Congratulations! Could you please ask them if they have received any speedmaster and when they expect to receive them?

Just got a call from the OB in St. Louis, saying that the 60th Anniversary watches are in the US, and that they think the Speedmaster 60th I ordered could be in their hands by as early as this weekend. Of course I have to go out of town this weekend...but it sounds like an optimistic timeline to me anyways. Interesting that we all get differing Intel... It's progress though!
so i am just curious. . .at 20k CHF you could buy a decent original railmaster or seamaster rather than this re-issue. curious if anyone actually thought about the comparison ?
I got an email from my OB this morning (5th Ave, NYC) for my Speedmaster. The watch is in their hands and I will be getting it within the next 2 days as I am away for work. But yeah, they are here for sure! I am so excited as this is my fiances gift to me for my wedding. 😀

Yes I did, and I believe many did. While my rationale may prove a bit too simplistic for many, 5-10 years ago vintage was trading at attractive prices vs. new. Now, I believe this is no longer the case for many brands. Not only prices for vintage have gone through the roof (with 20k CHF you could buy a nice 2915 10 years ago, and now you can only get a decent rail or seamaster, but people seem to have totally forgotten that parts will be tougher and tougher to get and service more and more expensive. So, all in, I prefer a new "vintage-like" that is going to work perfectly well over the next 20 years.
Awesome, someone with a standard and 60th. Could you please tell us if the bezel diameter is identical? Does it wear bigger, smaller or the same?
Well, I picked it up, came home, and put it away because I have to travel this weekend : (
My initial impression is that the watch feels a bit longer and is a little heavier, but wears very similarly. Once I get to wear it more, I'll have a better answer...
