I don't know what xD means and I'm not even interested in finding out.

 

This is what I found when I looked it up:

an expression used in text messages or e-mails signaling happiness or laughter. XD is an emoticon. X represents closed eyes while D stands for an open mouth.

 

So it's SFW to google? I don't to google some expression and have a bunch of NSFW stuff pop up.

 

Come on guys for real ?
I mean it's like "lol" or ""
It's really common on forums, or at least that's what I thought.

 

XD is analogous to this emoji on your phone:



Just like : ) looks like two eyes and a smile, X D looks like pinched eyes and laughing.

 

"XD" gets a pass because it's something that could have been made on a typewriter.

Some of our younger members may have to google what typewriter means.

 

FIFY xD

 

Hey, sorry, I'm a little fuzzy... what's the difference between limited edition and limited production? Thanks!

 

Limited edition has a set number of pieces produced which has the number engraved on the caseback and comes with a certificate stating the edition number, limited production means no set number made (or confirmed by Omega). People are saying they will only make this for two years, unless Omega specifically states that I would not accept that as fact. Most likely Omega will have an open end on production, they will make it until they feel they have satisfied the inherent demand. The Apollo 8 and Ed White are like this.....limited production with no end date, and no indication on watch or paperwork as to how many are being made.

 

Thanks! That makes sense

 

I’m missing something here, when has it been confirmed it’s going to not be a limited edition?

All I’ve seen is people here staying OBs and ADs have told them this? My OB said it was a limited edition of 7000?

3rd hand should not be considered “confirmed”

 

You’re not missing anything. There is a consensus but no direct confirmation from Omega corporate. We will all find out the truth on 10/5.

 

I take my OB over the “consensus” here, as they didn’t tell me just in passing.
I was enquiring about getting 2 (as the wife has a larger watch collection then me including speedmaster), so the checked up got back to me a few days later with a no because of the limited edition and how many reserved for our region etc

Then my OB stated “well at least they gave away that’s going to be a limited edition of 7000 as we’d heard rumours it wasn’t a limited edition, I wondered if they realised they’d accidentally told us”.

Again mine info is still 3rd hand so I won’t be shocked either way.
My preference is for non limited edition as then we cools get 2

 

I’m not sure where you’re located but were you able to reserve 2 watches then?

I hope that the people who really want one gets one. The last release was way too small.

 

No we’re only allowed one so I miss out this time as I got the moonshine 50th (though the wife does borrow it).

 

Limited Edition / limited production could just be the same thing in the end. If Omega produce around 7000 over two years then it’s the same as having produced 7000 LE.

 

Yes very good point maybe they did work off 7000 because that’s how many they’ll produce as non limited edition but limited production. That’d cover all info so far.

 

Still could be along these lines

 

White ceramic would be supercool.

 

difference will be having them numbered vs. not. You know the collectors love them numbers!
