I picked up my 321 Ed White

Let me start by saying "wow". Blown away. Like I'm considering selling my black dial ceramic Daytona now blown away.

The piece has been talked about a lot but man it's a winner. So comfortable on the wrist as well.

The biggest point for me is the legibility. I can't read the black daytona at all and this is amazingly legible including the sub dials.

The new bracelet is finally on par with the oyster.

I love the manual wind and the movement is stellar for a piece in this price range.

I love the vintage cues and the loup in the presentation box is a nice touch to enjoy the finer details.

Bravo Omega...you may have finally out Rolexed Rolex!

Pix to follow of course...can't post without pix or it didnt happen lol

And once again, the OB was stellar as well. Their service is amazing and their passion for the pieces is terrific. I can't tell you how many times I've had to explain to dealers what the Patek reference is about or details of the new Rolex...they know nothing about their brand while the Omega team is supremely knowledgeable.

Go to the 5th Ave boutique you won't be disappointed!

Superb. This piece plays in a different league, simply amazing. Congratulations!

Can I ask you if you were on the full deposit list?
Thanks

Ps: just saw you got the Canopus as well, so I guess deposit list doesn’t necessarily matter at this point. Double congrats!!

Damn. Both stunners! If I could justify a $50K watch, I'd have that Canopus Speedmaster yesterday.

Took a walk in Central Park and just sat on the couch to admire it. It’s amazingly balanced on the wrist. I knew I had it on while walking around but it was like it was just part of my wrist.

I’m liking this thing more and more!!

Congratulations! The 321, the Canopus, and your platinum Daytona are three heavy hitter sport chronographs in three different white metals!
