    I like my SpeedTril $75,000 more today.
    But seriously, so it’s gold trilogy case with New321 dial and movement, correct?

    but Moonshine and Sedna speedy is $36k. Why $80 for this? What am I missing?

    Onyx dial, sapphire in caseback, but agreed it's too expensive maybe to make the other Speedy's they offer look like a bargain?

    If you take the platinum 321 that also has a onyx dial and add on a canopus 3861 bracelet (not that you ever should mix PMs), you're still going to have $6k left over.

    And lets assume the difference between the platinum and canopus case makes up for the teeny sapphire.

    I really have no clue whats up with this pricing.

    omega marketing is missing out on the flex culture. No young person is getting laid buying this, it’s a $6k watch on IG.

    $81k…that’s TWO complicated Patek.

    unless, this is made to drive entry level pieces. This makes no sense to me.

    Ill repeat my post in RJ's thread ...

    Absolutely fabulous piece ::love::::love::::love:: Even if I could allow myself to afford this, I would still have to be honest with myself (because it is not possible to lie to yourself) : the winner is...

    ...especially with the pictured combo of a mint 1960's 1035/506. Thanks Omega for continuing to make stunning watches, as well as continuing to affirm the choice of awesome watches I have already bought from you :thumbsup:

    I think I know what’s going on with pricing. Palladium and Gold are actually more expensive than platinum right now. Omega must have a much larger profit margin on a platinum 321 than on a Canopus 3861 with bracelet. This new Canopus 321 would likely be more expensive to make than a platinum 321. I suspect they want this to be a halo piece and maintain margins similar to platinum 321. It’s still absurd , because at this price level they are trying to play out of their league.

    I NEVER ever been in the AP Boutique in Paris because I can't afford it yet. I actually never ever worn one.

    But I think that I will probably never buy a "recent" watch" on the grey market.
    But never say never ...

    And that, I believe, is exactly what Omega is trying to achieve with exceptional(ly expensive) pieces like these. ;)

    pasting RJ's article, the tach is filled in with grand feu enamel. Is this model not a limited run or numbered edition?

    It's unlimited, but probably only a few will be made each year, commensurate with demand.

    now if only they'd make one of these in steel, drop the sapphire and put a solid steel caseback on it (and adjust the price accordingly of course). then we'd have a winner!

    ....wait a minute....

    Pass on the watch - way out of my budget. With that said though, that presentation box *should* have been the one the platinum or SS 321 watches came with!!

    Seemed like price increased, I recall seeing € 80,4K, checking now it shows € 85,6K:

    Also price differential USD-EUR 4.5K compared to SS321 differing only 0,1K .:thumbsdown:
