Omega 321 Ed White

Hi guys, those who know me in the forum I’m Rolex 100%.

I don’t have any speed master, my AD offer me this watch but not cheap, retail is EURO 17.100. ? Is it really worth the money?

Thank you

Consider yourself lucky. I have been after the 321 ED White for more than three years.

This watch is highly sought after and among the best in Omega line up. However, secondary market value has witnessed a retreat so don't expect any gains here.

I have been in the list for one of these. It is the ultimate Omega.

Beautiful watch. "Worth the money" is a concept that means widely varied things from person to person.

This is probably the most asked question when it comes to 321.

IMHO unless you really are into the history of the 321, the space connection, and the hand assembly it’s probably not.

This coming from an owner and huge fan of the 321.

If you haven’t already read these two threads, they are worth investigating…

To echo what brandrea stated, if you don't care for the history of the movement, then it's definitely not worth it as your standard fare 1861/3861 is an amazing watch for half the price. The latter is also easier to service, more durable, and more accurate.

Also make sure you try it on and compare to the standard 3861 - they wear differently due to case size and lug shape.

Btw OP, I did not mean to dissuade you. The 321 is probably my favourite watch and this coming from a guy who never owned a Speedmaster till this one.

It’s highly legible, and the winding of the movement is like butter. The pusher operation is precise and has a beautiful tactile feel.

I don’t care much about accuracy (everyone here knows that ) but I don’t notice a real world difference from any of my Rolex in that department.

What I love most about the 321 is the feeling I get when I’m wearing it. It just feels more special than my other watches

It’s an old soul in a modern package.

If you're a watch nerd like some of us here, yes... worth the money!

If you just like the look and feel of a Speedy without the historical accuracy, then no!

GET THE WATCH!!

I agree with these comments.
