Yes my feeling is that they will do at least one more exactly like the Speedy Tuesday (the process not the watch), with on-line reservation. Other than the delays and the issues of availability in the USA, the procedure could be seen as a great success. Perhaps to minimise this next time they will release it later in the day, 3pm CET for instance but then I guess buyers in Asia would suffer so maybe not an ideal solution.

Naaa we’ll get in line in alphabetical order. 😀

Apollo 7 or Apollo 8 50th Anniversary LE?

Otherwise I'm not sure what true milestones 2018 brings for the Speedmaster, but I think Omega is a bit hooked on the media frenzy around LE Speedmasters at this point, and will be releasing them on a yearly basis now. Not sure whether that's necessarily a bad thing, as I think their creativity with the watch is increasing with each new LE - but people may get fatigued after so many.

60th Anniversary Ranchero LE

Of course we could have read this earlier in the Speedy Tuesday arrival thread 😗

Can I buy myself a spot in the front row? When will the front row spot on EBay?
😁

I understand that the next web reservation limited edition will take 2 years from order to delivery 😗
