You may not realize it, but your OP was like going on a Porsche forum and asking why there are so many 911s.
For me, and this is no joke
Before I discovered this forum,
Before I bought both editions of Moonwatch Only and Omega Journey Through Time
Before I studied speedmaster101 cover to cover and
searched the internet for more and more Speedmaster information.
I stumbled onto this YouTube . As wild as it may seem, watching this 2014 video was where my attraction to Speedmasters began
(We know you Fan Boys are secretly running around acting like Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong in your NASA Underoos when you think nobody is watching, doing that funny zero-G hop/walk like on the surface of the moon, saying things like "the Eagle has landed" and "one small step for man...." while gazing intently at your 145.022 with the look you used to give your wife before you were married.) 😜
Wait, hang on. Speedmasters went to the moon?!
I bought a few because Denis is always talking crap about them so I figured he was trying to lock the market and buy them all up himself.
You may not realize it, but your OP was like the 999th bloke going on a Porsche forum and asking why there are so many 911s.
"Shut this one down"... wow, it's been informative. I feel awfully welcome. I apologize in advance if I read the sentiment wrong but this kind of snobbery doesn't really serve anyone any good. Just trying to get to know other members and learn something along the way, I didn't expect this.
Watching the private sale forum, I see a lot of Speedmasters changed hand, some for incredible amounts of money. Surely it isn't just the aesthetics. But what else? When I look at them, most of the time I go "that's nice but I still prefer a Seamaster". Perhaps I just don't know the history or spot something special. Anyone care to educate?
Bit dull for a Thursday??? Maybe just needs a bit of an edit mate???
Watching the private magazine forum, I see a lot of big titties change hands. some are incredibly wobbly. Surely it isn't just the aesthetics. But what else? When I look at them, most of the time I go "that's nice but I still prefer a small titty." Perhaps I just don't know about titties or spot something special. Anyone care to educate?
Hey, Jeremy Clarkson made a career out of asking exactly the same question on Top Gear news. I think it's valid. But great job, someone finally put it in a way I can understand.
Dammit, we’ve been rumbled!
I take the Richard Hammond point of view. Omega should sell only Speedmasters. When you walk into an Omega boutique, the only question you should hear is "what color?"

Well, sure, but Clarkson is an asshole.
He's paid to be an asshole. I do it pro bono.
