Compared to the BLNR, the 321 ed white is the far superior watch.

Which is why I have the white ceramic Daytona paired with the 321 Speedy in the collection. They make a great pair!

the calibre 321 in gold is really sexy but only for the hardcore fans.

quality wise i would go omega but the BLNR is more practical

Get the ED WHITE and keep the BLNR too, they are both amazing watches.

I have both - 321 is in a different league. BLNR lives with the daily beaters, 321 with my APs.

Anybody suggesting a 3861 most likely hasn’t handled the new 321. The 321 is another level. That being said I would never give up a BLNR. Find another way.

It is about what you want. If the Ed White is it, then do the deal.

Am I the only person who hasn’t heard of an Ed white or am I being completely stupid here?

You’re not alone. I don’t keep up with speedys to know all the variations.

But i have heard of it tho and never really cared to find out more as i’d be happy with a regular basic speedy moonwatch professional. (Or whatever it’s called)

I'd pass on a straight trade deal. But then again never been a huge Speedy fan.

Haven't seen one in person, but surprised to hear that 321 is more refined vs BLNR

i just don't get the attraction of the new 321. its just a copy of the original. rolex and patek aren't releasing identical copies of vintage watches.

go buy a vintage ed white instead!

Speedmaster w/ straight lug case, other nice details and re-edition of Cal. 321 movement. 321 is to Speedy Pro as AP Royal Oak 15202 is to 15000 (not my observation, but spot on).

I have a 321. There is something special about it. Very difficult to explain via words or photos but when you pick one up the finish and quality is dramatically different to the vanilla version

I person would do this but if possible I’d keep the gmt and get the 321 on top. Both are great.

3000+ posts here and that’s still something you need to google? Oh right, that was a joke

I like the new 321 Ed White, but I would never trade a BLNR for it. In fact, if I wanted a Speedy, I would get the current model of the Speedy Pro and call it a day.
