New baby? Is that the leather strap they include or an after market? I love it!

Yes! Picked it up yesterday. No, the bracelet is an after market old croco.

So you scored a trilogy without buying THE Trilogy. Which one didn't get number matched - looks like the RM? UK delivery?
Yes, uk. The railmaster illuded me

OMG! You're my hero! 3 and 2 matching numbers?!? Wow!! We seriously all have to pool our IDs and series numbers, create a missing children network so we can assemble our own Trilogies without that God awful inscription on the dials!

Worth a try, but that will be a bit tough if the matching watch went to a buyer in the UAE or China who isn't a member of the forum.

But at least we'd know where we OF folks are

To be honest Mike, I do not care at all of the numbers printed on the back. I am happy that it is a limited edition, that's all.

Well, I'm a numerologist so I want ones that are meaningful to me! But anyone who can assemble the three models with matching serial numbers will one day have something more valuable than the official Trilogy set. Mark my words! If I'm wrong, I'll buy you a beer!

Jokes apart, when IWC released the limited series 8-day power series chronometer (250 platinum, 500 gold and 1000 steel) in 2000, people thought having the set of three with same numbers would matter. In the end, the last time I checked prices, the set traded at a discount to the 3 watches sold separately.

Been a back seat watcher ( pardon the pun )
Thought I would share...

Oh my. Heart racing. You are one very fortunate individual, TTM! Very cool photo! Are you planning to wear them or did you purchase as a long-term investment?

You're going to be proven wrong, sorry to say. More limited production, better packaging and accessories (including a wood box made from a tree planted in 1848 in Biel/Bienne, when and where Omega was founded).

I wouldn't expect any to gain massively in value, especially compared to cal 321 Speedmasters, but they're great modern versions and will bring enjoyment to collectors.

Does anybody know what Omega were charging for each watch back in 1957.

I couldn't find any info on the net. Just interested to see how inflation factors in to the 2017 prices

The Speedmaster was $195.99 new in 1957!
