·I would go for the modern one which has the screws rather than tubes and pins on the removable links. Current reference is STZ004194, but older 1958/957 is essentially the same band.
OMEGA Speedmaster Speedy Tuesday Limited Edition (Arrivals)

Great. Thanks for the info! Will look into it.
I'd imagine that being the modern one these are easily available at OB. Correct?

·I think 1171 will also look good
From what I can tell the 1958/957 has those polished "stripes" on the middle links, whereas the 1171 is all brushed, correct? I think that the 1171 would look good, but I suspect it would be harder to find. My undertanding is that it's an older bracelet not used in current models. Is that the case? Apologies for all the questions!

·I think that depends on one's definition of "over time". Most Speedys over 20 years old seem to be worth a bit more now then when originally purchased, and ones over 40 years old are worth many, many times more. In the 1-5 year timeframe, it's a guess on the 60th; chances are there will be opportunities to pick one up for less then MSRP, although there probably will not be a ton, and you may have to pick one up that is not BNIB. It seems like people have really been hoping for a smaller diameter like this, which has generated a lot of interest. The smaller size + still a manual wind means some who normally would not be interested in a Pro are now interested.
Well, as ever, buy it for enjoyment, not as an investment.
I'm not sure looking at how the old watches have done is a yardstick for how current ones will do. The early ones have gone up in value because of their scarcity, because they were the originals and because of their historical significance with the space race. I'm not sure any of that applies here.
Only a very, very small minority of watches even retain their value, let alone have their value increase. You're on a bit of a hiding to nothing hoping for a profit from a watch.
But does it matter? It's just a piece of jewellery. If you like it buy it and enjoy it, any retention of value is really just a bonus. It shouldn't inform your thinking.

·Hello guys,
I am a little confused here - I am also on the reservation list for the ST and I love it. Doesn't matter if I get it this summer or autumn, as long as I get it 😀
However, I am quite pleased with the neo-vintage Speedmaster 1957-2017. To my understanding, the triology (Railmaster, Seamster, Speedmaster) is limited.
But what if I am just interested in the Speedmaster? Is it available separately and is it also limited?
Thanks for you help here.
Cheerio,

·cool - thanks a lot!
Can one pre-order that Speedmaster limited re-edtion of the 1957 model online?
This might be sold out otherwise before, right? 😀
However, there seems to be another brandnew Speedy Moonwatch LE from the Apollo program.
Anyone got news on that one? Have just seen a picture of it yestersday, but can't find it now.
Thanks a bunch guys!

Omega has been Instragramming a lot of images of the existing Apollo LEs today, you sure the watch you've seen wasn't one of the earlier ones?

·I think 1171 will also look good
The 1171 will look great but apparently quality of the new ones that cab still be bought isn't the greatest. Best to try for a vintage one but it'll cost a pretty penny...
