I say we make our own LE. It will be much more interesting and valuable than any Tiffany or this Hack job.

As @nonuffinkbloke might say “Fackett”!
I would never use such profanity Nathan.😟 I prefer the more polite, gentler, rendering of "Fakk".😁

On the subject of this dreadful watch. I bet the owner can't wait for the minute hand to cover the lume at 10 past and 25 past the hour. Gives them a 1 minute break from the trauma 😁

Direct quote from Fratello magazine, "Value aside, it is a very cool tribute and beautiful executed watch." WTF?! No respect for this publication. I've found better examples of a redial on the "Worst Redial" thread!

What I find concerning on this is that they rounded up 25 vintage Omega’s, we assume not highly expensive pieces (although a ‘69/70 is not play money), had them modified, and mounted and strap and put it in a fancy roll. Did they service them? Did they offer a warranty. And at $2.5k, they had to still be making a serious profit, so what was the quality of the original watches they bought (the one above ain’t looking so hot to me).
It’s one thing to have Tiffany order new stock that is store branded for sale directly from Omega, it’s another to round up 40 year old watches and rebrand them for sale.

They did this years ago, before most collectors really cared about a -69 Speedmaster. It'd be ridiculous to do nowadays

Agreed but egos like this don’t care.... they would just charge $10k now
