I still haven't had chance to get my proper camera out but here are a few quick smartphone pictures. I can't get over how good this watch is and I do feel very fortunate to have it.

Just a quick update to say I picked up the 321 and I am so happy with it. Its late so I will update with some pictures soon.

Wow, was this a simple walk in and the store had one and you could buy it? I have been waiting since it was announced but without success, guess my local store doesn’t like me as much as I thought.

Nah; I don’t think this was an instant order at MSRP from a Boutique, and if it was then our boy here is threading some needle nobody else should expect to thread

Thanks for sharing, beautiful watch. I like the size (39.7mm), compared to other Speedmasters in 42mm.

I was not really in the market for the new 321 EdWhite at is kind of expensive, on the other hand i am fighting with myself since the announcement trying to justify the purchase.
Sometimes i get carried away and want to pull the trigger... last week the the Extract from Archives for another watch arrived, i logged into my account and also put myself on the wishlist for the EdWhite...
Filled in the form for the OB which is not the Capital of Austria since the chance getting something there would be higher.
I received an email from the OB on the same day asking if i want to put myself on a waiting list.. since i dont make much hopes anyways i said yes 🤦 well the answer was. "We get those on regular basis, and we expect you will hear from us in a couple of months" 😲 i have no previous history there whatsoever...
Now i am in even bigger trouble thinking what i could sell in order to be prepaired just in case 😒or maybe i should just relax and leave it as it is

Epic watch mate, welcome to Omegaforums and enjoy it, what’s the next piece on the list?

Thanks so much, I appreciate the welcome. Good question, there are a few pieces I really like... The Seamaster AT Worldtimer and Speedmaster Moonohase are amazing but not sure about the size. I really like the London Boutique limited Edition (blue dial) and of course the Snoopy but not actually sure that is possible.

Only one flaw. No tritium. 🙁 Otherwise, it’s perfect.
Congrats on joining the club. It’s a gorgeous watch.

Where does one just walk into an AD/OB an get offered this watch? so i can fly there and buy one. I have been after one for 2yrs to no luck.
My OB(with which i have substantial purchase history) basically told me no chance until maybe 2023 or later.

I refuse to pay over retail

OP said neither that it was purchased at an AD/OB, nor that they didn’t pay over retail…

so I am going to go back and purchase the 321.

… is all that was mentioned


So I think everyone can dial back the pocket-watching 😁

I took some lume shots of this watch last night - it looks fabulous in low light! More shots on the main NEW321 thread.

Is that Rondo alla Turca in the background?

I hadn't appreciated when I started this thread that my fortune in getting this piece would upset folks who have been waiting longer than I did and I am sorry for that. I don't want to aggravate any further so I think it's best I say no more.

That’s fine. You didn’t aggravate me. I was just curious if it was an AD or Omega Boutique purchase. PM sent.

Very very attractive 321... With no franken risk... 😁
Buy the way, does this new EWhite has a case with facets, like the original one?
