·So if we know, will the new 321 movements be assembled from existing NOS parts?

·Everyone is excited with the re-release of the 321 but what does it mean for vintage Speedmasters with this movement? Will their price tank?
If a serious collector, has a collection of vintage Omega Speedmasters, and he has a space for a missing 321 reference, such as an Ed White or a 105.012. He's not going to fill it up with a brand new 2019 Limited Edition that looks a bit like it. He's going to want a real one with all the history and charm of a 50+ year old watch.

··Vintage Omega AficionadoIMO the release of a new cal. 321 speedmaster would be the best marketing campaign for vintage cal. 321 speedmasters.

Not doubting you, but curious how you arrived at that. Because new Speedmaster collectors who have deep pockets, and can afford a new one will learn about this movement, and want to own a vintage iteration? Or again, the new collector will find out about it, can't afford it in its present incarnation, and .go searching vintage because it's more affordable? I have a few cal 321's, can't afford the new one most assuredly, and thus the new one only interests me in as much as the availability, and interchangeability of parts. Thus, i don't actually see how this would affect vintage collectors much other than that, or if it's in one's budget.

I only got interested on the vintage Mark II thanks to the re-release.
Basically the marketing of the new re-release should help raise awareness and the desirability about the 'real stuff' released long time a ago.

·What is the verdict after 2+ years?
Also if there are 321 collectors out there, how did you feel then, how do you feel now?

An interesting question. One confounding factor is that because of the pandemic, there may have been less supply than originally anticipated. In my case, for instance, I couldn’t get it, and directed my interests elsewhere.
I thought it might dent to vintage market, but there may not have been enough product to do that. Regardless, the whole thing (vintage and modern) seems to have lost some steam, for a variety of reasons, mostly Covid related.
