Looks quite a bit nicer in the live shots. Still don't like the blue-on-silver color scheme, especially the plasticky vibe of the H/M and chrono seconds hands.
I think saying this "broke the internet" yesterday is a bit too much of an exaggeration though, as it seems to have been met with as many shrugs as accolades - not a flop by a long shot, but certainly not a home run either.
All trades (watch trades lol) gave initial positive impressions of the reveal, and the watch attracted alot of interest and interaction on social media moreso than the bond watches which have been heavily promoted.
Moreso it has attracted attention of those who don't usually shop. Generally impressions seem to be positive across the board with a minority like me unhappy with the price.
There seems to be an awful lot of people butthurt by the fact this isn't a limited edition, and dozens of flippers saying it's not worth buying because of it. IMO Omega made the right call to help filter out speculators. If I'm going to pay more for a watch, I'd rather give my money to Omega, so they can develop their watches and their brand, rather than lazy flippers who buy only to resell.

Great move by Omega.
It is supposed to be Boutique only.
It is priced at a level that has angered so many.
I don't want flippers getting anywhere near it or ADs.
I would like to see Omega keep any flippers or those than don't want to make an effort kept in the dark.
I would like to get one and then have Omega cease production and have them deliver the remaining items over the course of next year 2021.
I'm sure it was front-page news for those who have been highly anticipating it, but for the rest of us who aren't interested in it other than the fact it's a Speedmaster it hasn't seemed to make much of an impression, is what I'm saying. Again: Not a flop, not a misfire; just not something that breaks the internet either.

I still don't have AD confirmation but looks like it's going to be priced at 13,000 here in Canada, so approaching 15k after taxes. That's too rich for me but I'm happy to admire from afar -- and hope I find one with box and papers in the MAKE US AN OFFER! bin at a flea market one day.
