·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.

··Wow! Custom title... coolFor some reason as I look as t it on this pic it seems to busy. It's the compressed subdial because of size ( and I actually like the size so not arguing it should be larger) and the brown-mustard lume and black dial and steel case and hands and white subdial markers...... Simple it is not. Too many contrasting design features maybe
I agree totally.
Speedmaster: after more careful examination there are a couple of elements that I don't like and the greatest threat to this and every other Speedmaster variant is the actual Moonwatch. I would in all honesty rather buy a new plain Moonwatch than this.
Seamaster: Why have both this and the regular Seamaster 300 Master Co-Axial? I like the regular better since it is a tribute to the old Seamaster 300 but with it's own new design elements. The 57 LE looks like an exact copy of the old one, which I don't get. It's like Omega is trying too hard to bring back the watches that are so popular with the vintage crowd now and doubling in value every other year

·My local AD said that The Netherlands aren't getting very many of these (they even said they'll get precisely one for that dealer). Called them this morning, and there was already a waiting list. Didn't have time today to call other Dutch AD's but I expect the situation will be similar. Oh well, we'll see.

·I believe the trilogy text is a no go for many people...
Hopefully i will get my hands on the Speedy 😀
But they didnt have much info today the time I called the Prague OB, when I told her I ve read about paying deposits, she was kind of shocked and didnt believe it.

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.
I think that the 2915T (tribute) will hold its value, and even appreciate over time. The delta between a vintage one and the tribute is vast. And even if you want to afford a vintage 2915, it is still hard to source.
I agree with your SM/RM analysis. For the SM and RM, the delta between tribute and vintage is not that great. I suspect that the tributes will force some downward pressure on the vintage SM and RM prices as demand falls.
It is a pity that the SM/RM tributes do not have a hesalite crystal like the originals.

·Are you talking Ace?
Nope, I only talked to Schaap en Citroen (which, by the way, translates as 'Sheep and Lemon'). But their stores make up some 20% of Dutch Omega AD's, so I'm not very hopeful that other ones get many more than S&C (...say that they) do. Sadly, still no boutique in The Netherlands. And I'm not driving to Paris for one 😀

You mirror my thought process the last 24 hours. I thought I would be at least getting the new seamaster and maybe the speedy but now I've moved on (a request for 100% deposit certainly played a factor).
I would rather get a plain moonwatch for 1/2 the price of the LE. In terms of seamaster, I have 2500 PO with some design hints of the original but with its own modern reinterpretation and design elements and I think I will just stick with it.
Still hoping for #ST though.

··Wow! Custom title... coolYes, the Speedy Tuesday is still far more desireable that the 2915 LE. Nice work Robert Jan!

·While 3,557 is not a small number of units, I'd expect that they will all be spoken for by the time watches are ready for delivery.

··Spell Master!I have to think the frustration so many felt over missing out on #ST will generate a fair amount of extra FOMO over these three LEs and we will probably see the non-Trilogy units sell out fairly quick. Very interested to see what the market looks like after they're all delivered. I'm on the list for the SM300, and a bit of FOMO pushed me to pull the trigger there, but mostly because I really do love what they did with the design.

·Wow. All the boutiques and ADs are saying they've had huge interest and there's already a massive waiting list, so everyone had better get their name down quick? Fancy that😉
They do look great (trilogy text on dial excluded). Surprisingly it's the SM300 that's caught my eye more than the RM, although I think any would make a great daily wearer. Strongly suspect I'll end up with one of them.
I do actually think these will hold their value over time, with the Speedy likely increasing slightly. The biggest factor will be any future re-editions adding to these numbers.

·I inquired here locally in DC and they also said that there has been robust interest all day long. They wouldn't confirm receipt of one even with full deposit as demand globally has been quite strong. This watch will be sold out very soon.....

I'd already placed my order by that time. I was just calling to make sure that my payment had processed correctly and that my reservation was confirmed. The rep was apologizing for taking so long to locate my reservation because they'd been "flooded with calls" about the new models, specifically the speedmaster. It was sort of an off-hand comment.
