·I agree. I also don't like that its aesthetically the same as the original. That's kinda wrong in my opinion. It should have something unique.
It's really nice and I really really like the size. But a 100% re-edition is a bit disingenuous to those who own the original (not me - I wish). Wish they made it the same but with unique subdials or bezel. Something that says its a different watch.
But it is lovely. I will have to think about this because I was so excited about the size!
and this is not gonna change SpeedyTuesday owners one bit imo... not that I think it ever was going to.

·and details in bezel, dial, hands, casback as well show the difference to a collector. I think it is the right way to keep the tradition alive and get variations of it. Rolex showed over the years how successful this can be. What I really miss for the aesthetics of the 2915 is the silver crystal retension ring.

··Oooo subtitles!Agreed on the SpeedTuesday: it has the vintage references, hesalite crystal (Speedy 60th comes with sapphire), and just looks spectacular.
Not true, Speedmaster has Hesalite, other 2 have sapphire. It says so on Omega's own page for the models.

Wouldn't the original silver ring crystal work?

Agreed a great Basel 2017 for Omega, congrats to RA and his team!
Ben Clymer just posted on the Hodinkee live page:
"Gut reaction to latest? Omega kills it."
"Rolex, a pretty tame year. To be expected after the Daytona-hysteria of 2016?"

·I am absolutely floored with the Railmaster...wow!....I just wish it could've been a manual-wind movement, but at least they didn't ruin it with a glass caseback.
