This is kinda problematic as I 100% expect that the 2019 Baselworld release of the Speedmaster Apollo XI 50th Anniversary is gonna blow us away.
I fully expect that I'll be able to afford & will want to buy that watch, yet as a value-based enthusiast-collector I can't really afford to toss ~30% of the value of a brand-new, boutique-bought Omega right down the toilet. For example, I'd love a Seamaster 300 MC but buying it at a Boutique brand-new for $6600 really spikes the opportunity cost versus paying ~$4000 for one secondhand / grey, when I can spend the $2.5k+ savings on another watch!
Guess it's time to face the hard truth that I'm not rich enough for Omega to care about me.
