I was in the Omega Boutique last weekend trying on some pieces for size as I'm looking to pick up the CK2998 and wanted to try on a 39.7mm piece. While there, I probed for some Baselworld info and couldn't get much out of the rep.

After leaving the store and receiving a follow up email from the rep based on some questions I had asked, he stated that be on the look out for a Speedmaster LE this year at Baselworld. Which is obvious, but he also said I would be very interested if I'm into Chinese endangered species. So if his hint is accurate, that means we getting a Panda dial Speedy this year.

Take it with a grain of salt but I just wanted to share.

 

just the right Speedmaster model @ulackfocus has been waiting for....

 

Does Baselworld cover vintage now too

 

looking forward to this, there should be a picture counting down to when it opens...

 

Would make sense, wasn't this in that Baselworld list that was posted about a month ago, think it mentioned a 2998 case Panda.

 

A Limited Edition Speedmaster? Wow, who would have guessed?

 

Oops wrong section on the forum. Was trigger happy after my last post. Sorry about that. I'm so bad at forums lol.

 

If there is a panda speedy LE this year I might just give up my hunt for an ‘85 145.022 and get that instead!

 

Surely a reverse panda Speedy Tuesday!
I’ll bet my Alaska Project for a regular Speedy Tuesday!
