    While I do like the original one‘s blue styling better I dig the orange and pulsometer.
    Happy!

    Congrats! :thumbsup: My AD is expecting it to arrive in mid june. At least that's what they told me when I put the deposit down. It's good to see that they started to arrive.

    Cool. Always fun to put on a new watch, and share it with your internet friends, especially when not too many people have their hands on one yet.

    That looks great with the black strap and the red/orange (?) chrono hand.

    Just curious: according to who? I have a hard time believing these are all sold already. Doesn't matter to me as I'm not interested in this watch, but I'm always interested to know what supply and demand looks like.

    It's a nice color scheme! I dig it, but trying to save. One day I'll get a FOIS case Speedy, the size is perfect!

    Niiiiiiiiiiiiiice. Congrats on the acquisition!

    So is chrono seconds hand orange or red? It looks red to me in all the online pics.

    It is red. I saw it in flesh earlier this week at a boutique (it was not for sale, they were just presenting Basel novelties). It is a fine chronograph. More sporty than the other CK2998 and the FOIS, due the mix of colours (3 colours - silver, black and red) instead of 2. 3 things bother me though : (1) the strap, which is too thick imho (but that can be changed) ; (2) the pulsometer bezel ; it does not fit with the racing feature of the watch, unless you want to take the pulse of the driver! and (3) the risk to see new variations coming up next year, the year after and so on...

    Yes, was surprised as well, would have expected them around August. Seems to be the first and only one in UK.

    Went into the safe for now. I am definitely going to wear it, need the right occasion though.

    Yes, the variations are an issue - one of the reasons I bought this is that I have the CK2998 and FOIS as well (need to do a family photo, maybe tonight). If Omega does another ten variants I'll have a problem... Similar to what happened to the XSotM, while I like a lot of the variants the DSotM is the original and should have stayed on its own.

    It's a lovely thought but mine was at the boutique yesterday, but haven't had chance to collect. Pics to follow.... On the wrist! ;)

    I do like the mix of colors of this watch, however the pulsometer bezel just seems out of place to my eye
