    If the piece ends up not being "limited edition", I can see many people taking their deposits back...

    Not likely that low. Speedy Tuesday Ultraman was $7100 in 2018, so it is going to be more expensive than that. Apollo 11 was $9650 with some gold and 3861 movement. I suspect we are looking at similar price, right at $10,000.

    Going to be a tough decision if it does price closer to 10, especially since it's not LE. I'm guessing somewhere in the middle, in the 8's likely.

    I really hope that's not the case. 50% higher than the last edition, and not LE, it would have to at least live up to or surpass the 45th for me. If it prices based more on hype than merit, that'd be disappointing.

    Interested in this watch but not at 10K.......Especially not knowing what it looks like.

    Also if's it not an LE issue then shouldn't we be able to get one as soon as the initial fervor dies down?

    All signs point to it being either limited production or limited edition, with limited production there's still a chance that the getting one is difficult (e.g. 321)

    This one will have some element of a precious metal being the 50th, so that alone will justify a higher price...

    Precious metals will certainly push 10k+, but I think there will be 2 versions?

    Maybe Omega has finished with limited editions for good because of all the criticism it has received?

    I hope so because I've turned off to their limited editions.

    In my eyes this is a no brained. When they limit it to, let’s say, 5000 pieces, they will make 50 000 000 Million in revenue on the spot. When it is a numbered edition or just a regular no one knows how many they can sell.

    Now just call it limited production without a set number. They don't want to get stuck with another Apollo 17 40th anniversary which can still be found on Omega website and boutiques or underproduce like the last Snoopy.

    told something special about the movement so perhaps similar to DSOM Apollo 8

    Possibly, but more likely something similar to the footprint treatment on the Apollo 11. Or maybe the balance wheel is in the shape of a dog biscuit.
