    I like it and think they should have done it already, but one could build this today with parts from an FOIS and a 3594.50. I have to think Omega will do something a bit more unique with it, somehow. I know faux patina is frowned upon by some, but I happen to think the Seamaster 300 reissue is awesome, and I'd like to see at least a slight shade of yellow on the dial and hand lume on this. The white SuperLuminova just looks cold IMO

    +1 on the faux patina, it would help further distinguish it from the FOIS. Also this watch needs the old AML.

    Of course, I missed that! I'd bet it will have one though, seeing as they've reintroduced it on the Speedy Tuesday.

    Would buy this in a heartbeat. Not crazy about the 1957-2017 text under the speedmaster script though. And agree, old AML and faux patina would be nice

    Gorgeous watch. Would be even better if they included some faux patina. I would have to have one of these, patina or no.

    Yep, something like that in the FOIS case with an 1861 (or ideally a new-issue 321 or variant) would be ideal

    Well the trilogy box set looks nice for 20 k :)....Although worth the buy for LE 60th anniversary speedy for 6700 USD ??
