Future of the Tokyo 2020 Limited Edition

Seems like Sky News announced it either prematurely or incorrectly - had a news flash on my phone early this morning that they had cancelled the 2021 games, but the Japanese PM is denying these stories.

If they can safely be held I am quite looking forward to them, nothing to do with the watches, but a couple of weeks of Olympics is quite enjoyable to watch, I remember watching the 2000 games at an open air beach bar on the Yucatan Peninsula in the warm evenings whilst sipping cocktails and smoking some fantastic cigars - a lovely time and great memories.

How are you liking your Olympic Speedie anyway? Did you get it in Japan, through a boutique or Chrono? I've been debating as to whether or not I should invest in one of these or wait until Omega releases something new that I like that I can jump on early enough.

David as I have said on this thread before - I love my Red Tokyo Speedie - it really is a special piece - pretty unique due to the red bezel, to my knowledge there are only 2 other speedies with a red bezel and they are both Moonphases that are almost 8 and 10 times the cost due to being platinum - i love it, it is a great watch - i bought it just before Xmas so in Dec 2020 and it arrived just before NYE from Japan shipped to the UK and bought from a dealer in Tokyo on Chrono24 - pm me if you want anymore details.

Screwbacks

a clear or see-through glass caseback may be a good option as replacement and keep the steel caseback in a safe.😁

Thanks @DNX for your feedback on Tokyo Red speedy. I got it delivered today from japan brand new. One should really see it to appreciate its classy dial combination. Its magnificent! I was planning to swap the bracelet with new 3861 before seeing the watch. Now, after seeing the watch in wrist, i dont want to change. The polished links goes well with applied indices. Very very attractive watch. !

Come on, no pictures!

Here are few. I tried to capture the dial in different lights. Tough to capture though. Only issue with the dial and hands is low light legibility not great. However it doesn’t bother me.😀

So cool, congrats! Was your watch number high or low?

Jesus i only just saw this, that’s really, really bad. I guess you could stick a display back on it but Omega really should have known better than that.
