One and only Omega... 321 Incoming!
I got tired of waiting and decided to trade in my 126610LN and some cash on top for it. No regrets. I absolutely love this watch. Feels a lot more special than any Rolex I own.

Congrats! I'm patiently waiting on delivery of my 321.
I would have done that trade as well. It's interesting, pretty much every review you've read on this watch, even from Daytona owners, will usually put it at the front of the pack. IMO this watch is really appreciated by those who prioritize history, rarity, and character in a time piece vs brand recognition by strangers. It's a true connoisseurs piece. Wear it in good health. |

Congrats again! Amongst the Daytona frenzy with small changes creating so many opinions, it is very calming to know that the Ed White 321 is an exact copy of the 105.003 and no future change to the Speedmaster will affect you. Sometimes, brands just get it right the first time and there’s no sense trying to improve on perfection.

Thank you all for your kind comments. This Omega Speedmaster is an exceptional timepiece that I am proud to own and don't plan on ever parting with. FWIW, I was really impressed with the bracelet. Dare I say it feels like a Royal Oak bracelet. Anyways, here are some new photos of this beaut, along with a SOTC. I need to work on my watch photography but here's the best I got using my phone. :)

Great photos! And yes the bracelet is fantastic. Love how thin it is yet so sturdy. Honestly hard to choose which is more comfy between this and my datejust jubilee.

Love it! I have one and also put the 321 bracelet on my FOIS and it’ll work in the 60th Anniversary…hoping they release a new FOIS with the 321 in SS as well!
