How long does it need to be charged to stay on all night?!

Back to bracelets what are people thinking of ordering alongside the ST?
I know I'm not normal on this (!) but I really don't like metal bracelets and think all Speedies (except perhaps the more 'blingy' ones) look better on a leather strap, and there's such a great range of choice of these today from good retailers like Watch Obsession; for example, as on my Moonwatch and 'Japan' Racing:

Which is why I purchased a JPM vintage leather strap to go with my ST, just also looking to add a bracelet for when I'm at the office or more formal.

It is with great pride that we introduce you to the Omega Speedmaster Professional Speedy Tuesday limited edition to commemorate the 5th anniversary of Speedy Tuesday. Limited to 2012 pieces, referring to the year when it all started. For the very first time, Omega is offering this watch only via their own website. What better […]

The post OMEGA Speedmaster Speedy Tuesday Limited Edition appeared first on Fratello Watches.

Has anyone had anymore e mails from Omega about the ST? The last one I got was in January telling me it won't be long and I would be getting another update soon......
I got one more e-mail just telling me a little about the Alaska project but that's it. Are we still looking at July/Aug time? Unless anyone else has had some news.

Exactly the same with me.

It is a lovely design. I wonder if they came out of the box too strongly, as I don't know how they are going to top it for the 10th and 20th anniversaries. Maybe Fratello will get the jitters like a band does when they have to top a very successful first album.

This design is hard to top in every way! Also for e.g. the 60. anniversary of the Apollo 11... 😉

Spoke with the Bond St OB today regarding another matter and thought I would ask the question regarding timescales. They would not even commit to any date and said they had no idea themselves, when I tried to push even for a potential month they still said no idea!!

Just to play devil's advocate - it strikes me as being a bit odd that some are having a pop at @nima0071 for wanting to buy two of the same limited edition model - when we are a forum that has countless members who have multiple examples of the same vintage pieces. And those members are congratulated for their collections. I suppose it is slightly different in that locating and picking up good vintage pieces requires more dedication and skill than making two online reservations.

Vintage pieces too are limited in quantity and in high demand - so those that have more than one of a particular model are restricting supply and pushing the price up for others.

I don't really see any real issue with either to be honest (though if the small-print does say on ST LE per person then the rules are being broken). We are a community of watch collectors and hoarders. I have more pairs of cuff links commemorating the coronations and jubilees of British monarchs than any man would need, including (at times) having more than one of the same pair.

Not looking to ruffle any feathers with this post - just an observation and there may be something that I have not picked up on. I am relatively new to the game compared to many on here.
This is true - it seems more immoral for someone to hoard two and to keep one in a safe never to see the light of day rather than to sell one to another enthusiast to be worn and enjoyed at a price that they are prepared to pay
