What are people's thoughts on omega producing regular production/non limited panda dial speedys?
I feel like that would change everything!
I'm happy for all those that have received or are going to receive their watch, but I feel a pang of sadness mixed with jealousy and regret ever time I see one of these... I really wanted one, but missed out on the initial announcement 👎
Apologies if this has popped up over the course of this thread already, but 118 pages... I mean... come on! I can't read everything 😜:
What do you think the odds are that we'll eventually see ST service dials for sale on eBay as we have seen with the Mitsukoshi dials and some of the other panda LE's?
A mitsukoshi dial and hands set goes for a silly amount of money on eBay. I shudder to think what a dial and hands ST set would fetch on the open market...
J jpizzzleI think RJB already addressed on FB (if I'm remembering correctly) that the mitsukoshi was a unique situation and we shouldn't expect dials of the ST to be sold separately.

I remember feeling the same when the Snoopy was released but the good thing about Omega is that they quickly bring something else out to help you get over it. Would I be happy to have a Snoopy, yes but I don't miss not having one and if I had missed out on the speedytuesday then I am sure something else would have got me over it, probably the railmaster.
To answer a few questions:
The strap is good quality yes, though not perfect imo. A more distressed look would have suited me. I've ordered the Snoopy strap
Yes, it looks bigger. I've been discussing that on another forum and the combination of all-brushed surfaces (on the original the polished surfaces "disappear" a bit) plus the panda highlights the fact that the subdials are close together. Together these do give an illusion that it's bigger but it "wears" the same
The watch roll is really excellent quality. I'd totally use it if going on a trip - the Hippocampus emboss on the flap is a nice touch
As someone with a smaller wrist I am a little worried about this as it does look larger than expected on alot of the wristshots I've seen. Having said that my Soyuz wore fine and it hopefully shouldn't be too different.
R ramilgHi All,
Got the call this morning!! But, unfortunately, due to personal circumstances I will not be purchasing my watch anymore (number 87 - posted a week ago about pick up being soon in Bond Street). I am extremely disappointed that it has turned out this way, especially now with all the live photos! 🙁
I hope that whoever ends up with it will love it like I would have...
I look forward to seeing my photos!
Maybe the next one for me... 😁

Why dont you go with another londoner who missed out and pick it up for him. Otherwise a fan will have to get it at ridiculous prices. I am sure there are people looking for it
No, another fan on the waiting list will get it at list price. He's doing the decent thing passing on it, rather than flipping it.
[cynic] Either that, or he's selling it to one of the many PMs he's got following that post [/cynic]
