I agree with this 100%. I had the opportunity to try the white dial Speedmaster on a couple of weeks ago and was also really surprised by the size of the watch. I own a calibre 321, which I don’t wear because I think the watch looks too big on my wrist - the white dial seemed like a perfect size however, despite being 42mm.

The watch is fantastic IMO - the dial is beautiful and unlike a lot of chronographs the legibility is excellent. I’ve put my name on this list, so hopefully won’t have to wait too long!

The 321 sits very high on my wrist and feels awkward, the 3861 sits much lower. For me it’s the near perfect watch for me.

Nice my SA just confirmed she can get it for me from their buyer network. Have to buy it up front and several months delivery estimate but that works fine for me, so add one more to the clump of people picking up this new reference.

I just picked mine up white dial Speedy, and I am over the moon (pun not intended, but also kind of intended). This watch is killer!

Just received mine after paying full after 3 days. 5% off from OB.

So far very impressed.

I got mine pretty quick... I asked my Omega boutique in Singapore as I wanted to browse for a few models and then they said: oh, we received one white speedy today we can allocate to you.

Great watch, love the dial and it complements my speedys (57, snoopy 50th, classic hesalite, white 'craig').

PS: I shared my interest for this after launch, and been told 12 months wait list. so this has changed quickly... go grab it at retail price or wait for it to drop on grey (which I guess will do rapidly in the next 2-3 months give the new supply)

My only nit with this watch is the "red" lettering. I know red and white make pink but it seems like they could have done a better job making the "Speedmaster" more red than pink.

Ok, I literally took my loupe out, I see red! Not pink at all. That said, pinks kinda in. Ask Tudor
