I love the watch….looks gorgeous and would love to add one to my collection. Mach, thanks so much for posting so many pictures at different angles and in different lighting. Very helpful to me as I haven’t had the chance yet to see one in person!
Saw it when I had the watch in hand.
My pleasure, sir! Here’s another photo:
For those that are curious, I’ve confirmed the lug-to-lug length is 46mm utilizing “modern” technology:
But the point I wanted to make was that I really feel the strap making team at Omega need to wake up and get with what's going on, the 'vintage look' strap on this new 859 with the side stitching near the lugs is just so 2018 and neither period correct nor what is seen as an acceptable 'vintage look' in 2022
It's actually quite simple:
- Omega has abandoned the concept of Limited Editions altogether
- They still do numbered editions (limited in terms of time in production, although not communicated how long, and consecutively numbered)
- They do limit supply for high-demand models (321, Snoopy) but they are not numbered
Discount: depends on the relationship with your AD, generally they can of course give discounts. OBs by policy not (in Switzerland).
It will not be easy for Omega to go upto 9999 with this watch in foreseeable future. It's no doubt a beautiful watch but will not be hot seller beyond our small watch collector's community IMHO. Regards
Totally agree on this. The two-stitch style got to go. From the looks of it the material is also similar to ST1's two-stitch, seems lifeless. They should revive vintage styles like this:
I remember someone posted a strap maker who makes vintage styled straps like this, but I didn't save the link. 😵💫
Does anyone know the company?
