Not flat enough.
(I wonder what tipped me off this Speedmaster thread was worth clicking on.)

It's a skill I learned in Clickbait 101 😀

I was able to glean some information from the Internets regarding the design group that worked on the "GSC" [as it's already being called in the watch world].

After the Q1-Q4 sales figures were finalized for the Apollo XVII 40th Anniversary LE, the design group was quietly relocated from Bienne to Siberia to work on [what they were told would be] some "very special" projects. The group was formally named the Special Project Execution Workgroup, or S.P.E.W. for short.

Sorry but that is a cheap fake from Bucharest 👎

The actual edition is not out yet. Based on the 50th Anniversary with the applied Gold Hippocampus, the real watch will be coming soon out for the 60th Anniversary Edition. It will be numbered, but not limited. Thanks to our inside sources the moderation staff has been able to procure an early press release image (thanks Superdoc). I think we have even scooped Pursistpro on this one 😗

I will envy the lucky ones who get approved by Omega to purchase this one.... do we think it will be a good investment? will the price increase in the future? should the lucky buyer wear it or not? 😜

With a limited run of ONLY 32000 it should double to triple in value in a matter of weeks. Get 'em while you can.

but the most important question is, will it look good on a NATO strap? 😀

Don't forget PAF and FAP markings!
Caseback will be hand engraved by a Peruvian artist... 😁

If you're not a schmuck and promise not to start 5 threads about it, I'll personally sign your watchbox. Yes, you read that right - as soon as Omega releases the Golden Squirrel LE, the head squirrel of Omega Forums will autograph the watchbox of your very own GSLE.
