    Some of my idea

    White dial
    Snoopy if Omega prefer to work on the Apollo 13 Mission
    Tintin

    What about you?

    My guess is...

    1 Overpriced
    2 Sold out in one day
    3 Purchased mostly by people who want to turn around and make a profit.

    Do I win anything?

    Personally I found ST1 and ST2 both well thought out and executed. I thought that no ST3 being issued last year during a big anniversary year was a nice strategy.

    So far, we have seen two dials with AML, all sub-dials being a solid and consistent colour (apart from slightly hidden Ultraman UV image). Both have been very attractive and tastefully done (IMO).

    I have no idea what direction @Robert-Jan will go with ST3, but I'm optimistic based on his past decisions. I still hope to see something like the blue soleil dial, without any tacky images on the subdials.

    If it weren't for the ultraman head and baton, I'd say both were very tasteful. Fingers crossed for the next to be classy.

    I would argue that making the Ultraman head a similar colour and only slightly raised was done "tastefully". I also would have preferred it be done without that added touch, but it didn't stop me from buying it and it isn't very noticeable when wearing the watch. Let's hope the next one comes with a clean dial with no 'gimmicks'. :thumbsup:

    I never even think about the image on the ST2 when wearing it, it's a non-issue for me. It has to be the least intrusive specialty subdial in the Omega line. So in that regards it's tasteful.

    Price will be interesting, with latest limited editions over £7k, whereas ST1 and 2 were between £4-5k.

    Newer movement may push price up considerably, I’m hoping not....

    Both the ST1 and ST2 are fantastic. The one thing that annoys me is the "Speedy Tuesday" engraving. Like the HEV on the Seamaster, I just can't do it.

    I think it will be released only during late summer/fall. Can't see the point of releasing anything right now with consumers in the US, Europe and Asia starting to enter full panic mode over Covid-19.

    I am hoping for a Snoopy but a X33 variant (as called out by @STANDY) could be an interesting option.

    Does there need to be a ST3 with the 321 being released?

    Sorry but it was already stated several times by Robert-Jan, that ST3 won't be released in 2020.
