·Did you, by any chance, look into how much it costs to have this movement serviced?

·I have done the two for one swap myself, with the right watches it is a perfectly viable way to go.

Movement is a modified 1861. Omega service will cover it like any other Speedmaster.

It will be an additional fee, and will be sent direct to Biel/Bienne. I have a gold limited edition Speedmaster that was serviced a couple years back. Omega had the watch for almost a year.

··Prolific Speedmaster HoarderI have had mine for nearly seven years now. It would be interesting to know how many are owned by members of the forum.

I’ll tell you the other one that is also a Moonphase that there are hardly any of, is that Aventurine moonphase, I called it “The Phantom” 10 years ago because they were released but never seen, there are literally a handful of those on the forum too.
Both are exceptionally beautiful watches too

·There definitely aren’t many, I’d say less than 10, which is saying a lot as there are more 2915 owners than that.

Is there a black and a dark blue dial Aventurine? Or do they just appear slightly different in the few photos I have seen?
thanks.

·It depends on lighting and angle but also the dials do vary from watch to watch line meteorite and mother of pearl so no two are exactly alike. They had a very high failure rate in production as the Aventurine is very fragile which artificially limited the production, so much so that most collectors don’t even know it exists.
Beautiful watch, and very interesting about the dial being so difficult to manufacture. I’ve only recently discovered this model, although as you say kind of a limited manufacture although not an LE! Probably very hard to find one on the market. Thanks for the info.

·I present to you my latest purchase: Omega Speedmaster ref. 36893000. This is a reference that celebrates 30 years of the Apollo XI mission. This is neither a limited nor a numbered edition. Produced in 285 pieces between 1999 and 2004. The reflections and the chromatic contrasts are crazy. The photos fail to fully convey the beauty of this piece, which is why I also leave a short video.
I hope you like it, I find it wonderful.

·Late to the oohs and awes response for that beautiful watch, but...WOW! My guess is I'll see this watch in my dreams (because that's the only place I'll see it.)

Mine says hi. I got it 8 years ago from a reputable seller, it came with a "long indices" dial.
It's great at playing with the light, I don't think I will ever let it go.
I have since found another one online with long indices and a serial number not far from mine. Photos below.

Do you have any clue why there are two versions of the dial? Very interesting…

·According to MWO there was only one white gold version (3689.30) which had a silver dial with short markers. But there was a stainless steel model with a silver dial with tall markers (3575.30), this had Broad Arrow hands. So if a tall marker dial appears in a white gold case it would seemingly be a replacement dial and not an original Omega model.
Yes agree with you, "seemingly". That was my original thought although the watch didn't appear to have been serviced when I bought it.
My local Omega boutique sent it to Bienne for a service a few years ago, they replaced pushers and hands but left the dial as is, and there this is other one found online with a very close serial (which are not consecutive for this reference as you will know, and quite spread out from my own research)
Do you have any clue why there are two versions of the dial? Very interesting…
