There's lots of watches at or near this price point that are likely not better but we've all been trained to "think" they are. Lots of people having that perception aids resale value but that

has little to do with actual quality of the product. GS fights a similar battle to gain respect.

OMEGA SPEEDMASTER 321 CANOPUS GOLD

 
 By: India Whiskey Charlie : January 4th, 2022-16:20
Who's going first? πŸ˜‰ ...  

I will...if it's half the price, sorry but my wallet is not that deep.

 
 By: Clueless_Collector : January 4th, 2022-16:23
It is a stunning watch, great details, technology and design but I'm happy with the 2017 version at 1/10th of the price ) ...  

+1!

I actually prefer your trilogy version!

So about the price of a Lange Datograph...

 
 By: vitalsigns : January 4th, 2022-17:12
I don't care what precious metal it's made of...the movement quality/finish does not match the massive price tag.

+1

Lol on the price

 
 By: mj23 : January 4th, 2022-19:17
Also why have prints on the back sapphire like grand Seiko does πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

That pricing is pure insanity...

 
 By: PeterL : January 4th, 2022-19:38
Cannot possibly imagine anyone who would buy this instead of a Datograph or a PP5070... or any PM Daytona.

If memory serves correct, fifteen years ago a steel ref 3572.50 was priced . . .

 
 By: Dr No : January 4th, 2022-21:46
. . . a fifth the list of a solid gold Speedy. The current steel Ed White 321 lists at just over $14K. Is $81k that far from $70k? πŸ™‚ Now, I'm not about to buy any watch at that kind of price level. But, if I were, the sheer gravitas of rightfully legendar... 

I kinda agree. 81k seems like too much but is it..

 
 By: Echi : January 5th, 2022-08:11
I’ve read comments like it’s vc, als territory. But i think this one is arguably playing in that league. Onyx dial. Enamel filled bezel. Handmade mov’t iirc and in very low production numbers. And a legendary one to boot. Then there’s the bracelet. Next t... 

On the bright side

It will be readily available to see, try on and purchase.

Crazy or not so crazy on the price

 
 By: Miranda : January 5th, 2022-00:44
this will most likely be made in very few numbers Maybe Omega see the crazy prices in C24 and thought 🀬it Why not? Mind you a little bit of Instahype, it might retail in the grey for half a million πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ‘πŸ»

LOL! Good one, I.

 
 By: amanico : January 5th, 2022-08:15

It’s a lot, for sure

 
 By: hewitgar : January 5th, 2022-01:01
But then … it will probably be selling for even more….

Would prefer it on strap...

 
 By: mdg : January 5th, 2022-03:02
...and don't engrave clear backs...

The frenly Omega boutique asked what I think….

 
 By: S F : January 5th, 2022-04:18
I said let me know if Omega does one not in gold, not with an onyx dial and not with the cal 321πŸ˜‚. But this one is impressive.

Over Priced watch …

The pricing is totally absurd! Jealous about Rolex-Patek-AP? He wants to be noticed in the same league and maybe he thinks now is the time? Best Tempus

Why not ?

 
 By: christianch : January 5th, 2022-10:58
The price is high but if they paid the same amount in a recent auction for a Rolex Hulk Steel and ..let's not even look at Patek absurd pricing (and "allocation strategy" are you worth enough to buy our products?) this would be doable for someone that loo... 

Dear Christian

 
 By: tempus : January 7th, 2022-10:57
I don’t share this valuation. Just compare it with a Rolex Daytona whitegold Meteorite Dial 116509. The price of the Omega is almost DOUBLE!!! 😳 It is the same price like a Platinum Daytona with the beautiful baguette dial! πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ Clients and collectors (a... 

Pricing and product strategy absurd, in my opinion.

 
 By: Monopole : January 5th, 2022-14:11
It makes the EdWhite 321 looks like a really good buy.

Maybe that is the point πŸ˜‰

Thanks for saying . . .

Get the trilogy grey and call it a day.

 
 By: MiguelFlash : February 24th, 2022-22:31
I wear my trilogy Seamaster on a strap or NATO because I’m not a big fan of the bracelet. As such, I would not be interested in this one and would rather have the non limited Canopus Speedmaster. At half the price too.
