New to omega

Can I ask what are the most sought after pieces in omega space? Something that is equivalent to rolex daytona and AP royal oak?

Wow you are lucky. Hot reference at the moment, it’s pricey, but there are very few.
Consider it, if you like it.

Considering that there are probably less than 50 EW 321 right now in the world I doubt we’re talking about the same thing then.

Got the same feeling. But, maybe OP is truly lucky!

OP if you get it, post some pics.

Yea it’s frankly pretty hard to tell the difference between the 321 and just a regular Speedmaster. It’s why the 321 just won’t be as big of a hit and won’t get to the status of a SS Daytona. The 321 is really for the super Speedmaster fan, and it makes sense that Omega is making production extremely limited as there are few people that will really really desire it.

The Snoopy on the other hand is a huge hit, Snoopy 45 is massive and is harder to get than a SS Daytona (and more expensive). I think the Snoopy 50 will be a big hit and very hard to get as well if you didn’t get your deposit in.

Outside of that, I don’t see any current production Omega watches that are hard to obtain. Some say the Bond watch, but I don’t believe it is that difficult if you really looked.

There are of course plenty that were limited editions or previous production that you can’t get anymore which are hard to get, but those obviously not being in production anymore are only found on the pre-owned market. Mostly Speedmaster I’d say.

Omega is more about quality and availability. I love my Seamaster Professional 300M.

Current Omega models generating a lot of buzz are the Snoopy and Ed White. However, I wouldn’t say that these or any other Omega model are sought after in the same way as the Daytona or Royal Oak.

The Rolex and AP are “regular” models that are seemingly very difficult to source directly from the AD. Omega, while arguably putting out similar quality to Rolex, don’t really have any regular models that are that hard to buy at retail. Omega also tends to make a whole bunch of variants on their watches, resulting in loads of “limited” editions...these vary in their desirableness in the market. In short, there are lots of excellent Omegas out there that you can buy today. Whether this is a good or bad thing depends on your perspective. I think it’s a good thing.

Few people? What? I think you're inverting the whole supply & demand situation
