Some recent buyers are reporting 10%-13% max discount at the ADs for Seamasters. Ofcourse gray dealers are a bit more but not more than 15%-20%. Days of 30% discount are long gone. |

Okay, that is like folks buying them before new model release and rumored price increase. It's not the usual demand on Moonwatch. Buying in 2018 at 40% discount and now buying at 18% increase on MSRP is huge difference and different price brackets IMO.

On the most recent launch, at least two of the crew were wearing Speedy Professionals. Very cool to see. I’d love to see the new models start to get some space time logged. |

I like the new version overall, but not enough to go out and buy one right away.
I currently have a ST1 and a 3572.50 (hesalite w/sapphire back) Here's a few things I'd like to point out and a few opinions because mine clearly matter so much. The new bracelet looks a LOT like the Bulova Oceanographer 666 bracelet and also very similar to the older Omega Dynamic Chronograph (I have one). Now this could be a good thing or bad thing depending but I happen to like the bracelet as it's very comfortable and looks aesthetically better than the previous speedmaster one imo. As for the clasp (although another improvement overall) I could do without the lines as it reminds me of a Rimowa Classic, but an improvement nonetheless. A bummer for me is the absence of an applied logo on the Hesalite version. Keep the polished mini links and sapphire front crystal but NO applied logo??? Boooo! The DON, stepped dial, and slight case change are ALL great, so I give those an A+. And of course the price increase... we all knew it was gonna happen. I suppose in the grand scheme of watches these days it's not so bad. If I didn't have a Speedy up until now, I'd definitely consider getting the new one. But having a few versions already and being on the list for the 321, I feel that should satiate my Speed Master appetite.... or so I hope LOL. |

Bracelet looks like the undesirable Speedmaster reduced to me and £5370 in U.K. is not worth it. Omega seem to think they have become Rolex! They have lost their way and what they used to stand for in an overcrowded industry! A shame.

Yes indeed. But like in the 60’s, im sure NASA has a good stock of 1861’s and it may be years before the new model is worn. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The more I see the hesalite & sapphire side by side, the more I want the hesalite.
The step dial on both is a nice touch. |

Hello,
I have waiting for Submariner for two years.. thinking to get Speedmaster (again..I sold it many years ago). Curious about your thoughts, should we expect some discount on these models or those days has gone with Omega? |

Do you really expect a discount at the moment on a watch which hasn't even been delivered to the shops yet?

I don't see any discounts unless you're a longtime customer of an AD. Even then it'll be minimal. If you want a discount, you'll be waiting for a year at least. The days of 30%+ discounts are gone for now.
