Anyone seen anything on the dimensions of this case? Assuming the standard 42mm?

 

Yep, standard Pro case at 42mm diameter.

 

I dunno...the more I stare at this, the more it's growing on me...

 

I just finished the write-up on this one, in gold that is...

Awesome thanks! Look forward to reading the review of the steel model!

But assuming the blue hue is the same...think I'm going for it...

 

Thanks and a pity that you did not post about the steel version as well

Regards,
Alexander

 

It sure is pretty... out of my reach at the minute for the gold one. Looking forward to reading about the SS one though.

It looks about a hundred times better on your pictures than it does on the renders and scant available (flash) shots from the Baselworld booth.

The gold one is outside my reach, but my interest in the steel one has been growing. Any chance you guys tool some decent photos of that one, too?

 

Okay, I did it
Order has been made and deposit paid. Delivery should be July.

Alexander

 

Congrats!

BTW Jocke has posted an excellent Basel 2017 report:

He took one of the better pictures of the SS version.

 

Thanks for the link and the picture. Man, the steel one looks a helluva lot better, too. The blue looks deliciously dark, and I don't mind a touch of gold on the dial. Combines well with my wedding band

I'm seriously tempted...

 

Hi Alex, not the only one... i was told delivery September.

 

Your pic put me over the edge...on the list myself.

 

I will request a commission from Omega

 

Thanks a lot for the link and the picture
Looking forward to see how the steel version looks in real.

Alexander

 

Oh ! I guess Omega needs to focus on the Trilogy-Set first and the Speedmaster 17 will come later. Still no news on the Omega Webpage about the new Speedmaster 17, so let's see.

not sure about the Greek side of the moon on the dial but aside from Apollo staring at something it is a good looking watch

 

Although 'the Gene Cernan' would be a more obvious choice for a nickname, I gotta say I like your suggestion for the 'the Greek Side of the Moon' a lot

 

Which app is that?
