I had a call from my AD yesterday to ask if I still wanted to be on the list for one. It could be some time until they filter through though. I obviously said yes! I’m in the U.K.

I tried my best to take a more accurate image. Just got it on Tuesday 👍

Nicely done

Do do you how much work/parts were required to change the hesilite to fit the case? Would be awesome to do this mod when the warranty runs out

Here are a few more pictures. I have had mine since mid-May. No bracelet or box, just the head.

Is this another watch assembled by Lewis Watch Co?

Omega still says July somehow. Anyone heard anything new?
I still have not heard a peep from my AD. Been searching around as well, and don't see anyone reporting delivery of the 321 speedmaster either. more delay???

Checked in with the boutique that has my deposit. They have zero visibility on delivery timing.

Even better! I just received mine today. Pictures on the @fratellowatches IG account and on my person account @rjbroer
It is late here, but will share some more proper images tomorrow.

Darn. I felt better about not being able to afford a fictitious watch. 😁

I saw a post on the Speedytuesday Instagram with the new Ed White and my first thought was it was somebody on this forum that got it.

Here is a live image (see lewiswatchco on instagram). The watchmaker ordered the dial, hands and case from Omega. It looks different than in the renders. Dial wise they got more creative on the platinum 321 watch.

I would be pretty upset if I ordered this watch and discovered you could frankenwatch it through their parts program before these even started delivering. How does that even happen?

I don't have the Apollo XI 50th in steel, but I think it is at least very similar. It is very thin though, much thinner than my Speedmaster'57 60th anniversary. It wears very comfortable, just like my original 1039 (but less flimsy).

flimsy is a positive attribute in my eyes. Cheers for the info and the watch is a beauty

@Robert-Jan Thanks for sharing the pictures, especially the clasp was never displayed on any press images.
Could you share a picture of the box as well? Or not allowed yet 😉?

Cheers,
Fabian

The watch is mine, bought it yesterday, so everything is allowed. The box is the large Moonwatch box.
