Big question will be, how limited are they? 300 or 2000 peaces and in Gold? 20?50?250?
So that would be interesting for me, before I would judge on the price!

I assume the $34,000 version will be all gold with a gold bracelet since 50 years is the golden anniversary. Don't think I'll be getting that one!
For $34k it should come with a gold mine.

Yes, the JB is a two tone SM300m, and the two Speedies will come with an updated movement.

That should be an 18K full gold speedmaster with 321 mvt and a standard ss model speedmaster for the 9K same as the apollo 17cernan combo last basel world and yeah you’ll get the amazing box as usual.
it's not the 321.

$9600 will probably see them sitting on the shelves if the production numbers are as discussed on other threads.

Not if it has a simple and gorgeous blue soleil dial with MAL... 😉

Just an updated movement like engravings behind a display back or a real change in the movement.

If they make 6900 of them and its the best speedy ever i would still wait before getting on lists , deposits etc. That would be alot of watches to shift. A full gold version wouldnt interest me so no danger there. That's 34k saved this year.

The way they're going soon everyone on the planet ( and maybe all those off-planet too ) will have some kind of Omega Speedmaster LE.

There's been conflicting reports about prices and numbers - we'll just have wait and see! I agree that the prices suggested in this thread are very steep, though.

I could be wrong, but Rory McIlroy seems to be wearing a different looking Speedy during his after round press duties on Sky Sports, perhaps they have given him one ahead of the launch.

I am still wanting to see what it looks like despite all the rumors. $9600 is quite a price to ask for so I hope the watch looks good as well as a nice kit to come with it.

Golden anniversary means probably a full gold watch, like the ones which were offered to the astronauts back in the days. Still I don't like golden watches... fortunately.

I'm really looking forward for more serious informations. I'm on the calling list of my OB and I haven't heard anything so far. When I talked with the guys there they were thinking the limited SS 50th Apollo 11 would run for the same prices of former LE, between 5900 and 7500$. So 9600$ is much higher.... but we definitely need to see if the watch contains something special like flown materials from the Apollo missions, moon meteorite dust (forget about real moon dust collected up there...) and the whole package...

Seems like everyone was expecting the cheapest Speedmaster ever sold by Omega....

$34K? I guess they have to pay for the new museum somehow 😵‍💫.
Seriously though, it’s going to be interesting to see what they go with - a titanium Speedmaster? An Apollo XI themed box? An AquaTerra for Bond to wear in a casino or wherever? The gold one would have to be a copy of the BA145, surely?
They also need to leave some breathing space for an Apollo XIII 50th watch next year...

Maybe a solid gold remake of the BA145 with a red/burgundy colored ceramic bezel.
