounds equates to just over 100,000 US dollars. A year and a half ago Neil Armstrong's El Lago Texas house sold for $420,000. What would you rather have, four ASTP Speedmasters or the home Neil Armstrong lived in for all the years he was an astronaut? I know what I'd choose.
