So, day #2 since ‘the bomb’ dropped. We have all had a chance to spend one day looking at it, then one night to sleep on it. Today yields fresh eyes and no surprises, everything processed. So, what do we think today?
(I think it’s better than I did yesterday, and yesterday I was fully convinced 👍)
My wife hates it when dots are NEXT to numbers.
What's the estimate on delivery of these? I recall a lot of frustration with the ST#1 delivery timelines. I have no dog in this fight, but I wouldn't be surprised if that happens again.
The flaw in your logic there is that not every LE is going to sell at a premium. Use that line on an owner of a 60th LE 2915 and they may give you a wry smile since even a BNIB model will struggle to get much above RRP at present, and even ST1 models now sit around on sales forums for a quite while unless offered at only a smallish premium over list (check for yourself). Yes there can be a flurry of transactions at inflated prices right after launch but many of these watches (and there are many to choose from) wont and don't fly. I can see the ST2 launch softening values of the ST1 further incidentally...
Assume 9-12 months and you probably will not get disappointed. But unlike the 60th series, you do not have to pay until you pick it up.
Why did they say an associate from Omega would be in contact with you in August then? I had assumed this was for payment.
It would be nice to see some real-life "non-marketing" pictures of the watch to have an idea of how it looks like without makeup.
I could see just two in instagram.
Really looks like you won't notice the blacklight helmet at all unless you're at a rave. That was my only concern. Very excited to pick mine up!
How scratch resistant is the hesalite crystal? I've never owned a watch without a sapphire before?
Funny, everyone is focussed on the Ultraman elements of the design, and what I like are the elements that when combined are reminiscent of the original black dialed Speedmaster Racing
