The AD close to my home here in Paris has all three (speed, sea and rail) available. I really wonder if Omega f...ailed to control its production process as they claim, or if they tried to give the impression that the series was rare to push people to buy them urgently. The damn think was so ridiculous.I canceled my reservation and asked for deposit refund with my OB. After a 9 month wait, they couldn't give me any information on a delivery date, and at the same time I bought it from an AD in area, who had it for sale for more than one month. Let's see what they will offer for Basel 2018, but for me, they have lost all credibility.
Individual pieces previously. Seems like people are making multiple reservations and ultimately buying one. Omega was probably overestimating demand from this.
#1160 reporting for duty. Looks great on just about any strap! Me wearing the new, my brother wearing the inherited old, my late father’s 1961 CK 14755.
For anyone interested in the Speedmaster, I have one on hold at a US Boutique at MSRP. Can transfer to another buyer, Boutique will ship upon payment. PM for details
Now that Baselworld 2018 is done, will this Trilogy be pursued earnestly by collectors. I’m still waiting for my last Trilogy - the Railmaster. Hoping I could pick one soon before any sudden change in demand for this piece. I also ordered the modern Railmaster timepiece in the denim strap. Looks awesome. Price-wise, I think the modern is closer to the Explorer 1.
Notice the hour hand of your father’s Seamaster is not broad arrow compared to the 60th anniversary edition, is this the case? Thanks!
Lets see... would not expect that Baselworld is a driver for these models... Maybe just because there were no good alternatives presented at Baselworld
I had a call from my local AD today. They had a speedmaster in, but the original purchaser doesn’t want it. They told me 3weeks ago it could be mine if they didn’t buy, but never thought it would happen. Is on hold for me until next Friday when I get back from holiday. Can’t wait. Whether the railmaster and speedy can co-exist is something I’ll be looking to find out.will post pics next week.
