To be honest I am not 100% sold either. I think I will decide if buying it once I see it with my eyes in the OB.

I finally found someone who likes the orange fluorescent blob!
https://www.revolution.watch/ultra-cool-omega/

Quite a fun read considering the tone over the top about anything concerning Omega, together with some interesting details on one of the latest ultraman sale, on the night the 18 chro limited edition was presented (with some mix up of people and their occupations), and on "a watch with an unusually long orange chronograph hand".... lol

And you found the same site that is selling the worst relaped case going
https://shop.revolution.watch/1969-speedmaster-professional-mark-ii-st-145-022.html

( warning don't look at the caseback photo for too long, you will have nightmares)

Got it. Will do that tonight with Omega. Just thought I’d help someone out.

Thanks guys!

You'll be helping out the lucky soul on at the top of the waiting list that gets your reservation! They will no doubt appreciate it.

Oh good lord! That is atrocious! That poor case has been horribly polished. The radial brushing on the front is just awful.

I've seen far worse radial brushing, sadly all too often. Not usually carrying that price tag mind you .

That price tag part is what makes it so atrocious!

I phoned them and Gábor said that they have no exact price yet and maybe they'll have only when the first watch arrives.. However based on the CHF price He estimated around 1,8-1,9M (stressed it's only a guess). Anyway if you have any further info pls let me know!😀

If it will be under 2M, we are still ok, as the difference is less than the VAT difference.
(2M means net 1.575M, the net swiss price is ~5900 CHF, with the current rates 1.64M HUF, the 6020€ in Austria means net 5020€, so 1.62 M HUF... Probably only UK would be cheaper)

I'm also interested if you have any further info 😉

I was at the mall and saw something that looked familiar, but I just don't remember where I saw it before...👎

If you had to pick a boutique in London to have it delivered which would you choose or are they all the same? Which location has the widest selection of watches and best customer service?
I have always found them friendly and helpful at the regent st store- they demagnetised and regulated my speedy free of charge and gave me a service travel case and a bag full of watch porn (brochures etc) plus a nice cold coke free of charge.

No much but considering I’d bought it grey market elsewhere and was not buying anything it was nice

When do we realistically expect ADs to start calling people?

If it's likely to be delayed beyond August, it may free up some August budget for a different purchase. 😉

RJ stated this morning on FB that deliveries start in August and are to be distributed in chronological order.

Then I'm quite far down the list at #1144, hopefully after my holidays!

Waiting for the FB group to approve me.

if you would have a choice and option to buy only 1, which one would you buy? ST#2 or 1957 edition? assuming you are an owner of ST#1 😉

The ST#2 may move up in value faster than the 60th anniversary. So, as you have ST#1 already, I would go ST#2 first but keep saving for the other.

If ST1 is an indication, prices will initially move up and then settle back down to MSRP. ST1s arent commanding a premium and aren’t exactly highly sought after at this point in their life cycle.

I would not buy this watch on premise of capital appreciation....this is not a Rolex. There will be multiple Speedmasters hitting the market in short order which complicates and diminishes the ‘value’.

Just my 2 cents.
