Twice now this year I’ve had my local boutique contact me with the offer of watches that have been out of stock for ages. One was an Apollo 11 50th anniversary Speedy and the second a 57 trilogy Speedy. I didn’t take them up on either due to other purchases made this last year but am super curious how such watches are still becoming available as new stock.

Anyone else had this and does anyone know where these watches have been sitting until now?! Given they were both limited editions and popular (I believe), I don’t get where these ones are coming from!

Was it in London by any chance, a member got his A11 50SS there 2 months ago:

Hi All,

I retired earlier this year and decided that the Titanium World Timer would be my last Omega for a while. Then they launched the FOIS and I fell in love. Fine I thought, it's a one off...

I got my Seamaster Trilogy in '21 from an OB in Madrid, they had 2, I know because they initially sent me the watch with a wrong LE number on the paperwork.

The pipeline from the factory to store display case can be long and twisting. Stock gets held back, misdirected, returned, lost and eventually lands in a store. Stuff happens.

The Houston OB had an Apollo 17 40th Anniversary Speedmaster on display for nearly a decade.

What was the price of the trilogy?

Thanks all. Trilogy was about £7,500 I think. Looks to be in line with the £7,300 for the same Seamaster, which is still listed on the UK Omega sight (although with a "join the waitlist" applied rather than showing as available)

Was in Karachi Pakistan this past weekend, Omega store had both an Aqua Terra golf on a bracelet with the green second hand and a new Aqua Terra Tokyo 2020 on the rubber bracelet, if memory serves me correct they wanted around 7k USD for the golf and about 8,250k USD for the Tokyo....

Those are two very nice watches, I would have picked them up.

Well yes I don’t disagree that they’re nice watches, but unfortunately my annual watch budget isn’t infinite!

And how much did they ask for the Apollo 11 50th? I always thought and remembered they offered these at the old prices from release, never updated ones since that's makes no sense. Update the price to which current model?

No, they increased the price on the A11 to €10k+ accordingly with the price increases of the Snoopy till recently.

Seamaster Trilogy was € 7k in 2021 and now would have been 8k+ if it would have still been listed.
