Considering Last Omega

Now that I’ve officially become a senior, I’m giving consideration to purchasing one last Omega to complete the collection.

Have narrowed the field down to one of these three…thoughts?

Speedmaster Canopus 321: 311.50.39.30.01.001
Speedmaster Alaska Project: 311.32.42.30.04.001
Speedmaster Moonphase 345.0809

Well, you already have an amazing collection! Most would be more than happy with that on its own.

I would go Alaska Project given the uniqueness and to have someting a little different. 321 Canopus if you want to go out with a bang, just personally struggle with the absurd price tag.

Exciting! Happy hunting

If you can swing the 321, that’s the one IMHO

Regardless to what you chose you'll be happy. For me personally I would go with the Alaska Project. I've always appreciated that piece.

I prefer the last one shown. Not a fan of the Alaska as it is too stark for me. The WG is not unique enough for me at the price. Good luck and let us know what you decide.

I would go 321 to complete that set. Pricey though.

Honestly none of those three rock my world

You already have the greatest Moonwatch in the catalog with that 321 platinum. It doesn't get any better that that.

I'm going to be the jerk that suggests something off list, but if this is truly your last, what about the platinum Speedy with the meteorite subdials?

Alaska is a bit illegible for me, that moon-phase is lovely that’s where I’d be going to ..

Wow. The Alaska is stunning, striking, lovely, but for me, it would be the 321.

Haven't decided quite yet, but I'm well on my way in assembling the funds to complete the purchase...regardless of direction.

Running out of excuses.....

321 is beautiful, but I think the price new is far too high.

I would like a Canopus 321, I think they look really nice, but I think the pricing is a non funny joke!

If it was a third of the mrrp I’d consider it, but it does look very nice if you have the money or the want.

The more I look at this thread, the more I like the Speedmaster Moonphase though, I think I might have to learn more about this model.
