Anyone looking for a 1957 trilogy set?

··This Space for RentSadly these sets never really seemed to be in demand. Selling at that price means the owner probably sold it to the vendor for the high teens. If those are photos of the actual watches they seem to have been worn very little.

·IIRC, a full set with presentation box signed by David Scott sold for $21k 4 or 5 years ago. I was interested, but couldn’t justify the price at the time and opted to “build my own set” if you will figuring it could be done for less (w/o the awesome Scott autograph albeit).

·Underrated watches these. I am glad people still mostly believe in the faux-tina myth ... it means that a lot of watches can still be had for good value imho ...

·I own the two of the three I prefer most... and while I did consider the set a couple years ago I was seriously put off by the "xxx Trilogy" on the dials.
Wishing Ω had placed that on the caseback or elsewhere.

··This Space for RentI do not find the extra text off-putting in person. Blown up on screen it is a lot more noticeable.

Agreed, in person it is more subtle -- but I still didn't care for it: seemed too novel and too obvious ~ watch nerds all know what the Trilogy is (so it's just a flex of "I had the coin for the entire set bro") while non-watch folk won't give a shit + add the LE number to it and it all struck me as very "Topps Baseball Cards".
To my mind if you're honoring an important advance in anything (watches, etc) and paying tribute to it by basically recreating that "thing" but with some modern advances (materials, movement, bracelet, etc)... the look, in this case the dial most critically, has to stay 1:1 in all ways.
Very happy Ω left the individually available dials alone.

·Curiously, the Omega image on their website and the 'teilogy' speedy I looked at in person did not have this printing on the dial. I almost bought the thing for $6,250 but I just couldn't swing it at the time.
I do still very much find myself drawn to the trilogy speedmaster. Would love to own one, but I'm not playing the inflation game to the tune of an additional $2500-3500 over its original price.

Yep, that would be because the Speedmaster you viewed wasn't part of the box set.
And double yep, paying over is total bullshit.
