··Omega Qualified WatchmakerI just want to say, as i've been viciously trolled by some members on this forum which i've come to greatly value over my years as an Omega collector to which I have many as well as Rolex. Just because I buy some watches to sell, gives you NO right to seek me out to abuse and attempt to humiliate me. I do not have to justify myself to any of you if I decide to sell something and if I comment on what I think about a watch..that's also my right to do so. I have been accused of being a 'PIMP' on this forum. Having commented on everything to 'PUMP UP' my sales and having a 'USUAL STRATEGY'. Some of you need to understand the only reason others get first in line on these pieces is because we work hard with ADs to build strong relationships buying lots of watches..some I keep, some I sell. That's it. I've already had two people post abuse about me on my own sales thread for this watch which I think is disgusting (all saved and screenshotted then reported)
So I will say lastly, this forum should be a free FORUM where members can post, comment, sell without being witch hunted by others or send abuse.
Apologies for going off topic and please enjoy this great historical piece.

·I would be surprise if either of them go below msrp, specially in December.
Way too high volume and 321 in fall means there is no way this stays hot. Lovely piece but the hype won’t last forever.

·Thank you
Stiffer is my immediate thought when I first wound it.
The typical 40 full turns. It feels meatier if that makes sense.
I’ll wind it again tomorrow and see how it feels.
Nice to have the seconds hack feature / stop seconds.
Thanks for your reply. Would be interested in hearing more on this when you wind it again. I find it difficult to wind too which is why I asked in the first place.

Much stiffer than the normal pro or other variants with 1861.
Seems the teeth are louder too. Doesn't bother me much, but yes, stiffer, louder winding mechanism.

Thanks for confirming I’m not alone.

·Thank you
You’re right. The flat link bracelet just falls away from the watch. It’s hard to photograph but the links fall straight down which I think gives it slightly slimmer look.
This top down photo and the side photo should show that.
Moonwatch photo included on leather so you see what I mean.
Beautiful piece, congrats! I can’t wait to get mine.
Any wrist shots of it on the cork strap?

··schizophrenic pizza orderer and watch collectorThats fine and I respect your opinion but I am not a millionaire and the only way I can afford pieces that I want to keep and hand down is to flip others to make a profit From fellow forum members to offset, that is really it. If some people have an issue with that, that's fine too but I don't believe you should be abused for it One stated 'buy the seller' which I see as a defamation on my part and if you check my sales threads I have nearly 10 sales all with happy customers.
FIFY
That’s the bit your missing now. Your spruiking about the only way you can afford nice watches is selling snapped up LEs at profit to fellow members.
Sorry I haven’t said much on this but, shitting in your own back yard is going to bring you flack.
Do what you do but learn a bit of diplomacy for god sake man
Pump all you want here, just dump somewhere else.

··Senior Snoopy OwnerThanks for confirming I’m not alone.
Yep,
same with the goldie 50th 3861 movement … really different to the older ones,
maybe because the watch is new, but i think it is related to the movement.

Yes, it will probably loosen up with time. However, 60th Anniversary Speedy, “original” Speedy Tuesday and Ultraman (all with 1861 I believe) were all so easy to wind from new, even when on the wrist. Can’t expect the same behaviour from different movements I guess. Was just interested in what other owners thought, that’s all.
