·Just got a call from the OB in St. Louis, saying that the 60th Anniversary watches are in the US, and that they think the Speedmaster 60th I ordered could be in their hands by as early as this weekend. Of course I have to go out of town this weekend...but it sounds like an optimistic timeline to me anyways. Interesting that we all get differing Intel... It's progress though!
Apparently it's in the store...So I'll be going for it tonight.

·so i am just curious. . .at 20k CHF you could buy a decent original railmaster or seamaster rather than this re-issue. curious if anyone actually thought about the comparison ?

For me (and I suspect a lot of people), that's at least a part of the reason why I bought the speedy.
I could conceivably own a 2913 at some point if I decide I want one enough to prioritize it. Unless I win the lottery, I'll never own a 2915. And chances are Omega will never make a watch that's closer to a 2915 than this one. So if I ever want to have that look, this is my chance to get it.

·Between the three threads dedicated to the '57 Speedy, I probably won't be able to get much sleep tonight knowing I'm picking mine up tomorrow morning.

·NO COMPLAINTS about the seamaster. Pretty great. Tried to fit the bracelet on an ed white, the endlinks were very snug, don't think they will work unless filed down very slightly

·I got an email from my OB this morning (5th Ave, NYC) for my Speedmaster. The watch is in their hands and I will be getting it within the next 2 days as I am away for work. But yeah, they are here for sure! I am so excited as this is my fiances gift to me for my wedding. 😀

Yes I did, and I believe many did. While my rationale may prove a bit too simplistic for many, 5-10 years ago vintage was trading at attractive prices vs. new. Now, I believe this is no longer the case for many brands. Not only prices for vintage have gone through the roof (with 20k CHF you could buy a nice 2915 10 years ago, and now you can only get a decent rail or seamaster, but people seem to have totally forgotten that parts will be tougher and tougher to get and service more and more expensive. So, all in, I prefer a new "vintage-like" that is going to work perfectly well over the next 20 years.

·Awesome, someone with a standard and 60th. Could you please tell us if the bezel diameter is identical? Does it wear bigger, smaller or the same?
Well, I picked it up, came home, and put it away because I have to travel this weekend : (
My initial impression is that the watch feels a bit longer and is a little heavier, but wears very similarly. Once I get to wear it more, I'll have a better answer...

Thanks. Please do follow up if it’s in the not too distant future.

·Hate to plug here but the RM is fantastic size after 34 hours. Easily an every day watch...
