Can you get past the first 1 min of any clip you find, let alone watch the whole series?

(i.e. the original, i am certain the 2019 one will be much better)
You're right, I tried the 1st one I found on youtube a couple of hours ago and it was dubbed into Spanish so I gave up after about a minute. Will try again though.

I was wondering what this was going to look like on vintage steel. I like!

Crude photoshop for funsy. 😁

Very nice picture. Mines will go on an 1175 bracelet, the same as my LE number.

I'm buying, but , look how much better without the blob.

If we're going to be nitpicky I could have done without the red dot indices. But I'll get over it.

Not particularly impressed. First edition was more interesting and attractive, IMO.

Its the same with Rolexes and never ceases to amaze me... splash a bit of colour on it and its an "amazing new" thing that people will line up and pay a huge premium for.

I'm mean, really?!

its just another Speedmaster. Get over it.

Does anyone have the number 222 on here, will happily swap with mine if you have a random number given, tried to get it but it was gone.

Must be 100% unworn with stickers in place (if poss).

I had 2002 but the system wouldn't let me complete the transaction. Good luck trying to find that needle in a haystack!

Well, if we’re picking nits it could have been 38 mm, had 2 subdials, a big date at 6, and not had Speedmaster on the dial.

It is a needle but someone actually offered me 222 of the first CK2998, you would be surprised what you get sometimes if you ask 😀

According to Hodinkee Omega have confirmed all sold out in 1hr 53mins - that must have given the last person that reserved the full hour to confirm via the email confirmation.

Sure, this may have sold out quicker but remember - this wasn't a surprise like the last one was. The release time leaked, and Omega themselves put up teaser imagery a few hours beforehand.

As for the waitlist, if this goes anything like the first time, a bunch of timed-out reservations will likely open up 24 hours after the initial run, so it's worth trying again later tonight

The email reservation was only an hour this time - so all those dead reservations should have come back into circulation now.

What is the significance of the first 3 minutes being orange?

Ultraman only had his special powers for 3 mins
