    NICE! I am also interested in getting one. What was the delivery lead time quoted by your OB?

    I was told to be prepared to wait a few months at least, I get the impression that while this isn’t a limited edition per se, it’s a more a limited production capacity due to the unusual movement coating, unique case and caseback etc.

    This one has really grown on me, was reading an article about it the other day and drooling over the pics. Will be a painful but exciting wait, happy for you.

    Very cool, congratulations! But this model is not a LE, right?

    You are correct it is limited production, as in not many made per year but not limited edition as they are not setting an enddate at present and they are not numbered. So in a sense its similar to the Aventurine Speedmaster that was made for a couple of years in very small numbers.

    Very nice, the U.S. Omega website says it is no longer available. Maybe it means it isn't readily available.

    Congratulations on your Speedy, I am still waiting for mine. My OB says that in the next couple of weeks should be arriving.

    Yea that's the impression I get.

    I had another mate put a deposit down today in Brisbane also, and my understanding is if you go to your local boutique and ask they will likely be able to help you place an expression of interest or a deposit, a couple of people PMed me asking about that so yea for the best information contact your local boutique and ask them about it.
