Was having fun with this one yesterday. Very hard to capture the beauty of its dial

What about the blue bezel Seamaster 300m to round out all the omega Tokyo editions?

Nice. Photos?!

Depending on value declared and carrier either you got away with it or they send it through the post in a few weeks.

Congrats.

Looks brilliant!

Why do you have stickers on the Daytona?

Thank you - I just haven’t removed them yet :) the AD forgot to remove one or two.

The Omega is a much taller watch - and the bracelet adjustment mechanism (whatever it’s called) is superb. Perhaps even better than the Rolex easylink... don’t “love” the bracelet, but I love the adjusting mechanism!

That panda look is great - mitsukoshi still the best of them all though!

But I get it...not a Rolex.

I’ve had it over a week now and love it. The dial could be a teeny bit more “white” but it’s a stunningly gorgeous watch. Not sure it has many fans around though - but I’m certainly one of them!

Looks Great !

Might even get a boost in value since the 2020 Edition of the Games will be unique because of covid.

As far as I know there is no 2019 Mituskoshi, it was a limited production in the early 2000’s. There have been variations called something else (35th edition, the Tokyo 2020, etc), but no re-run of the actual Mitsukoshi. I am sure there are other people better educated than me on this who can give more detailed info!

Beautiful watch, congrats OP!

Better looking than the Daytona, IMO.

Only Speedmaster professional case pandas officially made by Omega (not frankens people mashed together with dials) are 3 releases. The Mitsukoshi (300 units), 35th anniversary of the Apollo XI Mission (3500 units), and the Tokyo 2020 Panda (2020 units).

Thank you.

I believe there was the Omega Speedmaster Reduced “Marui”, another Japan only edition, 2,000 were made I guess. They don’t seem too popular, but I like them too. Pic below

Hence why I said professional case. But yes there was the reduced Marui and it's still unclear to me for many was made.

Got this watch in for someone who requested it. The best Speedmaster in steel I have ever seen.
