After 6 months from launch about 18 pieces available on secondary market.
Lowest price from a "famous" reseller $29.875.

Any doubts we are in full Daytona business model?

Good for your AD!

Here AD are around zero at the moment. I guess it depends from the county.

He has it listed on Chrono but not his site. Methinks this is a case of one of those multiple dealers selling the same watch, and see what sticks.

Standard operating procedures these days when it comes to the grey market dealers. So many out there right now, riding the wave, ridin' dirty, enjoying the cash cushion.

Standard Operating Procedures:
1) New potential hot timepiece announced.
2) All greys rejoice as there is a new game they can play.
3) Before the watch even starts delivering, greys list "test" ads on Chrono24 to prepare everyone for the elevated prices.
4) Once people start taking delivery of these pieces, enough of them remember what they saw on Chrono24, and flip them to greys at a slight discount to the "elevated list prices."
5) Greys start to hoard the market with respect to buyers with AD relationships by claiming that "the gap between MSRP and current market price is too much for some people to sustain -- some people just can't sit on a $20k profit."
6) Greys keep moving inventory between greys to give the illusion of liquidity and movement.
7) Enough suckers pay the elevated prices (well, slightly discounted to Chrono24 list prices, of course).
8) Repeat.

This is why it's not fun to collect anymore these days (since ~2019, honestly).

And a bunch of grey dealers have been putting out YouTube videos explaining and justifying their existence. They exist for the noble reason of bridging the gap between MSRP and "market price" and helping out the little guy with flipping and not sitting on $20k in profit that the "little guy" can't normally sit on.

It was on his site yesterday. If I had to guess, it is sold. They don't always remove Chrono24 listings on time.

They should update the listing quickly on Chrono. But I guess that doesn't happen efficiently if the watch is ordered by the reseller website and not by C24.

20k premium seems the trend at the moment.
A friend got offered an LV + 5K for his new Snoopy by a reseller, last week.
Of course he refused, as he is not a flipper and he really likes the watch.
But the hype for this Snoopy 50 is real and the hefty premium is gonna stay.

That looks really good. It’s growing on me. I like the regular speedy bracelet over the flat link on this.

I also really like this combo.

Just to clarify things, is this the bracelet off the newly released Speedmaster Professional?

Thanks.

Looks great on that bracelet!

People gotta remember why omega put it on the strap with the tang buckle. You can't have a caseback that freaking cool and not have it on full display, the bracelet hides some of it unfortunately.

After some time, you'll tend to forget even this caseback.

Do you know if the bracelet and end links from the outgoing Moonwatch would fit this case?

It's highly likely, but I'm not sure.
