If we define modern as sometime since the beginning of the new Millenium, what do you believe is Omega's most collectible offering to date?

Maybe this?



...or that lovely watch featuring a small beagle?

Or something else?

What say ye?

 

That one's on the shortlist, but these always seem to cause a minor stir when they come to market

 

Collectable as in limited numbers/high demand? I suppose it would be a Speedie of some description from the plethora of variations produced. However, if I was to pick a model that may well become a classic, it would be one of the sword hands 22xx Seamasters. 2254.50/2255.80 or one of the less common iterations.

 

Obviously, I agree with the Meteorite being in there

What about the Mitsukoshi? Do they ever come up for sale?

 

I'd also add the 15,000 gauss AT. It'll be viewed similarly to the first Milgauss or Railmaster in a few decades.

I agree. I consider that watch to be the prototype model for all the "master" non-magnetic stuff that Omega now produces and will produce in the future. It's exactly why I purchased that watch.

 

It's exactly why I'm doing my best to hunt one down, though I may just have to deal with owning the blue dial MC. [emoji849][emoji23]

And there's this -- the Gerry Lopez Seamaster GMT LE. I've wanted one of these for as long as I've been interested in Omega watches. I tracked one down earlier this year, but missed it by just a few hours.

@w.finkenstaedt , I believe DavidSW has one for sale:

Yeah, if I had the funds available I'd have one. Maybe once a couple watches sell I'll jump on it, but it'll likely be gone by then.

Thanks though!

Any love for the standard issue 1 of 1 "Speedy Gonzales Mad Dog Edition"?

Didn't think so...BUT...I like it.

 

By the numbers I would think the Apollo Soyuz (1975) and the new release Snoopy (1970) but let us not forget the Japanese Racing. That one seems to be the hardest to come by. The Soyuz I think is the most attractive and they still seem to pop up every now and then. In fact I'll be bringing another one home (BNIB) in the next two weeks.

 

Now that is one expensive belt buckle !!!!!!!

 

It's interesting that so many modern collectibles were initially made for the Japanese market -- that includes the Gerry Lopez LE, too.

 

I would need a longer strap

 

Available here for 1777.00 http://treasurecovepirates.com/pre-...gerry-lopez-limited-black-dial-mens-watch-pd/

 

Now that I've already busted (OK -- beyond busted) the 2016/2017 watch budget

 

I guess I should have grabbed it. Already gone. Jeez.

 

I'm going to console myself by pointing out how dinged-up it is. But that's a really good price.
