I'm not an Omega Speedmaster expert, but this looks a lot like an aged Ed White.

I much prefer this picture of the watch to the picture at the start of this thread. I'm not a great fan of the colour of the lume and I can't make my mind up about the alpha hands. I like the size and shape of the case and I like the bracelet and dial. I suspect that I will have to see and handle the watch to make my mind up about it, but the first thing that came to mind when I saw it was that I'd rather pay a bit more and go the whole hog and get a SS cal 321 which looks like it has the same case, bracelet and dial. I look forward to seeing one in person, but at the moment, I don't think I'll be getting one. |

I really hope they put that new crystal in the regular model.

“A bit more”….. well, if double the price for the 321 is just a “bit more” then sure, go for it. :-) |

Surprisingly, the promo photos look way better than the real life photos, at least for the dial. With a lot of watches, I think it's better naturally. Not this one! Nonetheless, I'd love to see one in person eventually.

I mean that makes it seems like a lot different watch but ask 100 non omega collectors which is which, I'm gonna guess most wouldn't know. Hands are the only real giveaway to me

Like I said, I'm no Speedmaster expert. The "original" Speedmaster has not really interested me to the point of pulling the trigger on one, although I can't state really why. I was much more interested in the ceramic Grey Side more that the Moonwatch and variants.
I really can't tell the difference from the separate Moonwatch models if you just showed pictures of them. I guess the hands and brown lume are the only things that stand out. Can't judge size from just the pictures except if it was on a wrist, but even then, I'm not sure I could gauge the size. The bracelet looks like an Ed White bracelet, doesn't it? Whatever. |

I'm sure you all actually held the two and actually looked, you would be able to most of the differences. Like you said, pictures don't accurately reflect dial colors and details or convey sizes well. The lume and hands are the most obvious from the from for sure. From the back the sapphire caseback vs closed caseback is obvious of course.
One could say the same about non-Submariner collectors having to differentiate between two subsequent vintage models lines with pictures alone. I'm sure most discerning watch collectors/enthusiasts could spot the differences when actually inspecting models in the flesh - which is what matters most at the end of the day, no? Anyways, I'm a fan of the photos. If I didn't have my eye on other pieces, I'd strongly consider this one. This plus the new white moon watch would be a pretty cool Speedy combo. Great that they're both regular production pieces and will be available when the time comes. |
