I can’t imagine this is a cheap endeavor. What’s your guess number for a complete and serviced movement, all parts + labor?
I got a quote- around 11k australian. Works out around half the price

they sell the reissue bracelet as well - half the price makes it quite appealing

I believe the re-issue bracelet is not yet available for the new Ed White.

do you perhaps have a snap of the case between the lugs(my actual question: is there a seating groove for the bracelet like the Apollo 11 50th?)?

I’ll take that picture. It has a bracelet on it right now and it’s after Social Hour (I.e., do not monkey with your watch after a G&T) so tomorrow.

Looks like another run on thinner spring bars for those that want to put this on a normal 19mm Speedmaster case.

Spoke to my OB a week or so ago, they have me on the list for a 321, the OB has been told by Omega that they won't receive a delivery until 2021 at the earliest and that the ongoing delivery of watches will be slow due to the small number of watches being made each year.

I have a theory

Omega has no where near the interest or deposits as they anticipated and are restricting supply

reason: i put down a deposit in june and was 3rd on the list at my local boutique. After half a year of announcement, 3 isnt a long list

I've just cancelled my order.

The good with such a long wait is that you have plenty of time to see other interesting things and change plans. That's what I just did. Realized I don't need another Ed White - moreover modern - the good old 105.003-65 will do the job...



...till I get bored even with that one. 🥱

I wouldn't dare cancel .. don't want to risk losing my standing with the OB.
