Doubt it, but if the design is not compelling 2020 units may be enough. Omega has issued some 'dogs' over the years.

 

I think they will stick the 3861 into it and then have it become standard in the regular Speedmaster next year. The same way they made the 321 in precious metal then it became stainless.

 

What time is the release? Anyone know?

 

Oh man, this thread is getting heated.

It’s just a watch guys

 

1h 7 min to go

 

At least I hope so

 

Where can I find it? Honest question.

 

OT, but for those looking to scratch a space Speedy itch, Away on Netflix is absolutely lousy with Speedmasters. So-so drama but some fine watches.

My AD isn’t taking deposits and hasn’t heard anything. Yet.

 

You won't find it, it will find you. It will be all over the watch internet the instant Omega releases the embargo, you won't be able to avoid it.

We are now on page 68, let's try to get to page 70......you know, 1970. Once it is released this thread will be deader than a doornail.

 

I mean it wouldn't be a flex if you weren't pointing out direct facts lol. Anyways good for you though, the 45th is an awesome watch and I'm happy you were able to get one.

AAPL can try to consider any small detail a corporate secret because they're the largest company in the world with a reach and interest that is frankly not even on the same planet as Omega/Swatch. Even then, they feed small leaks before launches, and as long as no pics are released, they're ok as far as maintaining "corporate secrets" go.

Don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with speculation on this forum, and understand the weight (lack thereof) it carries. However, my issue is if OBs/SAs that take it upon themselves to make things up that are simply not true. It's one thing to say "I don't know for sure, but I heard or think it will be this," vs "yes I can confirm it will be this because I heard it directly from corporate." I've been getting a lot of the latter which is why I'm inclined to believe it's true. Now if it' not, either corporate are feeding them false info, or they are just taking the liberty of making things up. Not the end of the world obviously, but the latter is just a pet peeve of mine.

 

Thinking there was a webcast somewhere. Thanks.

 

Do we reckon an announcement at 12am BST?

 

Great! I'll be the one with the snoopy (hopefully)!

 

No worries. I always felt this thread was meant to be fun but people took it way too seriously. I know tone doesn’t come across well in a forum or the web and I write more formally than I speak. I was just bothered by all the vitriol about who was more right and why people would spend their money on things they haven’t seen. Perhaps I should stop commenting here. I thought I was helping people who were interested in the watch by sharing my experiences.

 

Not long now

No leaks at 11pm bst like on the Rolex releases

guess I’ll have to wait for midday CET

 

That would be nice.

Nothing on their website

 

US date/time to unveil? After all it is in US 50 years ago the award was made

 

I think we need a few more people asking what time the reveal is happening.
