@Pun Obviously there was no OF or anything similar back in the 60s, the winking eye = a tongue in cheek remark. What I was getting at was that there would probably have been no reaction to the replacing of the 321 with the 861 (done for financial reasons) whereas now there’s all kind of forums to debate the pros and cons of changing to a new movement (as you noted, a chronometer certified movement in line with Omega’s grand plan).
@Foo2rama As for the new 321 I know the basics of how it fits into Omega’s grand plan. I’m certainly not dreaming of it going into regular production; when I spoke with my local OB they described it as being more like a bespoke movement. The 3861 will replace the 1861 at some stage, I would envisage them running side by side for a while first, but I may well be wrong, we’ll see.
