·Hi folks,
I’ve posted a couple of times whilst debating my next watch move, and would benefit from some steer..
I’ve sold a few pieces and about to pull the trigger on a well priced 321 Ed White, and have had a few last minute niggles. This will be my daily driver for likely next year or so, and even though I get and fully appreciate the 321 and its history, the incredible movement. And I love the Speedmaster (had a few over the years), the rarity of the watch etc I’m wondering if at this juncture I should instead go for another grail piece in the sub no date.
Thinking is it’s not as delicate, can wear literally anywhere (vacations, around the dogs and kids!). However I’m torn as it’s far more common, don’t want to be lumped in the ‘that guy knows nothing about real watches and just has cash to spend’ camp yet I love the classic design language of the sub.
The 321 is a very different animal and I get that, assembled by hand, very unique.. but.. it’s a lot for an Omega and maybe isn’t quite as hardy.
Price between them is about 2k more for the Ed white... which isn’t massive given what you get but enough to be a consideration.Ed White at retail and Sub about 2k over (but getting a good part ex price from the guys sellling the Ed white which closed the price gap).
Anyway.. thanks in advance!
