Wow, that is scary stuff, especially downtown London. Did this take place at night or in broad daylight. Also, do you think they targeted the watch specifically or does the ST happen to be an unfortunate collateral victim?
In any case, super glad you are ok!

Wow, that's absolutely nuts.

I wonder if Omega maintains a list of stolen watches like Rolex and Patek do? That way they're confiscated and investigated if they ever pop up in their network (for service, etc).

Thank you.

It happened around 10.30/11.00pm, I was making my way to the Underground. There were other people on the street - the offender clearly didn't care who was watching. I don't think he knew it was of value, I think he took a chance and got lucky it was an Omega.

That's interesting - I did not know that Rolex & Patek kept records & confiscated stolen watches.

Do they return them to the last known keeper or destroy them?

Cheers

I am on page 30 of 217 of this thread and thoroughly enjoying the read. I totally missed out on the ST frenzy last year, having not been a 'speedmaster guy', and probably still would not be had it not been for this watch. The speedy pro has always just been a meh watch to me I am sorry to say. I have tried to like it over the years, but with it's simple and plain printed dial, hand winded old movement, hesalite or cloudy ringed sapphire crystal, I just struggled to buy in.

The ST corrects most of that. The white sub dials are mesmerizing, and the lume is freakishly cool and unique. The applied omega logo pops, and almost looks a contrasting gold to me at times. The brushed case just flows beautifully with the rest of the watch, and with the included nato is almost orgasmic. Classy and unique in every way.

Finally now owning this LE speedy, I do now get the allure of the hesalte window, with the 3D effects and classic look it gives, the 'rinse and repeat' treatment of the screen, not to mention the daily winding ritual which allows you to become one with the watch.

I got a great deal on it, buying it at MSRP from an original purchaser, in an 'off shelf' condition, and I couldn't be happier. I feel like I am very late to the party with the speedy tuesday, but if I had come sooner (but still later than launch), I would have overpaid. I know me.

Cheers to all owners of this watch. I wonder how original purchasers still feel today - a year plus into ownership of the watch??

I "overpaid", a few months after release. I love the watch and can't see any good reason to move it one. It gets worn a few days per month. The interest has certainly not worn off. Not very many appearing on the secondary market after the first flush of flippers.

Congrats on your new2you minty ST 👍 The ST(1) is a great SMP variant with a very special connection to both the Space program as well as the "moonwatch" community. I'm even willing to bet it will eventually bring you to purchasing a classic moonwatch, once you've spent more time with your ST and more time with the historical significance it and all moonwatches represent. I hope you will enjoy yours as much as I enjoy my Speedmasters ::psy::

Couldn't be happier. Original owner here and one of the last few dozen to take delivery (reserved Jan 10 2017, delivered Jan 12, 2018). I paired mine with a 1171/633 bracelet/endlink combo and between that and just about any other strap you throw at it (NATO, leather, nylon), the STLE looks amazing. I love the history behind it (Moonwatch pedigree, tribute to Alaska Project, first Omega offered online, etc.) and the overall design (matte finish, reverse panda) but it's subtle characteristics of the watch (radial dial, applied logo, hesalite, the LUME) that really set this one apart and make you remember that you've got something special. Wear it in good health!

Why do we have soooo many ST Threads?!? Could we please summarize ? OF- please help me …!

upload_2019-1-2_18-24-57.png


Already 3 are at the Sticky Threads … and much more underneath … we got spammed by ST 😁

Answer: No, we want it that way. Each thread is specialized ( at least as much as any thread is specialized around here 🙄).
Creating a giant mega thread with multiple focus areas would make it very cumbersome and difficult to utilize.
Giant threads only work well with single purpose threads like the WRUW.

Remember too, up coming will be the future ST #3 & #4 threads 😁.

For all the positives of my new ST, I will say that there is one blaring negative. Something that has certainly been said before, but is so true. Legibility. Holy Moly it sure can be hard to read the time sometimes. This morning I woke, looked at my watch and thought it was hours later than it was. I realized while drinking my coffee and glancing at the kitchen clock that I had misread the time, and wished I had stayed in bed for the lazy sunday mornings that I so enjoy.

One does learn how to tilt the watch just right to see the time in most situations but with morning groggy eyes, or in dark lighting, it is pretty much impossible to read the time with the ST1. This would absolutely be a deal breaker for me with any other watch, but there are just too many aspects with this watch that could never be replaced with another, so i am just going to learn to live with it...............

Readability is overrated... 😁

New owner here as well… long after initial frenziness…
Now need to find the perfect strap! Looking at cordura as they seem to complement the watch perfectly
