This is by far the best size and bracelet, I’ve experienced on any Speedmaster. This reissue has stopped me from getting a Daytona. I really enjoy looking at this watch.

I agree, Ny! I have both the 60th Speedy and a black ceramic Daytona. If I could only keep one it would be the 60th Speedy.

·Decided a 60th will be my next watch, question about the 2 versions.. What what you recommend, with or without the "trilogy ###" on the dial?

·That’s a matter of personal preference! Mine goes without that trilogy being printed on the dial. It makes dial cluttered! But that’s me. You have to choose by yourself.

·i have one en route, full provenance. i paid an amount i'm comfortable with because both fortunately (and unfortunately) the value of this watch has dropped quite drastically since 2017. I wonder why that is - omega's legacy product dilution strategy aside, I would've imagine a limited run of the faithfully recreated CK2915, aka the speedmaster that started it all would've gone up in value or held its value at the very least.
i'm not thinking resale, as I intend to keep this watch in my collection for a long time, but im a little dumbfounded as to why this is the case. Is it the unpopular fake patina? The larger than life clasp?

·People probably see the Apollo 11 and Apollo 13 50th anniversary pieces as more "investable." They also have the new 3861, and Apollo program clout. The trilogy Speedmaster is a nice piece, but it will mostly appeal only to collectors interested in the story and origins of the Speedmaster.
Thankfully this means we could have such gorgeous modern straight-lug w/ hesalite at pretty reasonable price. Frankly I like the trilogy faceted case better than the non-facet 321 EW.

·i give you my 2 cents. Once presented i was in Basel and immediately called the Boutique for reservation. I was so excited about. Also they gave me the chance to pick a special number, which has been the date of born of my son.
But since then, honestly i've weared really little, despite is a perfect replica of the 2915. What are the minus for me?
1) i don't like the indexes on the dial...and the dial itself. the color is really unattractive and the lume is so fake that i've even thinked about reluming it with real tritium...
2) the bracelet is simply ugly. too chunky and the clasp simply has an horrible look. I've installed an original bracelet and that was the only option that let me wear it seldom.
the reason why i still did not get rid of it? cause of that special number...that's the only one reason...but is also like trowing away 6,6k euro out of the window...
in near future i won't see any grow on value as the hype has faded away and the little mistakes in execution will be forever there.
I'm not saying it's a total failure like the Autavia Rindt re.edition but it will not ever get back to the collectors hearts
just my 2 cents obviously...😀

·appreciate your two cents - everyone's experience of the watch and their preferences are valid.
i actually relish patina on watches but can understand when it's been overdone. I've seen countless pictures of these watch either on official press or on somebody's wrist - and have decided for myself the amount of yellow is just right. I have a 145.022 that for some reason, the tritium has remained a white-ish green, so to have yellow hands and markers that will pair the countless leather straps I'll wear this watch with is just perfect. I also like that the dial isn't exactly black, it's got a grey hue to it which sets it apart from my moonwatch. I don't think any major watchmaker is gonna use radioactive material in their manufacturing process these days, hence why tritium is out of the question for Omega. If they had just gone ahead with white superluminova, there would be no patina. period. I think Omega made the right choice placed between a rock and a hard palce.
i'm also unlikely to use the metal bracelet that came with it, and would be getting an aftermarket forstner bracelet for it should I choose to wear it on metal.
And alas, if I had the luxury of getting it directly from the AD, I would've also gone with my birthyear! I hope the love and appreciation for the watch will grow as time passes, otherwise perhaps your son will simply because it's a lovely sentiment/gift from his dad when he becomes of age!

Don't know the price you paid, but looking on well known watch selling platform, price are all above €6k vs the list price of €6.7k and also there are not too many on sale

·Btw does anyone know whether Omega makes NATO in this color worn by Bond? At first I thought it's Commander's NATO but seems different.
