'57 Speedmaster…WOW!!

Anyone fortunate enough to have one of these (borrowed picture)?

Are they even released by Omega?

STUNNING timepiece!

Excellent taste!...

I don't have one (yet) but they are available....

I agree they are killer pieces... such a beautiful modernization and upgrade to the original...

especially love the Gold models...

Great looking in photos. New movement/case models seem ridiculously thick though. Also, the retail price is really off putting.

Ahh...but the thickness issue is overcome by a caseback crystal that actually recedes down to support the movement - thereby giving the case a thinner illusion....

I personally love the thicker cases, but this is a nice compromise...
