I know the model, but I had to look it up because I wasn't aware they were producing it again. So it's gold and the price is impressive...

All I can say is congrats. Was it difficult to get?

I got a tip that the watch was available at an AD. I was surprised given it's supposed to be OB exclusive.

I was wondering last week if you’d got one of these, it looks really good. Congratulations

I enquired at my local boutique about one and was told that they only knew of one in the UK!

It was my understating that this watch was boutique exclusive, however I managed to source this one from an AD. An AD that was willing to discount.

I don’t know about where you are, but here in the UK I’ve found that some boutiques are having to accept that some Omega prices are way too high and are struggling to sell some of the expensive models. I didn’t ask about discounts because I doubt a boutique would offer them, but there appears to be very little interest in the onyx dial versions here.

I really like your latest watch, but the price is just too high here for me to even seriously think about getting one. I had a look at the platinum strap version a couple of weeks ago at a boutique in London, but I got the impression that the member of staff who showed me it knew it was so overpriced it wouldn’t sell.

As I’ve said, I really like your latest broad arrow version and I hope you enjoy wearing it, I’m very jealous.

I am a little confused by your post. So these Boutique staff, who accepting their product price is too high, what are they then doing? As a seller if your price is too high surely you discount, but you say that wasn't a possibility.

There is little interest in the Onyx dials as you call them because there are very few of them. The Canopus pricing is high, we have all said that but the OP looks to have done well scouting one at an AD. Omega however didn't make these watches to get mass appeal or sales. they are for genuine Speedmaster enthusiasts who know their onions.

Actually, my local Omega Boutique had this watch in inventory for about a year now. They brought it in for a special customer who never showed up to complete the sale.

However given my local OB does not negotiate price on boutique exclusive watches, the $81K USD (+ taxes), was just too much of a stretch for me.

But as they say, what has been seen can't be unseen, and I just couldn't stop thinking about that beautiful timepiece.

As luck would have it, a member of my local watch forum reached out to me to let me know that an Omega Dealer out of Province recently took a 321CG into inventory.

(That in itself raises questions as it was my understanding that the watch was exclusive to boutiques).

No matter.... I reached out to the AD, made an offer which was accepted, and a week later the watch was on my wrist.

I doubt it...there are some Omega fanatics out there with really deep pockets.

That's absolutely beautiful and this thread deserves more pictures!

Can you tell us more about how it wears? What are the dimensions like?
