I see, thanks. 2 weeks sounds quite okay.
My OB asks me if I'm ready for one every couple of months when they get one or are expecting one. Not until sometime in 2027 for me though.

Hello, that's a beautiful watch in all gold. May I ask - how long you waited to get 321 EW after you submitted your name & interest to the boutique? I bought mine second hand about 10 months old from the stamp, and it was in an indeed good condition.
In the Netherlands I'm able to order it in the webshop of an AD and can have it tomorrow or the day after, so no waitlist or any purchase history needed.

In Belgium I found another AD who has it in stock.

After this amount of time, and the price asked ($17,300 in the US), the market seems to have been served, and most OBs should be able to get a buyer one in relatively short order. If they give you the runaround just call around, they are out there. Fortunately the EW321 never became a hype watch like the Daytona, Royal Oak or Nautilus.

Is it Asia or Korea (where I am) that they say it could be months or even years, let alone the amount of purchase history..

Still a great watch, fortunately easier to get from an AD than before. I waited about a year and got mine in late 2022. Ordering it for listprice from the webshop was not an option back then.

You’re the first person I’ve seen call out the elongated hour markers. That might be what causes the visual difference with the 3861.

There are artificial rare (Snoopy) which boutiques received 1-2 piece pert month.

And there’s real rare due to limited productions like 321s.

My boutique received 1 piece every 3-4 months.

Thanks - I could not resist the charm and wait, so purchased a second hand in good quality with luck. This is a beautiful watch.

That is a smart move.

In Australia and Singapore, price for unworn examples on the grey market is lower than retail. Minus the wait and the hoops you have to jump through to get allocation.

And coming from a guy who owns more than 10 speedmasters, the steel 321 is all you need.

It is all you need.

Agreed with this. I have quite a few, and if I were force to have only ONE, it would be the 321, no question.

Thanks. Last Oct, I purchased a pre-owned one (about 10months old) n a very good condition (without lupe, was not able to see scratches) at about 75-80% of the then-retail. I checked it at Omega service center March this year for accuracy & WR test, but it failed on one thing. Regarding the 6 position test, although the average passed, the divergence test (max-min needs to fall within a certain seconds) failed, so it was shipped to Swiss and returned in about 1.5months. That's a beautiful piece. I own 3861 hesalite, 3861 sedna gold two tone and 321 EW, and each one of them has its own fun and beauty.
