Yet another new Speedmaster...

Post by nbg »

No I haven’t bought another Speedmaster.

However Omega have predictably pushed out another one.

Whilst I get the significance of the Snoopy award, I don’t get the bit about sticking a cartoon dog on a watch face.

Mind you the last one did rather well for the speculators.

The thing about a new Speedmaster, whatever you or I might think, is that it will sell.

Now this colour scheme, without the cartoon images, would be a really interesting proposition...

Why is the price so high? Movement?

However, you also need to see the caseback 😲 👏

I think it looks brilliant.

Crazy money though.

Surely this just another Speedmaster and not a moonwatch? Nice watch by the way apart from the dog. Although without the dog it would it would have no special significance to collectors.

I went from a “5/10 might buy if I had all the other watches I ever wanted” to a “11/10 2nd mortgage in order to get one” in the span of that video. The case back is interesting, never seen anything like it before.

I like blue and white chronos.

Similar to a couple of Raymond Weil chronos.
The first one had a 3,6,9 layout.
The second one was slightly less expensive, with a 6,9,12 layout. see pic on a CW hybrid strap, although it actually came on blue leather.

Also somewhat similar to the El Primero.

Impressive video though. Somewhat different to a transparent case back.

I quite like it, nice colour combo and very interesting case back! Way out of my budget though and I don't fully understand the snoopy connection.
