Alternatives to the Speedy Tuesday LE

N1CK

Here's a reason - It's the first production black/white reverse panda dial speedy in Omega history.

Another is that means the watch is far more visually striking and unique than either the silver snoopy or the 60th anniversary.

Here's another - it also has a host of other features that are tailor made to drive collectors wild: appliqué logo, vintage crown, vintage script, radial subdials, brushed case, vintage buckle. The others also have nice details but none have quite so many as the ST.

Personally I couldn't care less how it performs on the market, or how the other watches do, nor do I much care to face off three nice watches against each other. But I think there are plenty of reasons, and plenty of reasons already expressed by many people on this thread and in the wider forum to justify why the ST is expected by many to be the hottest new Speedy in years, if not ever.

Hold on...slow up...I just got here. Can someone tell me what the hell happened?

OF members, I really don't see that there is anything more to discuss with @speedolex ref. the ST's future price point.

My POV: I love the photos of the ST (reserved) and my intuition, based on other LEs released in the past + enthusiasm on the OF, other internet media for this LE, indicates that it could be a desirable watch in future. I will purchase the ST not as speculation for future resale but purely because I like the watch. Living in Rio I do not have access to a reliable/secure grey or pre-owned market. Based on this restriction I have had to purchase my current watch collection all at retail price, so I could not care less if the ST is going to be cheaper in the grey market or pre-owned post release, as I do not intend to flip it and I would still have to buy retail, even if it did price-dip post release and became available at OBs, similar to the CK2998 last year.

Speedolex has stated a completely valid point (I do not agree with it): he believes that there could be an expectation bubble for the ST LE and that it might not follow the expected trajectory price valuation post release that some in the OF members have stated. He has used some arguments based on the the Snoopy edition which are questionable, but essentially he has the right to express the opinion that the ST might not be a high-value LE in the future. He stated that this argument is clearly only an opinion and not a scientific fact, although he believes his professional marketing experience does give more weight to his "hunch"...again speculation and we can choose to agree with him, reconsider our opinion or not.

So can we get back on topic and see more photos of reserve panda alternatives?
