The Omega Speedmaster of my Dreams: Speedmaster 1450022 Alaska Project Type 2.
Seeing pictures of your grail is one thing, seeing it in the real is a totally different experience.
It stays stuck in your head for the end of times.
The Alaska Project Type 2 certainly is a watch I will never get. I missed one some ten years ago, from a collector based in Italy, and the train has gone. Funding it is a huge problem, but finding it is even wrose, with a handful prototypes made. 5? 10? Not much more!
So, yes, I think we can call it a Grail. Something impossible to find and get.
Pictures taken at the Omega Museum.
The consolation lot would be to find a nice homage, from 2008. But it is not totally the same, of course.
Best,
Nicolas

I was offered a very cheap reissue, new complete set in 2008/9 and turned it down. LOL.
...I unfortunately had to content myself with the commemorative edition!
This is the last Speedmaster from which I would separate: so ethereal... HAGWE! massi ...
I would be happy with just the commemorative edition...
the original goes beyond a watch to being a historical artifact. An impossible watch!
