Those are usually found on the back side of one of the case lugs, adjacent to the strap attach point. From the photos it looked like there was some "crud" in these areas of McDivitt's watch, so it might take a little cleaning to see it there. |

All it says (at the 7:00 lug) is "516" |

I hear from an expert the serial # is on the inside. |

I talked to an Omega "expert" myself and he said much the same. The serial numbers on the lugs did not appear until the mid-90's. Prior to that they were placed on the movement itself, so it would require opening the caseback to see it. |

I was in Australia vacationing for my 41st birthday, and at the airport in Sydney, I saw the Apollo 11 Special Edition Omega watch at $6000. They actually had three of them, I was very surprised!I was tempted to buy it for myself for my birthday, but then my wife was with me and I decided NOT to buy it!
