Yes, the model can be found on C24, but with a markup. The main target audience (ie, Speedy collectors) is likely already on the allocation list. I will also guess that most of this (our) crowd is not necessarily the one that is also interested in PP, Lange or VC (due to taste and/or budget reasons)... so it will not pay above retail.

 

You're correct, I was referring to the normal discount price when you actually buy as these are all asking price. The US list price is $34K but most will pay tax on top so it ends up being closer to $38K. Seller on the forums is asking $41K so fairly close to this price.

 

I would call myself a pretty big Speedy and Omega collector(up to 20 Omega's now, half are speedy's) or so right now but to me once the price point exceeds $20K you have to start considering the big brands as you step into another level. I know some of those VIP Omega's on that list and I can tell you they are definitely comparing the higher end Omega pieces to the brands you mention.

 

Thank you for sharing your point of view and experience, really appreciate it.

I can totally understand what you describe and it makes complete sense to me. When I think of these other brands, I see models that are in the mid/high 5 digits to 6 digit price levels, so this is why I was not necessarily thinking that there is a truly direct competition. I guess I am too biased towards Omega and the Speedy models to be objective... so as always, my opinion is only worth just a mere $0.02.

 

Cmon at least $0.03

 

No worries. I appreciate different views as well and it is definitely worth more than a few cents! I was biased towards Omega for many years until I got to the point that I could afford something more so started looking what else was out there. Found Patek and then Lange. Omega is awesome at what they do at the market they play in. When you start to compare their high end, you start opening your choices to others which are more hand made, better finishing etc. if you ever have time. Drop by a store that carries Lange and just take a look at their watches and you will be amazed!

 

We are absolutely on the same page!!
My grail is a Lange Pt Dato... on bracelet, but on my way there, I will want to add a FP Journe as well.

 

Unboxing (and a shot with his little brother)...

 

Absolutely stunning, congrats!

 

Beautiful. Many congratulations!

 

Amazing! Congratulations and enjoy!

 

Went on a pilgrimage today!

(They) came in peace for all mankind...

 

I didn't know Buzz was from my neck of the woods! I'm a Jersey boy, born and bred. And I'm in Montclair often. Great restaurants.

 

Beautiful watch, enjoy.

 

Crappy pic but received mine today. Nicer than I expected. I’ve been after an all gold speedy for some time & this fits my need & then some.

 

Guys, as initiated by @Japanred for the SS model, why don't we create a directory for the Moonshine Gold model??
