But on the 'Last Man on the Moon' and on the 'Snoopy award' Speedmasters you made a mistake. The 'Last Man on the Moon' special (3000 pieces) just has an inscription in the case back, indicating it's limited number as well. The 'Snoopy award' special (5441 pieces) however has the Snoopy logo in the dial at the position of second hand register, and has a special case back indicating it's limited number. The first commorative Speedmaster Pro was the 20th moonlanding anniversary. Limited to 2000 pieces; the numbering and the text were inscripted in the side of the case. The second was the 25th anniversary special limited to 2500 pieces; inscription at the side of the case and the numbering in the case back. The third one - and the most 'worthless' in my opinion was the 30th anniversary special, which was 'limited' to 10000 pieces and had only an engraved case back (with numbering). Cheers, Gerard RJ,
