You got a good point. If this reached Daytona ceramic prices, it will indeed make a few peope flip for the grail watch. Going to exciting in the next couple weeks
That would be insane. I don't think the ST will reach Daytona prices. Mostly because I think Daytona C prices right now are just outrageous. I think a white Daytona C is listed for 15-18k. That's just stupid. Especially since you can just wait for it at some point.
I was just saying if someone had a Daytona C and wanted to trade...i would have to do it I think...
That's quite the risk though if this is all hype!
Part of me thinks I should feel bad for all the people suffering angst and stress over if/when their ST will be shipped and arrive. Then, I remind my west coast residing self that I missed the boat and am stuck on the waiting list...
Yeah, I am okay with all you lucky SOBs suffering a little while longer 😉
I have been on the other side twice paying heavily over RRP for the Silver Snoopy, paying £8.5k for the first and £9k for the second - both now gone. I somehow think the Ed White would be more attractive to buyers than the ST.
Part of the problem here is that no one was required to make a commitment, so people including myself signed up for one taken in by the hype and discussion after the initial e-mails were received from Omega. For those with extensive collections and deep pockets it is a no brainer, but for others the cost of the ST has to be balanced against other purchases and where it sits in the pecking order.
I have recently bought a 105.003-64 Ed White and the new Speedmaster Co-axial Moonphase and in all honesty when the ST arrives I cannot afford to keep all three so something will have to go. Presently my thoughts are that the ST is the most likely to face the axe.
That you Ken? 2 Snoopies and a ST. You are developing serial flippertis!
It is indeed and the flipping must come to a stop. I sold about ten £300 to £500 watches to raise the funds for the ST when the Ed White came along. I will wait until the ST arrives and have a long hard look at all three and decide which, if any, has to go.
N NW90Hi - I'm new to posting on the forum but I've been tracking it for sometime as I have a reservation myself (mid double digits).
I've been contacted by Omega and my Boutique in the UK, and I've been informed that mine is already on way. I hope to have it in the next few days/sometime next week (fingers crossed).
I love the watch and can't wait to see it in person, however I'm open to bids (as many seem to be on this forum). If you're interested then please contact me direct.
All the best,
N

P petay993I have a feeling that the flipping activity on this piece is going to be off the scale. What this will do to values will be interesting to track.
Althought the delivery channel was ostensibly directed towards those who are Speedmaster fans and social media savvy (not necessarily in that order!) it will almost certainly have been exploited by a significant number of individuals who scent a simple and relatively painless way of achieving a quick potential 100% profit. The Rolex SS Sports model range currently plastered all over Ebay UK at varying levels of pricing optimism is symptomatic of this current hunger to make a quick buck amongst those who may not ordinarily have much interest in wrist watches.
The failure to request a reservation deposit by Omega may prove telling over the next few weeks.

I agree about the flipping of the watch, although I think alot of people who had every intention of keep ing the watch are having their heads turned by the numbers quoted.
Personally, I was very close to ordering the orignal moonwatch to complete my collection, when the ST came up. I am now in a position where, if the numbers are right, I could flip the ST and purchase the moonwatch for free! A very tricky decision.
