·Like someone else mentioned, if Omega's great marketing plan is to copy watches from the past, then the future of the speedmaster looks grim. Kinda reminds me of Jaguar (cars) a decade ago, before Tata bought them and turned things around.

·Isn't it more a matter of copying watches from the present that copy watches from the past?

·I mean it's not that great.. But "OF ALL TIME?" I'm sure plenty of forum members can provide examples of worse.

That watch is like seeing watching a gorgeous woman at a beach promenade.
Classy, dressed elegantly and complementing to her figure...
Her bearing is upright and dignified, her smile beautiful and alluring...
She turns to look at something, and her light blouse is catched by the wind and lifted sligthly, revealing...

Man, every time I see that dial it just seems better suited as a snow globe or novelty ashtray...

You nailed it! I think the watch and tattoo have same font.

Multiple folks mentioned the $5400 price yesterday, which was just about enough to still keep me interested.
I was definitely surprised at hearing $6500 from the boutique today. I will likely take my chances on the secondary market.

·Omega has this annoying habit of quoting prices in CHF... and then later, throwing out a USD price which bear no resemblance at all to currency conversion. $6500 is strong for this piece, but in line with prior LE's from 2014/2015... so I can't say I'm terribly surprised. I don't think I will let $1000 sway me either way, but with 2998 pieces, and lack of that WOW factor, this will not sell out like Snoopy, IMHO, but still you should stay in contact with your boutique sales rep as this is a boutique only piece. Secondary market will take longer but will probably get you in that mid 5k range for those with more patience than me.

·I'm actually kinda growing out of the watch, rather than it growing on me. I liked it at first, but the new ceramic Daytona white dial is much more appealing to me. Maybe, if I'd missed out on a Snoopy, and I didn't have a Mitsukoshi dial and hand set sitting around to transplant into an appropriate subject someday, then I'd be more interested in this one. I've passed on lot's of LE Speedmasters, and this might have to be another of them. Then again, who knows...

·Why did this thread get moved to the vintage forum? 😕
