No hesalite for rm and sm but it was a cherry anyway... Omega wins hard this year... I'm not even sure if I'm awake (stuck in nightmare) on Rolex's side. Trilogy box for me most likely...... Not buying new Rolex helps free up funds.

I think you'll be able to find the normal limited editions (3557 lot) without much issues from ads etc... That trilogy box on the other hand..... Just to be safe I already talked to boutique rep and put in my request for the trilogy box already..... No new Rolex this year makes this decision easier.

I was too looking forward to a new Rolex this morning. The rumored Daytona Coke. It didn't happen.
I then went to Omega site looking for what they will release for BASEL. Found the 60TH ANNIVERSARY LIMITED EDITION Speedy. I currently have a CK2998. After looking at all three of the watches offered and decided to put my name in to purchase the Trilogy Set.

Good Luck

I'd hate to be the downer....but I am having second thoughts of the trilogy box after semi-confirming they're adding a trilogy # under the Speedmaster script on the trilogy box.....I am absolutely floored and confused why they'd do this to ruin a perfectly good thing.......I would never ruin that dial over some extra straps and a box....no matter how cool it'd be:



If this is confirmed and can't be opted out. I'd far rather buy the watches seperately.

EDIT: OK Wow, I just saw the source of that picture....it's on all three:

https://www.watchadvisor.com/news/ba...mited-editions

I am cancelling this....no way I'm going through with having that on all three watches.

Man, that's seriously lame.

I am very tempted by the Speedy, but can live without the other two so this isn't an issue for me.

I just don't understand why they couldn't add an engraving to the case back.

I moved away from trilogy thoughts when I read that as well. Don't like the Patek 40th engravings either.

My guess is the box has a long term collector value but it's not great for the wearer with that extra text.

Plus I flip so much getting the box is a big risk. If you want to flip one, that's a problem. Individual is the way to go. Plus, each comes with two straps so the 6 isn't greater than then sum of the parts strapwise.

I just need to know if the bracelets have PCLs or not and adjustable clasps.

Center links are brushed. Outer links are polished.

I don't know for sure, but I can almost guarantee that the clasp is adjustable.

"All three watches are cased in brushed and polished stainless steel and feature a black 'tropical' dial, with vintage indexes slightly deepened to allow filling with Super-LumiNova. The stainless steel bracelets have been updated for strength and aesthetics and feature a retro-style OMEGA logo on the clasp."

From website.....all pictures show no pcl.....although everyone's dying to see the retro clasp and seeing if it's adjustable....knowing it's retro I don't think it's going to be quick adjustable but anything can happen heh.

Omega's Web page says each watch is engraved.
My salesman is sending email to his omega rep to find out about the dial on the watch.

Thanks guys. I browsed their website and could not find infos on the clasp so I asked here. First time in years that I'm really happy with their new watches.

Mine too but I'm not optimistic....you can clearly see the trilogy # text on the box set picture if you zoom in on their webpage...I find it deceiving they made no real mention of this though on their website. Terrible shame.

cant believe the interest in all of these over on OF. i put a deposit down at my Omega Boutique for the 300 and the salesman said he'd taken dozens of orders. im guessing the Speedy/SM at the very least sell out very quickly. omega knocked the cover off the ball with these. meanwhile, Rolex took an existing watch and added some paint and a few mm of metal to it.
