Spotted this over on the Omega forum and it made me chuckle. The box for the latest Omega Ltd edition, the Apollo 17 45th Speedmaster has a quote from Gene Cernan embossed inside it - the final words spoken on the moon (to date!).
The penultimate sentence should read: "And, as we come and, God willing, as we shall return, with peace and hope for all mankind."
However there's a wee typo (pic borrowed from stevec14 on OF):
:-)))

I understand they will be sending new box inserts rather than complete new boxes (which would cost a fortune). Owners are allowed to keep the misprinted inserts though!Originally Posted by Onelasttime

The original insert with the error will be worth more than the watch. A future classic, must buy 5 and keep them in the wardrobe.
"For Sale"...
That's what happens when you get stuff made in China.

misread the thread title as 'mankini' gaffe and was nurturing a bubbling WTF
I just checked the one I was looking at and that has it too lol. I have to say, it's a beautiful watch in the metal...
