Indeed, I guess OF might have broken the record for the number of people simultaneously online here 👎

Not fully sure about it. I think I like it but I've grown boring and these days have trouble paying these prices for something that doesn't at least have a ceramic bezel (assuming I'll wear it often).

Thanks for the support and nice comments. It was quite a blast today.
Are all of the watches pretty much ready to get shipped to the ADs?

I know it said we’d hear in August...

You had me at paying these high prices....

I am a fanboy of the Speedmaster, and Omega watches in general. I will continue to be so, but I simply cannot keep up with the elevation in pricing. Not just the new Omega watches, it is the used Omega watches as well. I guess I am feeling fortunate that I was able to buy in early, but whether used or new I am afraid I am now out of the watch buying game (but I will buy the gold speedy bracelet for my skeleton speedy from the OB).

I remember when $2,900 for a used Gemini 4 was something I had to think about. My thought was damn that it too much money, but the watch is so very nice, I have to have it!

My only complaint is that for $7100 it should come with a steel bracelet.

I understand why they haven’t done that, it makes a change, looks nice with rubber and leather tbh

Yes me too. It is because a nylon NATO costs pennies to make and a steel bracelet a few tens of bucks maybe.

Congrats to @Robert-Jan and the entire FW Team on another excellent SpeedyTuesday project with Omega! 👍
Devil's-in-the-details and the SpeedyTuesday II's full of wonderful details 🥰

Congratulations as well to all that made the cut this time around 😀

Had mine reserved, page hung, couldn't complete the order. Took a deep breath, opened a new browser window, and was able to reserve the exact same number. I think I might like the original ST slightly more, but this one actually has the cooler details: in addition to the beveled subdials, AML, old school logo, and loopy Speedmaster font, this one also has a stepped dial (!) and DON bezel( !!). I've been toying with buying a "racing" Speedmaster of some flavor, but I think this one will scratch that itch very nicely. Well done, Robert-Jan!

Anyone have any idea when the new st is able to be picked up?

It did say Summer 2018. I have heard July and August, since they probably wanted to avoid what happened last time.

At first the email said contacted in August, now it says Summer. I'm betting on November

I'm pretty stoked to say the least. Initially I was looking at a Mark 4.5, and then the racing dial.. but this answers everything.

My exact thinking.

Btw, a very nice watch but not $7k nice imho.
