Just a snap for WIS members. Imagine you have the funds what would you buy a Platona with baguette dial or Speedmaster Moonphase?
And a second one for rest of the world. Imagine you dont have any affiliation with watch hobby and all of a sudden you decide to spend 80 grands. What would you buy? Until recently there was an Eagle has landed speedmaster in platinum being sold as NOS on chrono24 for something around 28 000 eur. At list price over 70 000 eur or something.

I've wanted an all Platinum bracelet Speedy for a while. Sadly, they had to ruin it for me with gemstones as the hour markers. 🙁

Still can't satisfy my all-platinum Speedy desires.

Like Dolly Parton said: "It costs a lot of money to look this cheap." But I'll admit, the blue one looks pretty good to me.

Among the three, the blue one with silver minutes seems to be the best daily watch.

If they were much smaller, they would be awesome. I love the green, too

I'm sorry, but as nice as platinum looks, these watches just don't appeal to me or look like something I would wear a lot.

As someone said, it reminds me of something Rolex would do. I'm sure someone would appreciate and wear these watches.

Otherwise they look very well made and I especially like the blue one.

😀 I am so humble, I will go with the green one only.

The green one almost looks like the hour markers are forever lighted up by luminous material...

These are killer pcs which i can never afford..... 🙁

Hooray for necro-threading.

Below is a rumored conversation amongst the design team:

Intern Sven: “We have ruby markers for the red bezel and emeralds for the green bezel, I suggest we put sapphires on the blue bezel!!!”

Design Chief Franz: “Sven, I believe I speak for everyone on the team when I say we are tired of your outlandish ideas, your time here at Omega has come to an end.”

500 grams on the wrist? You’ll need to buy one for each arm to help you balance when you walk. Another genius marketing ploy...

Don’t take that literally. Not 100% sure, but weight won’t surpass 300 gr.

On the flipside if you're in a bad situation and cornered, the watch wouldn't be a bad choice in defending yourself with.

Wow I did not notice these models until now. I love the Speedy Professional design, but these... I always thought that the proportions were not attractive, probably something to do with the size of the subdials and the moonphase being too large. The plain steel models were still OK, but this... Why oh why, Omega. Stop shooting yourself in the foot! Or putting it in your mouth after you shoot it off!

I like the red bezel, with a black dial that will be something else.
