Thanks for your detailed response. Price/value is completely different discussion. I believe I over-expected from 321 while it was the 3861 that over-delivered hence the dilemma. It ll take time ...

....to sink in at my end.
To answer your other Q Breguet Montblanc both have similar propositions Lemania Villeret which are much better finished iirc. I dont believe their price 18-20k is that far off but those are in PMs etc.
I m sort of envious of some of you who decided preemptively before deliveries started that 321 was a winner and are blissfully content with the acquisition. I too expected love at first sight but it didn't happen. Let us see, I like challenging pieces and keep coming back to them.

Opinions: Omega 321 vs new Speedy moonwatch
By: redcorals : January 14th, 2021-12:17
I had the opportunity to look at both these today and somehow unexpectedly my allegiance for now is with the new ordinary 'basic' Speedmaster as opposed to the revered 321. It is simply a more aesthetically pleasing watch on the wrist when compared to the...
Both are great Speedmasters ...

But the Speedmaster 321 “Ed White” is on the next level. The perfect solution is to have one of each ;-))
I have thought about the same question

For reasons similar to yours, the design of the classic simply speaks to my heart massively. And while the 321 has the venerability, if I would have to choose one or decide from which to start, I would go classic. All the best, Alex
Tricky choice indeed

My heart could go for the classic given the case shape which is exceptional, and having a slightly more pedestrian movement makes sense in such a tool watch. I am saying that but I have not tried the 321 yet. I had a 3998 in the past but always preferred ...
It all comes down to what is important to you and your preferences...

The Moonwatch case with the lyre lugs has become synonymous with the Speedmaster due to the duration it has existed. The EW 321 is based off an older reference and thus an homage to a different era. If you just consider the looks, then that is subjective....
New speedy. They did right with that one..

Although i am slightly annoyed by the “flight qualified in 1965” text. Its like justifying itself that it’s also a legit moonwatch I’d go sapphire sandwich if ever. Applied logo, partly polished links on the bracelet, and supposedly thinner than the hesal...
The Ed White 321 is an homage . . .

. . . to a legend. Cal 3861 Speedmasters are the dawn of a third generation. One beckons the past, the other is the future. I don't have a dog in this hunt, nor have I seen either in the metal yet. My hunch, though, is that Speedmasters powered by the new...

Are you familiar with Elliott's wave theory . . .
By: Dr No : January 15th, 2021-12:52
. . . of stock market trends? The third (of five) wave(s) is the strongest. My sense is we're at the dawn of the most potent era. Before long, we'll be referring to Speedmasters in BC and AD terms. ;-)
In a word . . .

. . . yes. Assuming, of course, the purported precision of the movement actually pans out. ...
