··Ash @ ΩFApollo 11 35th and Gemini IV are the only alternatives I'd consider, both are superb.

·I know, I know, another modern Heuer. But not sure this one's been posted yet.
Seriously, though, if I were you, I'd just pick up a Speedy Tuesday second hand shortly after release!

·I am new here. This is my first 5 cents comment. First of all greetings to all my knowledge of watches is nothing compared to most of you if not all of you. In any case, IMHO Speedy is in a different league. All the alternatives presented are beautiful watches and I will be thrilled to be able to buy, but the history behind the Speedies is awesome, and that is THE difference. I think the Navi is one of the other one I lust for.

·If your budget is around 10k, I'd suggest giving someone 4k for their ST pre-order 😎

·Welcome! How about the new Heuer Autavia? Seems to check all of the boxes. Reverse Panda, well under budget, and it's damn sexy to boot...
Gotta love the way that we import our new watche$ up here. BTW am I the only one who is bothered by the sleepy 8? Even for a "prototype" they might pick the correct date wheel.

·You can try to pick up an old Speedmaster 3507.51. I did, I switched out the original hands for broad arrow hands. It's a 42mm Speedmaster, not a reduced. You can get them for around $3K - when you can find them. I am thinking about selling this one to chase after a grail - once I get the boss to sign off on it. Up close you see the red hash marks but on the wrist looking at it for the time the red hash marks are very subtle. I loved it because it is so close in design to the old Daytona.

·Being a Rolex fan, I have booked a ST. But the autavia is really hot! Both are reverse pandas which I am digging atm. I would pick the ST for it's subtle features and being LE.

Never noticed that was 42mm. To reference another thread... yeah that's influenced by the Newman Daytona. For some reason I thought it was 40mm like the other Speedy Dates.
Looks good with the Broad Arrows!

Having just checked other photos on the web, why is the actual date showing to be in a different position ?
I.e the figure "8" is lying on its side, or was this just a technical glitch!

·Title should be " Alternatives Panda dial watch " not "SpeedyTuesday Speedmaster alternatives" 😁
There's currently no alternative for the SpeedyTuesday LE and lots of aficionados are anxiously awaiting 2019, to see if Omega brings out a historically correct "50 years Apollo 11" Speedmaster with black dial and DON bezel... in other words, keep the current trend of superb new Speedy editions

This. Two reasons:
First, $10,000 CDN is roughly $1,000 more USD than the Speedy Tuesday list price, and certainly there will be plenty of profiteers moving them unworn at that premium within the first month of release.
Second, the Speedy Tuesday has all the hallmarks of a regretful purchase for many holding a reservation. This watch above all others is an internet phenomenon fueled by like-minded people on social media. What looks good in photographs and in online conversation can look insignificant once it's in someone's home and the attention has faded. If you can wait 2 to 6 months you will see these on the secondary market in slightly worn condition below MSRP.

Getting a bit tired of your opinion about the ST
We know you prefer the chocolate lume 60th and you carry on like a pork chop if anyone said what you have said about the ST above.
As several have said let it go........
