This is insane madness. I recently bought my first proper watch and was originally set on a Rolex. I went into their boutique in London. I knew about the waitlist but just wanted some info on the...
Thanks everyone - some really good advice. I collected the watch today and like the steel bracelet but still feel like alligator leather would feel more dressed up. I’m going to go ahead and order a...
Hi everyone, thought I’d post a quick update. I collected my new Speedmaster from the AD today and couldn’t be happier with the choice. Thanks again for all of the advice....
Same here. I did get a discount but nowhere near 20% unfortunately.

Thanks, I will check our Hirsch. Are there any advantages to opting for a deployment strap or does a regular buckle strap okay?

Thanks to the amazing advice on this forum, I am preparing to collect a new Omega Speedmaster Professional tomorrow afternoon. I chose the hesalite model on the steel bracelet.
However, I am...
Just DM’d you

I would be grateful if you could update us as/when you speak with them. I’ll do the same after my appointment next Wednesday. Good luck

I am in exactly the same boat and have an appointment with Goldsmiths next week. Apparently they had the Speedy on discount earlier this year, so your chances are good.
On a previous thread,...
That is a super nice watch and still looks great all these years later. The fried egg bezel (think that is the right term for them) are growing on me. Enjoy!

This doesn’t really answer your question, but perhaps one from your own collection would be an option? Or, if there’s a brand that he associates with you, following that heritage would be nice.

Thanks everyone for the advice. I am currently speaking to AD about a discount on the speedy! As others mentioned, the Seamaster can either come at a later date and my skx can fill that position in...
Thanks for the advice. 20% seems like a huge discount. That’s £800 off the £4K RP. Do Omega regularly discount new models if you ask them? Or does this apply to dealers?

This is hilarious!

This is very true. I hadn’t considered how they might age, but agree that the Speedmaster is timeless in that sense.
The sales assistant at Omega did say that prices are going up in September. She...
This makes a lot of sense. I do plan to keep the SKX. To be honest, reading the replies has clarified that I’m leaning more towards the Speedy. Think I’ll try them both on again and just see which...
Yes, I think you’re right. I suppose it’s just a large purchase and want to feel like I made the right choice afterwards. Thanks for the advice re the second hand market. I hadn’t considered that....

Hi, I’ve been following this forum for the last year and trying to learn as much as possible. I’m new-ish to watches...
