Now where is that 321 movement though?

So if you had only one choice, 60th LE or the #ST ?

 

Don't give up on that 321 movement!! Ultimately it makes a lot of sense to bring it back.

Perhaps, for the 50th anniversary Apollo 11 105.012-66 CB reissue?

 

Still Speedy Tuesday for me

 

Got to love the DON

I think all three anniversary editions are nice. I like the Speedy and the Seamaster a lot but I don't think I will own any of them.
I'll be very happy with my Speedy Tuesday.

 

Not straight lugged.

 

now that would be something, and the 2019 commemorative edition would be the ideal occasion, but for now we must be happy manually wind steel chronographs are still in production

 

I like it, but I already have a 300mc and a Speedmaster so it doesn't feel like it would add much variety to my small collection.

 

And we see examples of this in the corporate world quite a bit. For example, the Corvette engine is a "Chevrolet" engine, and the LS-series (now the LT-series) is their highest end engine ("movement"). But about a decade ago, Pontiac released a GTO for three years, and the GTO was powered by the Chevy LS1 (2004) and later LS2 (2005-2006) engine. It was a Chevrolet engine in a Pontiac - but from a corporate perspective: it was a GM engine in a GM car.

So hopefully logic like that applies to the 321 movement within the Swatch family!

cheers,

I called the boutique to inquire, they won't confirm/guarantee your order until "sometime later" after they receive FULL deposit and have entered the order into Omega's worldwide system. Delivery is in June, as previously mentioned. FWIW, the sales person did mention that there has been robust interest here locally in DC. Wondering how fast these will be sold.

 

Agree I love the look of the speedy Tuesday a lot more. Wonder if the price is going to go up for this one.

 

absolutely correct!! And, they left the bluetooth (which back then was groundbreaking) in Australia; although you could order the factory correct parts from Australia, and install yourself here to give you that capability for your phone.

 

Here's a question - if the boutique can't deliver, do you get your deposit back? For that matter, if they are allowed to back out of their commitment to you after taking your deposit, are you allowed to cancel without penalty should you change your mind or say, see the watch in person and decide that in person it's not the watch for you?

 

Yes, it is a 100% refundable deposit for any reason.

 

That's good to know. In that case, it seems to be fair enough. Although I think the policy should be more like 100% only if you're placing an order for a watch that can be fulfilled immediately (e.g., days). For cases like these where delivery is TBD/months, a partial deposit such as 10 or 25% is more reasonable.

Either way, all good. Thanks for sharing all you've learned!!

 

Fully refundable, get your money back for whatever reason....

 

I put a deposit down on the 60th SM300 at the Chicago OB, fully refundable if I choose not to buy the watch. They did not require 100% but I put the deposit down mid-day on Wednesday. They called back to confirm my card was charged and I was loaded into the worldwide Omega system and guaranteed a watch. I havent been called/emailed back requiring 100% as some others have stated. However, perhaps this was Speedy/Boxed Set only that they are requiring 100%. Curious if anyone buying the RM or SM had to put down a deposit for 100%.

 

Put my deposit down at the OB at South Coast Plaza for the LE speedy. Was 100% and informed non refundable, which concerned me a bit. In the event they are unable to deliver shouldn't I get my money back rather than be forced to pick up something else?

First time dealing with any OB as I have previously only purchased pre owned aside from my Moonwatch from an AD.
