Thanks for the suggestion, bibbi and will certainly do so when I think it is needed. I'm not a member of said forum so I have no clue what post you are talking about.

If Daniel Craig wore it, it will come...

Got this from my SA at a boutique. They are taking deposits. It’s coming by the at the latest summer I was told. Omega to announce it any day now. I’m also told probably with a price increase, maybe $8400 USD. Also told only in sapphire is what they expect but not sure.

I still prefer the panda look of the 2020 Tokyo model, but I do think it's an improvement to go with black hands. Legibility is probably an issue with the Tokyo model.

He told me he had no information to provide to me at this time other than the watch is very much so real as he was the one who put it on Daniel Craig's wrist the day of the event in NYC and that it will not be a limited edition/run and will be in full production.

Another SA pulled me aside and asked me for my contact info and advised I would be hearing from him in 2 weeks as he couldn't say anything with his boss there before. So it looks like it with be either released or announced in 2 weeks' time. We'll see.

This is extremely interesting information! Tomorrow could be the day...

Yeah, that pic doesn't quite look like the one on Daniel Craig's wrist. The one on his wrist looks pure white. This rendering looks a bit silverfish. I like the white for sure. I talked to my local boutique and he also said it's coming.

$8400 for a speedy…lol

Seems to me to be better value than a steel Daytona people can't get or a steel one for 30k that you can get.

New speedy's are well made pieces of kit and price proximate to other brands who don't have the heritage....imo.

And remember, the Speedy and the Daytona were very similar in price back in the day. I think Omega has a lot of catch up room

[fooey]

It's a £4k watch. Max!
Greed will come back and bite them in the ass very soon!

I paid MSRP plus tax for mine and got out at 6300 or so. If a submariner is $11-12k I think it's fair.

My Ed White is destroying my 3 Daytonas on wrist time but that's a different animal.

I look forward to seeing the release. Price is subjective to me if I want the watch.

This

If a Speedy isn't a 8k watch, then a Daytona isn't more of a 15k watch...

[liberalclown]

If it wasn't a diluted line, then $8400 could be justified but not anymore. I got my Hesalite Pro in 2018 for $3600 new, cannot justify this new price. I understand the Daytona and Sub comparisons, but Omega diluted their brand while Rolex is moving to prestige. If they kept the sapphire in $6k range, then we could see this in every other person's wrist.
Omega is pushing all the buttons in the past few years, but with the brand umbrella they have under Swatch group, they could have moved Omega to prestige and use other brands for targeting mass market.

[REQUIEMnJADED4U]

I'm excited to see this release and hoping to make it my first Speedy since Snoopy was never going to happen at MSRP.

What’s the fuss about the price? If it’s going to cost $8.400 in the US with sapphire then it would be only $400 more than the regular sapphire Speedy ($8.000).

People still think it's 2016-2018 when Sapphire Sandwiches could be bought at $3500. Times have changed, market has changed, prices have changed.

[gamingdoctor]

Legibility on the tokyo is atrocious. White gold hands on a white dial, what could go wrong?

Definitely liking the contrast on the new one much better.

As far those complaining about the price, just buy new from a grey dealer. You can find BNIB 3861s for literally thousands off retail, I expect this one to be no different after the initial hype for a few months.

If the pic posted by Tqmb79 isn't any photoshop, I could be definitely in love with matte black hands... Oh tell me if all of you see what I see? Very hard to confirm in the real shot on Mr Craig's wrist.

That is the pic I for from a Boutique. Hard to tell, even in that pic could be silver hands and just the lighting that makes them appear black? No clue!

[baamvino]

Would this be a limited production model? Hope it's available for walk ins

I do not think it is limited but imagine demand for this will be through the roof, so expect a wait list. Will be interesting to see when you can walk in a buy in and what these will go for on the secondary market.

[Tqmb79]

Was told it’s expected to have black hands. Cool! Put deposit down for one.

Works for me!

I bought my Speedmaster Hesalite in early 2018 grey for around $3600. Not long after I heard about and saw pictures of the Mitsukoshi and loved it. At that time there were still a few OEM dials and hand sets floating around before Omega cut that tap off. I paid $500 for the dial and hands in sealed original packaging and a local watchmaker charged me $175 for the swap.
I get lots of compliments on it and tell the story behind it. I have never claimed it to one of the original 300 and that doesn't bother me at all. Kudos to Omega for adding a white dial option but I think I like mine better.

Nice! If you like it that’s all it needs !

[thsiao]

Is the dial white or silver?

On-line fora can be funny. We have a thread three pages long with both praise and criticism for something that hasn't happened
