    Hi all,

    I have a wish:

    Speedmaster
    - Master Chronometer
    - Open case back
    - Ceramic Liquidmetal bezel
    - size 40mm max
    - no date
    - maybe with rattrapante or flyback function
    - ZrO2 dial
    - applied indexes and logo
    - a hint of red in the mix with black overall design
    - water resistance 100m min

    Like this (modified existing model):

    ceramic LM bezel, now thats what i want on the speedy!
    The red accents are cool too. I'd do without the "split seconds" text. Loving your dial treatment however.

    Is the left pusher for flyback?

    I think the problem is anything released will have to be Metas and I'm not sure they can shrink a Chrono movement down to a size that supports a 40mm let alone 36/38 case anytime soon. It's not like they are going to put a 3313 in anything new as technically it's not inhouse.

    That watch, if it had been just a regular Pro cased Moonwatch rather than a large 33x3 family piece with split seconds would have been really cool, red hand included. Its a great dial and bezel thats for sure.

    Agreed esp as that movement is smaller then the 861. Well at least narrower.

    My wish is for nothing too enticing as I've already gotta figure out how to pay for the Speedy Tuesday!

    I would love to see a return of the speedy reduced! I have 6.25" wrists (on a hot day) and would love to be able to get a smaller version of the legendary moonwatch. I'd also like to see Omega give this watch a true chronograph movement. I've stayed away from the discontinued reduced speedy because of how difficult the movement is to service.

    Have you looked at some of the Speedmaster dates? Same layout 38-39mm and have reliable movements that are easy to source.

    I would love to see a Master Chronometer version of the cl 9605 on a Speedy or Deville Prestige. And thinner watches!

    Sooner or later I think we'll see a METAS version of the SMP Bond Diver: Liquidmetal bezel, transparent caseback, caliber 8500 antimagnetic, and microadjustable clasp. And the price will go up about $2k.

    As I said in another thread, a reissue of this for $1750 or under. Highly unlikely though.

    Wishing for them NOT to release an XXsideofthemoon or a different color of the CK2998.

    They did a really good job with the speedy Tuesday.

    Personally I'm hoping for a sm300mc with white lume instead of the fauxtina and master chronometer, but from the new CEO's language about trying to appeal more to younger people, I wouldn't even be surprised if they announced discontinuing the 300 lol.

    I think they might do a railmaster reissue with the original case like the sm300mc or the speedmaster 57 though. Just for completeness.

    How bout some He valve deletes on a few models? Oooh, and while we are at it, a few non-date versions of a couple of others!! Yeah! Occam's Razor and all, c'mon! (Ok, that was a real stretch. But I like streamlined versions of things is all).

    One of my favourite things about the SM300 - no He valve.
