on a SM300, i was quoted a VAT free price with free shipping to the US of £4460 which today is ~$5750, so $2k cheaper than what it would cost in the US after tax. Sterling was weaker relative to the dollar when I inquired in March. The USD price back then from a UK dealer would have been ~$5400.
Wow - that is significantly cheaper!! How can they do that?
It's arrived!! Number 357 (has a nice ring to it). I have to say, first time seeing it in the flesh and I'm blown away.
Auspicious number! May I ask where you are located?

B blokkThought it was going to be the first speedmaster 1957 on this forum! Until I saw the pics loaded.

So, the SM that I decided not to buy in Hamburg has just been sold. Best wishes...whoever you are!
👍
Are we starting to see any kind of number vs location pattern yet? For the SM I have seen 200s in Hamburg, 300s in the U.K. And for the Railmaster low 1000s in Hamburg.
I have a theory that Omega has deliberately spread the non-Trilogy LE numbers around the globe to avoid folks building full sets of matching numbers.
Great looking watch. How does it feel thickness wise?
Have to say that, although it has huge presence on the wrist, it wears incredibly well. I've got the NATO strap on so it sits a fraction higher than normal (the bracelet was a #$&£¥ to take off). All the elements of the watch seem to work in a way that makes it appear larger than it actually is.
