Thanks. How does this compare to recent Speedy models?

This is retail price if you have one on order. Otherwise secondary market price might be higher for now. You can check omega watches .com for the price of all recent models.

The watch looks really nice. I was hoping they updated the movement to something modern like the other 2 of the Trilogy.

Yep, I have to say, that's my one and only complaint with the watch. Going to try mounting up a vintage bracelet tomorrow. Possibly with the new endlinks

I can compare with a CK2998 later. What kind of comparison are you looking for?
CK2998: lug to lug 4.75mm, height including glass 1.44mm
60th anniversary: 4.80mm, 1.40mm

The CK2998 is slightly thicker because of the three dimensional seahorse on the back.

Serious question, though. Anyone else's black leather bag smell like shitake mushrooms?
Stuff a Bounce dryer sheet in it for a couple days...unless you like that scent, of course.

What about the lug to lug height?

FOIS 47.5 mm
60th anniversary 48 mm
michel7752 did put mm instead of cm

Sorry for the mistake: should be cm, not mm!

can you still order one through your local OB?

Yes. Although I would move quick as I am told by my OB that there are less than 20 still in the U.S. allotment.

Tourneau has stock... I walked into a Tourneau in SF yesterday and tried one that had arrived for another customer. I ordered one on the spot.

They are getting it from another store and it'll arrive early next week. It's pretty amazing on the wrist.

Dudes! Finally got the call and picked up my 60th ‘57 Speedy last night from the Tyson’s Corner, VA OB. Diego, my OB representative, made it a great luxury watch buying experience. The complimentary bottle of champagne to help celebrate the occasion was icing on the cake. I’ll post more photos after my new B&S straps arrive. As to my initial impression, I love the watch and plan to keep it. Well worth the wait. Note, the original red vintage-style box is in transit. I was given the wood box as a gift.

Looks beautiful!!! I have noticed that your box is wood material but I also see some other photos show that was red color. Any explanations? Thanks!!

I ordered one a few weeks ago, so yes I think it's possible depending on where you are located.
