So diso does not like Hublot.... I'm a fan of the watches but the pricing is just

but nevertheless since I bought my first Omega, Seamaster Americas Cup Chrono I'm hooked, other watches have come and gone but Omega's have a special calling for me...

The Darkside Of The Moon is no different!

 

Probably right about a price point between stainless steel and 18k gold. This one will probably have a MSRP in the $15-20k range.

 

shame because it will price out a lot of people, I guess time will tell!

 

see what i mean... soon they will be drooping like flies!

 

I hope it will be lower and closer to the pricing for the titanium models which would make it somewhat more affordable but that's still a relative term. The other question would be availability - will this be a boutique only model or will it be available for general distribution.

 

I was just thinking the same, i think it will be a general release and i hope its priced well. Im still waiting to find out the price on the 15000 Gauss AT that i preordered, now im thinking i buy the DSOTM! i have choices to make!

10K CHF I thought it would be more works out at around £6,900 if vat is included (I get the tax back at the airport) it's on my list!

 

10K CHF is without VAT sorry =)

 

thats only 8% in CH. I claim the VAT back when i leave the UK so it makes it a better deal.

they will also quote the price with CH sales tax as they have to

 

Will this watch have the same scratch resistant properties as damasko?

 

The real problem with the YM2 is it's quite possibly the most useless ever complication, and this is coming from a former competitive sailor. If you get a high grade Citizen, TAG or Seiko to last more than 3 months on the water, you're extremely lucky...

And countdowns to race starts are typically 5 minutes rather than 10.

And the moment of the race start you don't want to be looking at your watch, you want an alarm going off so you know exactly when your bow can cross the line without incurring penalty.

 

I live and run two businesses in two countries so the Rolex GMTII was a no brainer for me, the GMT also has a third time zone using the bezel also. The YM on the other hand, I love the SS version but would never go out and buy it as I have no use!
