·this PCA watch has the 2nd clock subdial versus the chrono,, so the comparable watch is $8.6k according to Omega's web site. So it's more like a 50% premium.

·Locked in for 1... now just gotta pay.
Looks like I need to buy a Porsche to match the watch. Maybe it should be the other way around but i'm a Omega fan more than a Porsche fan. Haha

·let the watch see the flipper....
Wonder what these will fetch. Personally for $13k I can this of better pieces. It might be 99 pieces made but its not for me.

··This Space for RentGuess I am confused by the pcatime description that indicates a time zone function (see below). I didn't realize that is how the 9300 shows the chrono (one dial vs 2 like an 321/ 861/ 1861). But that leaves me confused by the "time zone function".

··This Space for RentAh, ok -- thanks for the info.
I am new to this movement. It looked like a GMT subdial. Dang new-fangled movements! 😁

·I agree, I can’t imagine too many profiteers. The internet says there are over 100k PCA members, so 99 is about right for people like myself and BlackTalon who are 1) actually watch people and 2) into Omega and most importantly 3) willing to shell out for it within a few hours. My experience so far with the local club hasn’t uncovered many other WIS... these guys just really seem to be into the cars. 😀
Now need to buy a deployant and replace that buckle. Wish they had a deployant strap. Will need to make it work with factory one.

··Double D @ ΩFHands down, this is by far the nicest Grey Side made....
4 Billion year old dial... beats PCA stamped on the back for me.

··This Space for RentHey now, you get the LE number embossed on the dial a la Trilogy as well 😁
I think the Chopard was a bit more unique for the $. I would have preferred this Speedy to have had a painted/ enameled SS back instead of the sapphire, or something else not so 'off the shelf' to set it off from the base watch a little more. But I figure it is a 5+ year wait until the next one for PCA, and who knows if it would have any appeal to me.

Is there a picture of the buckle somewhere? I know the specs just say “buckle” and not deployant, but aren’t all the xSOMs deployants? Guess I’m just trying to hold out a slice of hope...

··This Space for Rentthe first generation was buckle. This specifically says buckle. I have already floated the question to PCA if it is possible, given the price point, to get them made with deployants instead. They indicated they would ask, so we'll see.

··This Space for RentI admittedly had to laugh that shipping is not included in the price. I would understand if it were international, but these will basically all be sent within the US.
Well I opted for the ceramic brakes delete, stereo and A/C deletes, added the factory-installed titanium roll bar and picked the 'paint to sample' option, so this baby will be able to see some action right from the start 😎

I agree but I assume they would have to get the strap design changed for the deployant as not to contain the hole for the buckle. It would be great if they did that.
The shipping was a laugh at the price they are charging! ;-) Can't wait to get mine.

··This Space for RentRight -- the strap would need to be redesigned. If they do not, that means spending a bit more $ to get one made, and since the strap is really a part of the overall watch aesthetic, chances are the overall look will change a bit. Let's face it, the strap is a significant visual component of this watch, as there isn't much they are doing other then adding some yellow here and there.

·Can't understand why they preferred to use the GSOTM as the base model to develop this LE, rather than the new Speedy MC Racing below:
This new Speedy racing has METAS certification, improved legibility, design reference to the original Speedy Pro racing models, and of course was born a "racer". Perhaps the new Speedy Racing was "too cheap" for the PSA crowd? Perhaps a Veblen effect kicked in and they needed something closer to Daytona pricing to generate interest?
Don't get me wrong...I think the GSOTM standard and meteorite versions are gorgeous, but for a racing watch within the Omega range, I would much prefer the new Speedy Racing.

·It took me way too long to realize what they had done... I absolutely thought they had based it on the speedmaster racing! I was like, "oh cool, a ceramic speedy racing!"
I don't know how much pricing has to do with it, but perhaps the problem is that the look they wanted was simply too close to the actual Speedy Racing, so they decided to go off a different base? Ultimately, I'm glad they went ceramic... no reason in particular, but I just think it's going to a very cool edition in the end. Even if it's a derivative of a derivative of a "moonwatch", it's still a "speedmaster", and perfectly car-appropriate, IMO.

The grey ceramic case of the OMEGA Speedmaster "Porsche Club of America" Limited Edition has been used to advantage for this special edition; it is no accident that it looks remarkably like high-performance brakes of sports cars, where the brake disks are made of grey ceramic and the visible calipers are yellow, a color scheme generously echoed on this limited edition.
