Limited Edition watches...just got this email from the mighty O Feb 09, 2012 - 10:18 AM

I was asking about 3574.51 Last Man on the Moon LE of 3,000 released in 2002

to me
Dear Mr. Davis,

Thank you for your email.

Yes this is a limited edition timepiece. We still have pieces in stock to sell even though it was first released in 2002.

The timepieces do not have a manufacture date. This is still a active model, so watches are still being produced since 2002.

Best regards,

Omega Sales Support

So odd to me...but hey at least now I know!!!!

A limited edition piece that is still in production since 2002?!? How many pieces are they planning on making and how limited will this be?

Read the letter. 3000 pieces.

Not unusual to have LEs spread out over several years. If they dont sell, they may make less.

Kringkily · 10 February 2012, 03:50 AM

that particular model didn't sell very well albeit a very nice watch

Bit contradictory isn't...?!?

This is a limited edition of 3000 pieces, but they will make less if dont sell well?!?

Typical....

Not at all. Limited means thats the max - no more than 3000. i dont believe they are obligated to make all 3000.

Mickey® · 10 February 2012, 04:34 AM

In another email before these they confirmed that the watch was just sold to an Omega AD! I bought it only 3 or 4 weeks ago...

And mine is only 0272...maybe they would sell more if they released more?

00Seven · 10 February 2012, 05:47 AM

We need more pics Mickey! What's the MSRP?

PS - I work right in Vinings. We should grab a drink sometime!

jmsrolls · 10 February 2012, 08:13 AM

Omega is famous for its "Limited Edition" watches. The new 50th Anniversary Bond Seamaster is limited to 11007 41mm pieces and an additional 3007 units. How many years (decades) will that watch be in production?

My JFK Commemorative was only 261 pieces and was a sell-out. The PO LM LE of 1948 pieces is now out of production and very difficult to find in stock anywhere. But these are the exceptions rather than the rule when it comes to Omega LEs.

Regardless, Mickey's "Last Man" is a nice Speedy Pro and I'm glad he was able to pick one up.

At Basel Omega gets an idea how much interest a new models gets.
Before Basel Omega decides how many there will be made, but if they only recieve fx 1000 orders they will then not produce the entire 3000 at once.

Hey I worked at Vinings for a long time...I worked for HD for 13 years...at Corp. Office. I'm ready for a Pint when you are!

MSRP on the Tag was $3800.00

Here's mine:

A friend gave him an Omega "Ultra-thin" that JFK wore on his inauguration. Omega later purchased the watch at auction for $350K. It resides in the Omega museum in Bienne. In 2008, Omega reintroduced the watch as a LE commemorative.

Wow, 10 years later the 3000 not yet made...

LOL. Yep...I just bought mine and it's 0272 of 3,000. Omega told me that it was just sold to AD end of 2011. No idea what numbers are out there though.

The number on your watch has nothing to do with where they are in production. You may have received #3000 but only half the lot may be sold.

Yes you might be correct...and?

Cool...did you see MSRP. Looks like it's "classic" size is fairly small?

I saw the JFK in LAs Vegas in January, very nice. Man, I would love to have one of those.
