A New Speedmaster Limited Edition? Again?

I assume a lot of us got the email this morning from Omega. Anyone have any clues as to what it might be?

Here’s the email:

Dear Speedy fan,
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
As a way of saying thank you for your support in 2017, we'd like to place you at the front of the queue for our exciting new Speedy to be released this year.

Whether you're a new owner, or on the waiting list, we know you're a passionate Speedy fan and you're going to love our 2018 edition.

Thank you again for supporting OMEGA this year.
I wish you, your family and friends a wonderful 2018.
Raynald Aeschlimann

It’s just what Omega does.

I must admit, I had totally forgotten about the Speedy Tuesday and forgot I was even still on the waitlist. Sending out this email serves to rebait the hook a little bit.

Yep, got it this morning.

The formula works, it will probably sell out in a few minutes again, let's just hope they deliver on time this one... my Speedy Tuesday has not arrived yet.

I’d forgotten that I was on the list too, except for that other reminder about six months ago when they sent us the Speedy Tuesday magazine.

I know it’s been talked to death, but I think I finally have limited edition fatigue. This email didn’t elicit any excitement at all. I am curious what it will be, though.

I received the email as well. How large is the top of the list? (maybe limitless as a regular production)

In typical Omega fashion it didn't take much time to release Speedy Tuesday 2018 edition ! Perhaps something other brands would never dare to do but can't blame Omega for not leaving money on the table with so much people left on the waiting list !
Now I want to see what this will do with prices of current Speedy Tuesday model.

I'm still hoping for something similar to the Mitsukoshi Speedmaster.

That was my hopes, but after talking to boutique managers that has alluded this release to me for the past months.....it's not looking like that direction. I don't want to say too much because it'd be just rumors and I promised the managers not to talk about it much....but they already supposedly have a good idea what it's going to be.

If you'd like to relieve the burden of not being able to tell anyone what this is, please feel free to PM me with the details.

I was excited to be at the top of the 2018 list. But I forgot that I was not even on the Speedy Tuesday waitlist.

I got this email too. I was initially excited, but my guess after seeing that so many got this email is that this is one of their "limited" editions that consists 10,000+ pieces and ends up still being available years later (e.g., Spectre Aqua Terra).

It looks like it could be #SpeedyTuesday part two, Apollo 7 or 8 50th anniversary (unlikely), Skylab 45th anniversary (also unlikely), or something else entirely. If it's #SpeedyTuesday part two, I'm probably out; I wasn't crazy about them naming a watch after a hashtag the first time, and really won't be if they do it again. That being said, hopefully I'm wrong and it's a really cool LE with under 2,000 pieces made.

If I mark my email as "Unread" and then open it again, do I go back to the top of list?

Hard to understand Omega's marketing approach. They listed the Speedy Tuesday online during a time of day that those on the west coast unless awake at wee hours of the morning had no chance of reserving one. Then, take almost 10 months to ship Trilogy sets, followed by no new non limited Railmasters available almost 10 months after Basel with no availability date in site... now another LE Speedy. How about deliver last year's watches before announcing more they can't deliver. Get's frustrating...end of rant.

Here ,Here & good rant too . Does anyone know when the new non LE Railmasters will be available. called in at my local Omega Boutique again last week & assistant just looked at me blankly when I asked about delivery dates . In fact, I had to show him a Picture of one ,as he was sure there was only LE Railmasters available .

I'm pretty sure the OB on 5th Avenue in NYC had them when I visited the boutique back in mid December.

Shoot! I heard that does work. I guess I'm at the bottom of the list again.

Oh wait, I'll just re-open my email too

I received the email, too, and I never even tried to buy the Speedy Tuesday. I went with the 60th Anniversary Speedy and have been very happy with my choice. The only LE that might get me interested is if it had the Calibre 321, but that would probably be priced beyond my pocketbook.

I got this same email along with a "sorry you haven't gotten your SpeedyTuesday yet, maybe in January!" Maybe one of you chaps on the waitlist will get lucky as I've lost interest and plan on saying no thanks.

Just visited NYC boutique today and they had both the RM LE and Seamaster LE. No more Speedys.

My SpeedyTuesday has arrived, I'm picking it up this weekend - anyone wants it?

I'm done with Omega, I cannot handle all these limited this and that anymore.

Thanks but I will wait until they are available in the UK , or until my next visit to NY which will probably be later in the year . I think Omega may be trying to copy Rolex in, demand is greater than supply on certain watches.
