I am dying to see that one as well, but at over 13k.... Looking at it is all I'll be able to do.

Simply stunning, but like others have said, too rich for my pocketbook, unless I sold a few pieces. Also, I am not sure how I feel about a 2 register chronograph. I know it is a mental hurdle I would have to overcome. It is one of the reasons I jumped on the 57 reissue, which I also think is pricey at an MSRP of $6800.00 for the stainless steel version. Good thing I know a guy.....

I would like to see it as well but at $13,000 I rather have Daytona

Me too.

Tough to argue with the proven reliability and resale value of the Daytona.

I don't worry a whole lot about resale if it's under 2k, but with anything above that, resale takes the top spot along with "do I like the watch?"

In this case I like the Grey Side better than the Daytona, but the proven reliability and resale of the Daytona would just about force me to buy it instead.

Omega raised their prices too high too fast and the sheer number of models have hurt their value imho.

I agree on Omega raising their prices way too fast, but I guess that goes along with the in house movements and the move towards Boutiques.

Very nice, but as mentioned crazy prices

Speedmaster Pro Co-axial definitely looks appealing. But the price is just too high for another Speedy. Maybe after trying one on I'll feel different about it.

One thing to add to the discussion is about black cases. My new Breitling is DLC coated and shows every fleck of dust and fingerprint in photos - not so bad with the naked eye. It's more of a grey color like the Grey Side of the Moon. I've seen a DSOM at a boutique and it was a dust/fingerprint magnet even with the naked eye. I'll liken these to a black car - they look stunning when clean, but get dirty fast!

Love to see this one as well. Apparently the Ceramic Tachymetre is laser engraved and filled with super luminova. The dial is platium. And even the Omega symbol on the crown is lumed.

I think, though, my favourite Moonwatch is the 40th Anniversary which I was a couple of weeks ago at the Boutique. Only 69 made, and they still have one. Little wonder, as it's $120,000. Nevertheless, if money was no object.

Cheers,
Carl

Omega does it again! They're building one heck of a product line.It's getting harder to overlook them in the selection process.

Now on the Omega website. It's already at a couple of Boutiques in the USA. So it's a lot earlier than planned. Can't wait to see one IRL myself. There's a guy on WUS who is getting one this week,

I'll have to visit the boutique with Baco Noir when he gets here in 10 days.

At the Omega Boutique yesterday afternoon. They just received a GSOTM in the morning:







The hands are not really blue. When I took this pic, they were shining an ultraviolet light on the watch, to make the lume stand out:

These Omega watches looks perfect on your wrist, Carl! It's as if they were made for you.
