Thanks Robert-Jan, great write up as usual, addressing some of the controversial aspects of the watch. I think many on the OF were waiting for your unbiased review on this one, as we all respect your opinion as a serious Speedy collector.
Having seen many of the live photos I do think this is one of the most creative designs from Omega with one of the most interesting interpretations of a skeleton dial in recent years. I am pretty sure that live on the wrist the yellow is much more discreet than in the close-up shots. I am looking forward to see this watch live...for me this is a pop-art, fun Speedy to have in your collection...similar to a Snoopy Speedy, for example.
With the Apollo 8 DSOTM not being a LE we can all wait till next year to see if the Apollo 11 50th Speedy options are better buys. I do think though that the whole DSOTM product line is closely linked to the Apollo 8 mission, so I am not necessarily expecting anything next year more "radical" than this year's design...thought we might see a METAS movement upgrade across the standard DSOTM range for 2019.
