Who produces the models of the lunar module and the lunar rover that are occasionally seen in Omega watch dealers displays?(I'm sorry if it's already been discussed, but I didn't find the answer looking through cS.) |

I would bet it was Pascal Hecker. I know he has done a 1/6th astronaut alongside an Omega watch that was displayed in the store window in NY. |

What scale are the ones you have seen (approximately)? |

I would say around 1/50. There's a pic here. |

Just spoke to an Omega dealer. He said official Omega dealers can buy the model from Omega as part of the dealers advertising arrangement. From what the dealer I talked to knew, Omega have the models made exclusively, but he didn't know where. |

The LM looks as the Code 3 version. I prefer more a astronaut by the watch, astronauts wear it. |

I agree with Pascal, the LM is a Code 3 model. The gold/copper colored stripes around the antenna support arms, the ascent stage coloring and the S-band and rendezvous antenna config confirm the model maker. |

The LM is a Code 3 model, or a model created from the same mold. I own this model and it looks exactly like the one in the above linked photo. |
