Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but I have it on good authority that the Platinum will be priced at $59,400.
No idea about the Steel yet.
Give or take its the same price as the existing green platinum Speedmaster, was expecting a higher price
Right. But who's buying a green platinum speedmaster?
I didn't ask for a price, but I won't be surprised if that's it. If it is, I rather just go for a Daytona in that range since I already have a Speedy...
Somewhere here are one/maybe two watches that could have made me spend a lot of money.... but I am not sure the current choice is working.
Having said that a slow burn sometimes becomes a buying fire. Either way I was not jumping until the 321 came out......
$20k for a stainless Speedmaster is truly madness from Omega; there will not be a market at that price point for reasons already pointed out in this thread (people will buy 321 vintage or alternative luxury brand, or precious metal Speedies), not to mention economies don't keep roaring on forever. Let's see what happens. I for one would not be a buyer at $20k no matter how beautiful it is, I'd opt for vintage, or a gold watch everytime.

I just spoke with my OD. They told me that the platin 321 is not limited and costs 55k EUR.
That is ridiculous for a non limited version.
I'm out.
I was never in, as soon as Platinum was mentioned it was all over, I will struggle to justify £7500 on a watch let alone anything above that.
Even in a steel case, there is no way the new 321 was/is going to be less than £10K. The amount of hype they have put into restarting production and how it is hand made by Swiss Elves implies the price will be eye watering. On another thread, we have compared the cost of making a plat case vs a gold case, it comes out about even, in fact slightly cheaper to make the Plat one, yet Omega are charging near double the price of the 3861 18K gold 50th relate fo the plat 321 model, this implies they think the movement alone adds $25K...
