路Tried one on yesterday, not really for me but maybe my partner. I have to say the thickness didn鈥檛 bother me at all.

路I just wish the sub dials were smaller...or something.

路Just tried the black dial one at OB. Surprisingly, it wears much better than the numbers (especially the thickness) suggest. With my casual wear on, I don't feel 1mm more thickness than my 321 EW. I wear formal attire with a tie during weekdays, and I am keen to drop by again on way home and re-try it.

路The Speedmaster 38 product line has been around for a long time. This update is just a minor facelift with a new dial and bezel, plus a new bracelet. I believe the case is the same.
It seems OMEGA isn't planning to put too much effort into the smaller Speedmaster.
A while ago, Speedmaster 38 was being sold as a women's watch.
Perhaps they thought women didn't care about the thickness, and you guys could probably accept that.

路I wonder if anyone has any insight into why it is so thick. I guess it has an inherently thick 7750 base even though highly upgraded with coaxial escapement, silicone hairspring, column wheel. Also to me the handstack looks kind of tall in the videos online

路I was at my OB yesterday, but didn't have a chance to try one on. They are sharp looking, I'm not surprised they'll be popular! I DID chat with one of the sales-folks that they are REALLY popular and they are selling them very quickly. So at least a little bit of 'market speaking'? She said the white one and the black-no-date are both really popular.

路I last updated the other thread, so I'll do this one this time. I went to the AD a few days ago and tried it on, really liked it, decided to wait and think on it.
Thought about it, emailed my sales associate and asked if it was still there. It was. I put down a deposit. I went today to pick it up.
On the way there I had the usual thoughts, too much money, lousy resale on reduced Speedys, do I need another watch, etc. Went in, put it back on my wrist, and I'm like... meh. Yeah, it fits me well, but it's really nothing special and the bracelet does grab at my arm hairs a bit.
So I got my deposit back. Maybe later, maybe I'll find one used, maybe once they've been out for a while I can get it grey market for a lot less, we'll see.
It sucks for me because all of these 42mm watches that they're making just don't fit me.

路question for the masses - is this the same exact watch as the Milano Cortina speedy? obviously without the olympic theme.
