Apparently when I was talking to my OB as I was picking up the A11 50th, I was told that they are not going with the Snoopy theme this time around...... Curious to see what they're coming up with instead... Also, sidebar, the 321 is supposedly coming out with a SS version in 2020....If so, that's the next purchase if there's enough to allocate for the year...

him "why is it so expensive for a just a copy?"
me: "......"
him slowly realising he just doesn't get it and backing away "well good on you for wearing it"
Some might say he does actually 'get it'. As an owner of a handful of Speedmasters I still agree with many of his comments. While an original would be astronomically priced, these are priced liked limited edition glycees, vs unlimited poster reprints.
For anyone that owns (and wears one). What’s the bracelet like in terms of adjustment. I know there is no glide system here, but how many holes are there in the clasp? Is it easy to get a good fit and a range of adjustment if the weather heats up?
I’d have liked some kind of adjustment system at this price, but I guess it would have made the clasp more bulky than the bracelet would take.
Great analogy!
Think you mean giclee prints.
For the those who don’t know: a giclee print is a high quality print of original artwork done on archival fine art paper. There are very high standards associated with this process and the resulting “copy” will remain colour fast and last the best part of 75 years, even if you leave it exposed to sunlight.
Whereas as a poster print is little more than an up-spec photocopy
Still waiting on my phone call from Tyson's. Who is your salesperson? I work with Lara! 😀
Was told that the price would be in line with the Daytona, so not TOO bad if true.....
Picked mine up yesterday. Houston area. Interesting that the display box isn’t ready yet. Omega is releasing in their regular boxes for now
Platinum Daytona price????[/QUOT

Retail price of a steel Daytona is $12,400 and they make way more than 2,000 units a year (the projected 321 production limit). The street price for a new Daytona is about double that, about $25,000 +/-. The Speedmaster is not as iconic as a Daytona and has a manual movement which isn't as popular as the Daytona's automatic. But say a steel 321 Speedmaster is really well styled and is a viable choice to the Daytona, I can see the street price approaching $20,000 on the grey market, easily. We'll just have to wait and see what happens but I suspect a lot of frustration from folks who can't seem to score one from an OB or AD at the retail price, "Sorry, just not available except to good customers who have bought a lot from us in the past", the standard line from Rolex dealers. Possibly expect the same from Omega.
