Well Robert pretty much gave it away that there will be a new Fratello Speedy Tuesday LE at the end of this year (listen to the opening below)...so it might not be the Apollo 13 50th, but we would not be exactly shocked if it is, right?

Curious if this new Speedy LE will use the 3861 or the 1861.
Just listened to the hour+ long discussion between Robert-Jan and Chrono24's CEO, it's well worth a listen to learn a lot on how Chrono24 works. One interesting point, the difference in asking price vs. selling price for the dealer's on the site is only about 1% so the asking prices are not over valued.

If you want to hear about the new LE later this year start at 1:05, it's described as a 'bit daring'.

They didn't say the special edition will be a Speedmaster though. I think...

Yep. Or even that it would be an Omega collaboration. I would guess another brand for sure. Didn't RJ already say no new Speedy Tuesdays this year? I could be mistaken of course.

It looks like Omega will bring out another SNOOPY Speedmaster by early October 2020 ...
IMHO not really an Apollo 13 tribute Speedmaster as Apollo 13 had nothing to do with Snoopy, Apollo 10 was a Snoopy & Charlie Brown mission ... but then again the NASA Snoopy award will interest more end clients
