    you'll have to define 'reasonable price' :D They seem to be selling in the $10k USD +/- $1k range these days.

    9k would work. Ideally it would be great if I could trade my big box moon watch in for it as well. C053792E-118C-44A7-99D8-6F156E1ABB08.jpeg

    It's kind of interesting. They weren't the hottest sellers. I also remember being offered with not a huge mark up a couple of years after release. Obviously, also regret not picking it up.

    So crazy I’m ready to pay double of what the boutique offered it to me for.

    When did Omega make the switch to the wooden box? Mine came with the red vinyl box.

    Apologies, I’ve gone back 5 pages but can’t see anything. In order to save me going through all 160(!) could someone give me the rough consensus as to how many of these were produced?

    I think the general guestimate is somewhere between 1500-2000.

    Thanks Smitty. Also, any chance you (or anyone else) know the range of serial numbers?

    It’s a narrow range with the bulk of the serials I have noted falling within 777xxxxx. This can be found on page 112 of this thread
    Edited: structure for easier reading.

    I remember reading somewhere about an insider divulging numbers below 1000.

    Man, if only this had happened. Thanks @omegadave for the rendition.

    Didn't realize this watch even existed until yesterday- an absolute shame. Professor Calculus would have... approved the sort of temporal irony at work here. I wouldn't ever call it a goat though.....

    Ha ha.. actually its on the very first page, the very second post. But the generally accepted concensus seems to be something around 2000

    Hi all, sorry about all the questions but I’m going to view one of these at the weekend.

    Did this watch come in a wooden box originally? Some that are for sale seem to have a wooden box but others a red leather box/case? See pics below. Did it come with anything else? I just want to check everything is present when I view it?

    The first batches came in the red box and the latter in the wooden box
