·I'm also starting to feel like I'll never see one from Omega. I was thinking of selling my AD acquired 126610LV or attempting a trade but it appears prices how now eclipsed the Starbucks. Getting into 114060 + DSotM territory.

·Based on a recent post by @cvalue13 , I'd like to ask the other 321 owners which SN "suffix" their watch has (887 like mine or 888 like @Robert-Jan's personal watch). I'm starting to wonder if there are any other "888" units (...maybe his is a knock-off... 😲 - J/K !!! - 😜😉)
Mine starts with 887.

·So if they are all basically 887s and in sequence (and the one in RJ’s article is 88700057) then those of us who want to share some of their SN can give an indication of the total. Mine, delivered in Oct. 2021 has a SN between 1920-1930. So maybe 1900+ have been produced?

I don’t think so, unfortunately.
RJ’s own NEW321 starts with 888X, not 887X - and elsewhere I believe others have reported 888X as well. And, RJ’s was among the very first delivered, so it’s not that the 888X followed the 887X.
Further, the NEW321 shares series with the platinum 321, which platinum began shipping a year earlier.
And finally, we have no way to know in what proportion the NEW321 and platinum are being produced.
All together, it seems hard to get a grasp even on how many 321 movements are being produced total, much less which of those are being put into NEW321.

·Don’t ask why, but I’ve just gone through this thread to count that, to date, there have been a total reported 38 NEW321s on this thread.
Make that 39, sorry!

😁40 I think…
I just picked mine up and must say it wears beautifully on my 7" wrist. Love. It. And it is part of the 887 club.

·I just checked C24, where there are currently:
-> 31 listed
-> 10 with their serials at least partial showing
-> of those 10, all were 877X
-> the lowest serial we’re (two) in low 004XX
-> the highest serial we’re (two) in low 02XXX range
It is peculiar that despite RJ’s watch, and despite vague memories of other 888X’s being reported, the 887X is the only of notes among of all the watches noted recently in this theeAd, or just now on C24

So maybe the sequence number is of 321 movements produced only…assuming that the 888 is an anomoly? So maybe a couple thousand so far?

If we assume the 887X series are all 321 movements (seems right), then the highest number I’ve seen (was on C24) is 88702125.
There’s really no way to know how many of those ~2125 movements went into a NEW321, because Omega was producing the Platinum 321 for about a year before the NEW321. And since they later started producing also the NEW321, for all we know, they’re producing 3 Platinum for every 1 NEW321, or instead 3 NEW321 for every 1 Platinum.
But it does seem correct to assume they’ve produced at least 2000-2500 of the 321 movements since beginning sale of the Platinum (original announcement RE the caliber production was July 20th, 2018, and then the Platinum itself in Jan. 2019).
2000-2500 movements nearly 3 years? plausible

·And looking at the SN from March of ~1000 and October ~2000, it’s maybe a rate of a couple thousand movements produced per year.

Yes, that makes sense and is broadly on a par with what they said.
I’m not following here, gents.
@Jakemeister1000 ’s comment is in response to me deducing that there are 2000-2500 321 movements total since January 2019 - which would rather suggest up to ~850 per year (between both platinum and NEW321)
So I do not follow the suggestion of a few thousand per year?
