    Still waiting to see if I can get a speedy Tuesday. If not, I'm definitely sourcing one of these.

    I wonder how long before the 'frankeneers' print homebrew tintin dials and fit them to regular speedies.... :eek:
    This is why its important to keep track of the 'official' serial number spectrum.::book::

    Good shots--always appreciate macro's of the uneven paintjob of the checkered ring. Without a loupe, most people would never know it looked like that :)

    What lens were you using?

    Doubt we will see that, I've never seen a speedy dial modified, I've seen service dials for sale, or restored vintage dials done.

    Just defending the frankeneers, since I'm one now.

    I wonder if you can quote here what they have said about TinTin in the book for the less privileged like me who won't have access to the book to read. Thanks

    Can you post a picture of the new book?
    There is a red and a black one? Is this right?
    Price is about 250€?

    The ones that were sold before the wooden box came out came in a red box. I have one in the red and one in the wooden.

    Nice seeing the name in print, but could someone post a picture of the page or two so that all can see? Or not allowed due to copyrights?

    Seems like they got that manufacturing information slightly wrong. I thought word was that production of this model had definitely ended by mid-2015, with boutique inventory almost completely depleted by May 2016. Heck, fratello had mentioned rumors that it had ceased production by May 2014:

    I too had same information to believe. Or Omega just cleverly used Fratellowatches to post favourable articles to sell out their inventory by igniting interest among watch enthusiasts!! The logic may go little further and later they obliged them by collaborating for ST or vise versa?! Just wild thoughts. Hope I'm wrong. I don't know.

    Not so true re the depletion.

    I knew of several in the OB network at the end of 16 and personally bought the last one in the UK (Bond Street) in Feb this year and confirmed by Omega that there were non at all now in any Omega boutique world wide.

    That does not include the authorised dealer network - which I can also confirm there is none in the UK, largely because I spent a day calling every AD in the UK.
