I think it´s all upp to the sellers personal economy situation. I have seen a Seadweller 50:th sell for less than RRP as well although most seem to sell approximate 7-15% above. A low price = quick sell.

Prices coming down or a fluke?
UK TZUK forum member selling one for £5950 GBP.

Maybe a bit of both but TZ is notorious for giving sellers of watches over RRP a very hard time so it may just be that the seller is avoiding grief by setting a seemingly reasonable price. You should see what happened on the Speedy Tuesday sales threads. Carnage!

Not really sure how I ended up with one of these, it wasn't part of the plan, but there you go...

Well I am down for a Speedy Tuesday and have the money put by but as is a common story mine hasn't been delivered yet so I was getting itchy feet. Anyhow, one of these came up for sale brand new in stickers locally at a modest premium over RRP (the UK RRP is pretty low anyway vs the ROW) and I thought 'what the heck' and bought it. Now I have the dilemma of trying to scramble the cash together for the ST if and when the call ever comes. I will cross that bridge as and when...

Is the ST considered rarer than the LE 60th speedy or visa versa or same?

2017 ST vs 3557 for the 60th so there are about 75% more 60ths out there as STs. Neither is really truly 'limited' though when viewed objectively.

True althought I don't think the number of pieces neccessarily dictates the desirability to the collector market. The Spectre had 7007 pieces and they were gone within 6-8 weeks

I agree, rtan! I never get tired of looking at it. Well worth the wait.

Still waiting for mine. Speedy Tuesday came last month. Still have Speedy Tuesday unwrapped waiting to see which one I like better.

Last post on this thread was 26th October when I slightly sarcastically said that Omega still had five days left to deliver mine in accordance with their “guess” in the summer.
Well it’s nearly a month on and nothing. The AD has no information either. I really like this watch but I must admit some of the shine has been taken off by the eight month wait, so far, and the lack of any positive information.
I hope when it does eventually arrive I will consider the wait worthwhile. I realise there are many people still waiting, just need to let off some steam!

Does this mean you are currently planning to only keep one of them? What will happen if you like both?

Like you, I was extremely frustrated by the lack of communication. It takes away some of the excitement from the overall experience. BUT, I must admit that I have not stopped admiring this beauty:

I can't get it off my wrist. So, hopefully, the 'end' experience for you with be worthwhile despite the unpleasant 'front-end' experience. Try to hang it there, which, I know, is much easier said than done!

Boltman, if for some crazy reason you choose not to keep the ST please let me know. I’d love to purchase it from you. Thanks!

I picked up my Speedmaster 60th anniversary (0013/3557) together with my dad (he picked up his Speedy Tuesday) at Omega in Bienne and it is an amazing watch. I had one for review on Fratello Watches (here) a while ago, but I wore that one on the bracelet only (I didn't want to fiddle around with it too much, as it wasn't mine). The bracelet was my only concern about that watch, as the clasp is simply a bit too big (but otherwise fine imho). However, I changed it immediately to strap and that gives the watch an entirely different appeal (and feel). I love this piece, Omega did an excellent job. I got 4 (new) Speedmasters this year in my collection and I think this must be one of my favorites: the others being the Speedy Tuesday (of course), X-33 previously owned by an astronaut and the Speedmaster Tintin. It has been a nice year 😀

Good question. It is so much easier for me to buy rather than sell. If I can ever find a Pepsi GMT that suits me, or just pay the premium for a new stainless steel Daytona that would force me to sell one of the Speedmasters. I am still all over the place. I feel guilty not wearing it.
