Are there really rumors of a new Speedy launching today at the Tokyo #speedytuesday Fratello GTG…or is my 110%-clickbait-title-that-really-did-get-you-if-you-are-reading-this just the start? 😁

We can't have nice things. They took away special editions because people complained.

There will probably never be another Speedy Tuesday edition due to Omega's new strategy of catering to higher end watch buyers and generally ignoring the collector class seen here on OF. That's why a bone stock Speedmaster with plastic crystal now retails for $7,000, take it or leave it.

Even rumors about rumors is enough to make jet another Speedy tread.

Even though collector-directed editions like the Speedy Tuesday and Apollo LEs exceeding MSRP is arguably what made Omega palatable to those higher-end watch speculators to begin with...

I suppose that the new Speedy Tuesday will be equipped with the cal.3861, IF there is a real "murmur" about it.

This is may be it, the new 2023 specialties Speedy. A non Professional so going back to it`s roots and a handy bezel for those visually challenged. Would be great to see this at the AD !

I've been confused about this. I know Fratello was doing an event - but I haven't heard a thing.....

To this day I don’t know the real story behind the image in the book.
