I have only the info from the forums about the way 321s are serviced. So don't know how much is fact versus conjecture, but if the dedicated team of watchmakers bit is true, then there is only one line for the 321. So going to the front of the line is the back of the 321 line...no 😗

Thank you my friend!

There is something about this watch. It’s special and I think it’s the most special watch I own. The best part of the service is that now the regulator is set dead in the middle now.

That's such a nice detail!

Got the call last week. Watch is better than expected, haven’t sized it yet but details are amazing.

Congratulations. They hit it out of the ballpark with this 321. Wear it in good health.

So I’m waiting for the watch, will likely get it on Sunday.

The watch dated 30-11-2024, serial number 88708xxx, so the 1000-2000 per year seems to end up with the high one, ~2000 per year as Omega stated.

Although Omega supposedly uses a random numbering system now the 321s seem to follow a standard increasing number regime. My 321 dated Jan 2021 has SN 88701xxx, so in the range of 2,000 units per year.

I go grey for a new/unworn one at retail price.

It's nearly impossible to get one here in Vietnam (I asked both OB and AD in Vietnam, they give me the price, but do not allow me to order or put me in a waiting list).

Here in the states too. It is nearly impossible right now.

I was offered one by my OB on NYE, but had to pass. They were not expecting to get it.

Need to give this thread a bump:


Quite a few of us, myself included, have finally succeeded in securing a Silver Snoopy from an OB:


Has anyone had any recent success in securing an Ed White from an OB?🤞

Yesterday I saw a pre-owned 321 Ed White from 2022 at an Omega dealer in Vevey, Switzerland complete with box and papers. Full current list price of CHF 14,600. So an export price of USD 16,500.

If anyone is interested a brand new Ed White is available from the OB in Bahrain.

The only difference in your two watches is the amount of friction on the cannon pinion. They can be made tight enough to make it hack easily, or can be made loose enough it won't hack at all.

Sorry for resurrecting the old thread.

But what if after making it hack, and I leave the watch in the "hack" state for a long time? That means the seconds hand wont run at all. After pushing the crown closed, the hand would run again🤔
