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

 

Yes, uk. The railmaster illuded me

 

I did the same thing. Still waiting for my speedy though.

 

It looks great on there!

 

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!

 

I might be dead by then!

 

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.

 

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?

 

Thxs, I would like to think not only will I get the enjoyment..... no one likes losing money

 

Oh f@ck. Below retail now:

He's arbitraging tax / currency exchanges, so I wouldn't be too alarmed. Still, I do expect these to trade below retail for a year or two, maybe more, but will then begin to appreciate again.

 

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!

 

I'll buy you that beer then. Have to wait and see!
