·Just an 20mm/16mm Omega Leather Strap. You can order it at your AD. Around 100€/$. Looks a bit lighter in the beginning.

·I’ve also been watching the sales section here and on TRF and it seems like prices are starting to come down for them from grey dealers.

·Hi everyone,my first post, I've been a long term Omega admirer and picked up my first Omega a few years ago,a 2008 Railmaster 39 mm and love it,it's not mint now as I wear it everyday,anyway I have been looking at a speedy for years ,nearly bought new a couple of times and chased a few used but I like broad arrow hands so when I heard the 60th had then I was hooked, I went to the OB in bluewater on their invitation night and registered my interest, I found myself obsessing over having one. Out of the blue I get a call from OB Bluewater yesterday saying they had one,in fact they had 5?? I drove up there yesterday to buy it. But on the way I started to think why has one of the most awaited pieces and sold out now readily available?
I went in a walked around the whole shop several times before going to the central display where all 3 variants are and saw the faux patina and didn't like it. I introduced myself and the saleswoman went and got the watch,maybe she should have brought the entire box out and did a slow reveal? I don't know but it was all pretty underwhelming, just the watch and she said there's other straps,but I couldn't get past the faux patina, I also think they should have put the original movement in to really separate it from standard speedmasters. Disappointed I walked away.

·Maybe disappointed is a bit harsh, it was beautiful, I took some pictures next to my Railmaster and went and had a coffee. I just don't like the faux patina, i went look at the 1957 reissue last year and it has the same finish. Personally I think they shouldn't pre age it

·It’s a brand new modern watch at the end of the day, with a nod to the pat. But I understand your view

because to me that patina in the needles is very well achieved, it is one of the things that I like most about the watch. It is a very well done edition.

·in some countries, the delivery quota is already done, and that means that according to which areas of the planet no longer serve clocks. in my Distributor of Barcelona they had 3 Speedmaster 60th and they have sold them all in one day. instead, the Railmaster and Seamaster cost more to sell.

To be fair, it isn’t pre aged. SL lume will never go beige or orange like Radium or Tritium lume it will stay the colour it is made so it isn’t a question of accelerating aging, more replicating the look of the older materials as it looks now. I am in two minds about whether I like it or not, on balance probably not.
