OMEGA 50th Anniversary 1957 SPEEDMASTER Pin Badge Set
I received this pin set several years ago when I purchased my PO from Tourneau. I have this looked up in my safe ever since.... I actually forgot I even had this set. Anyone know the value of these? Anyone collect these things?Here is a picture of one I found on eBay...

The simple fact that a 114060 is seemingly so hard to get, makes me want to get one. Then again, I have always been a sucker for ma
