Thank you, I am excited. Between this and the Bond60th, it'll be an expensive year haha

Have to say, the bond 60th is a stunning watch. Blown away when I received mine, would be struggling to make a choice if it had to be one only!

Just finally pick it up
Wonderful, classy and understated

It really is, I couldn't agree more. Congrats on picking yours up this week!

I have no history with any OB. I asked to get on the list a few months ago lol I was told 150k purchase history. I reiterated that I was a collector, but I bet my request was tossed out.
Tbh if there’s any watch worth paying a premium, it’s the EW321. What’s a 3k+ premium over a 15k watch that is super difficult to get? It’s an iconic watch and a collector’s piece. It will never be accessible, it’s been a few years.
A super nice original Ed white on bracelet costs the same… new is better and safer. I’ll be saving up or trading up for one.

Yes, my OB interaction felt a bit strange when I asked about the EW a couple years ago. They wanted me to establish several purchases with them. I explained that I was a collector and that they did not have anything other than the EW that I wanted. They're familiar with my collection as I've walked in to get bracelets and adjustments for all of my LE Speedmasters.

Luckily, my now-wife bought me one as a gift. I went grey market. Just get what you want. No games.

Some better photos of mine. It's just gorgeous. The craftsmanship on it is amazing, it is definitely punching above its weight class.

I had express my interests on the Ed White a couple of months ago and I managed to pick it up last month just before Christmas.

That's my philosophy as well, I refuse to play Rolex-like games to get a watch I want. Life is too short. Everybody's approach and tolerance is different.

Looks like a batch of 321's recently got released. I've seen a few postings on here, the Speedmaster FB group, IG, and one on TRF about people receiving their EW321.

These are great--what camera/lens do you use?

I recently decided to get on the waiting list at my local AD and at an OB in a somewhat nearby city for an Ed White cal. 321....

You were able to get on a list?...

"We do not keep a list, sir. There is no reason."

How's everyone getting on with the wait list?
I've been on the list at a few OBs here in the UK for approx 1 yr but still no luck.
I've noticed the prices for grey market watches have gone down so I might make the jump

Curious as well. In the same boat. I’ve been on a couple lists for a year as well.

I called my nearest OB today and they said they’ve had a “no more orders” instruction from omega for most of this year

I think it highly depends on your location and your relationship with your local OB manager. I have noticed spend history isn’t necessary with my local OB. I waited less than 3 months for my Ed White and maybe less than 6 months for my Snoopy 50th after release. Previous purchase history a 9300 steel in 2007.
Good luck to all who are waiting, I am pretty sure Omega will deliver without you having to go to grey

The local OB here told me "no orders, no waitlist" but then suggested that I buy the Canopus 321 and said I could get that quickly at list. 🤮

So just went grey and couldn't be happier. It is such a great watch.
