It looks like quite a few 321’s rolled out the past 2 months.

Thanks for sharing. It is nice to know that there are watches being delivered, even if painfully slowly.

If you don't mind, could you share more details about your ordering process, particularly how long ago and where?

Congrats.

Was it ever confirmed if the micro-adjust clasp from the 60th bracelet will fit on this one?

Very nice. If the serial numbers are consecutive your's is the 365th produced, they aren't exactly flying off the assembly line.

If they have been producing one a day guess mine would just qualify for the first year of production then (even more so with it being a leap year)

Serial numbers I find an interesting topic on the 321. First of all, is it common to have 'matching numbers' in Omegas, i.e. same serial number on case and movement? Maybe the # is more driven by the movement produced, because comparing the time people receive theirs and the numbers does at least not fully 'line up'?

One Platinum 321 Prototype that I handled in mid 2019 in Biel for example had 88700092, indicating a very early #.
My watch/ movement is 887006xx. But even IF the last three digits are consecutively numbered, it does not mean that all of those movements have made it to watches I would assume.

Oh geez , yeah I don't think I'll be getting mine then anytime soon.

I've been researching a bit serial numbers for 321 calibres, and it seems indeed they are all in 887xxxxx format for both the platinum and steel (except for RJ's one which surprisingly is a 888xxxxx ...). All reviews on the platinum show very low serial numbers, in the first 100. Then all recently delivered steel versions are in the 887xx5xx and 887x6xx. I don't know how many platinum were produced but it could be that the first 500 are reserved for platinum. Clearly very low volume for the steel version anyway!

Must be a fake or, more likely, the xx8xxxxx stands for free give-away to influential people 😁 (...sorry RJB I could not resist and I know you bought it...)

Interestingly that post with Ck375's watch contradicts this theory, as his Steel 321 # is 88700365.

That the Pt versions house lower-numbered 321 movements still makes sense as the production of those must have started earlier.

My 321 steel # is 887004xx too
