I'm going to make a prediction here that due to the number of units the Speedmaster will not sell out that quickly but will be hard to source after a year or so similar to the CK2998 and will be available at or below MSRP at some point.
The Seamaster I'm thinking will take a fair bit longer to sell, and the Railmaster (which I really want), due to its lack of awareness and features will be a slow seller, and should be available at a decent discount eventually, at which point I'll hopefully be in a position to pick one up maybe next year or something. I have a feeling that Railmaster might actually come down enough to really be good value in time, and would be a superb daily wearer.

That's what I said about the Spectre Seamaster 300 that was limited to "only" 7007 pieces and I've only seen it once under MSRP by $200 and used. Now it's impossible to own without paying a premium.

Oh man when I saw the omega release video I was super excited for the SM300... now as the wristshots surface it looks extremely shiny with all this polished surfaces. That was what put my off the last SM reissue. I will have to wait for the Boutique invitation evening to see this in person. In the end I might stick with vintage if this looks as shiny in person as it does in the pictures 🤔.
Yeah. While I am getting one no matter what, it baffles me why Omega feels the need for all the high polishing on a piece like this. Like you said, same w the last SM which to my eye was a bit distracting with so much shine. With the trend of many mfg's going back to their archives and releasing vintages, they should consider bringing in a little consulting from the vintage watch community (or perhaps polling) on some of the sticking points that are important to vintage loving consumers. That said, all and all they did an amazing job this go around and as a vintage guy, never been more excited to obtain a newly made watch 😀.
