I really like the blue one, but Omega should stop pushing limited editions all the time.

IMO Omega already created too many similar moon watches for this world...

Here's a shot of all three steel only models together. These are my favorite modern speedies

Congrats. The 3 look awesome. And I also believe that these are the best modern speedies around here... if you exclude the Ck2998s and FOIS steel and sedna. 😀

All boutiques in Tokyo say Panda is out of limits and may not be ordered any more. All the rest waiting time is between 6 and 12 months.

That's true not only in Tokyo but also in Osaka, Kyoto, Nagoya, and Hiroshima (both at ob and dept stores).

Blue is generally a shorter wait than red interestingly.

The green and yellow versions are sometimes available depending on the location.

Funny enough in one of the locations they offered to let us have contact of people who may provide immediately Panda.

Yes they are available in recycle shops for a markup.

But, but... didn’t the people in Japan hear that the OF community thinks LE’s are passé and should be stopped? Who are these silly people buying these LE’s? Don’t they know there are far too many of them...?

My sister passed through Kansai Airport yesterday and I asked her to buy the panda or blue if she sees one. No need to check with me, just get it! She got hung up with a visa issue and was running to catch her flight. Next to her gate was an Omega Boutique and she ran in and asked if they had any and sure enough they had the blue. But they already called final boarding so she left it there. Oh well, first world problems I guess. Someone will get lucky.

That really sucks cos she would have saved 8% sales tax and got it for 630,000!

Anyone? Do you know whether and if yes by how much prices went up in Japan? It looks like Omega without too much fuss increased prices from January 1st.

I agree, too many limited edition, moreover they are all similar and it is not giving "exclusivity" anymore..

Well! At least there is no DON. I'm happy with that.
Can you explain the DON to me? I know what it means but I don't see the difference. Thanks.

It was just a joke about how it wasn't made more extra and outdone by adding a DON, to a piece that's already quite outdone IMO. The DON was in reference to the ultraman LE, it was a hot topic at the time of posting and some people were tired of omega LEs (still now)
