Incoming 3523.81 Japan Speedmaster Triple Date 2002

[Maxtor]

I almost bought this model 3 months ago but pulled back. Found another one this week from a Trusted Ebay Japan Seller and managed to win the auction.

Apparently this is a JDM only watch and only 1000 were made.

Here are pictures from Eiji's posting (if I can get it to work).

Any triple date fans out there?

Doh! Good point, sorry!

[Maxtor]

I understand that the blue dial with arabic numbers is only for Japan and limited to 1000 pieces. I think they also did one in black dial with arabic in the same quantity (different reference number). It is in transit now and I am excited to get it.

what is the size of that thing?

[Maxtor]

39mm

Great watches guys: I almost purchased a 3510 reduced size with the blue/white dial, apparently a Japanese model. I failed to get it on a few auctions, then moved over to the Rolex brand- though I might pick one up one day...

Your triple date is so nice, a local store has one in near new condition, with boxes, etc for $2,400. It's a great looking watch, the only thing that worries me is that my Rolex contacts keep telling me that the Omega's don't gain/retain value the way Rolex models do... I don't know if that's correct, I think the Omega's like these are simply at a lower price point... and will retain value,.... Your thoughts...?

Here's mine; lovely understated "go-anywhere" watch.

A little too busy for my own tastes, but neat watches nonetheless.

Thanks for the pictures and good wishes. I have an Explorer for days I feel uncomplicated and I wanted this one for the days when I need all the help I can get.

[Maxtor]

I picked it up yesterday and it looks great.

Just got the extra links put in and it is good to go.

[sea-dweller]

Opps, just realise forgot to set the day for the Omega Speedmaster Day-Date Japan 2002 Limited Edition 38mm.

[Maxtor]

Great shots. Love the black version with silver subdials (I think the day and month printing in white on black inside the sub-dials is a better design choice).

[joe100]

The Japanese always get cooler stuff

[jms_w]

My first automatic ever. After 6 years it is only 0.5s slow per day but I don't wear it much unfortunately.

[Regis]

I think my next watch will be the Triple Date. It would be nice if you could set the 24 hour sub dial for a second time zone.

Yah. I agree totally agree to that, as I have a Chronoswiss Tora Chronograpgh with Calibre:C.743 (Base Calibre: Valjoux 7750) with the modified (24 hour sub dial for a second time zone) GMT function.





and heres my another watch with the same base calibre as the Omegas (Valjoux 7751) The Longines Master Collection Phase De Lune.





Or another of a Triple Date Function watch. The Louis Erard 1931 Phase De Lune Squelette with ETA 2824-2 and Dubois Dépraz 9000 module.



Hope its ok to share them here.

[Maxtor]

Very cool watches. Thanks for sharing.

My wife liked my blue triple date so I had the bracelet adjusted down to her size and gave it to her to wear as a weekend watch. Looks amazing on her.

I love the watch but only thing I would change is the silver bezel which makes it a bit too bright for me... if she gives it back to me I might try to find a black or blue bezel that would fit... does anybody know if this would be possible?

Yeah. I down sized the 3523.51 to past it down to my wife too. As I love the Omega Triple Date Design so much and was told that they are going to discontinue this design and movement and concentrate on their co-axial movements only. That's where I decided to get the 3220.50 with the 100m water resistant that makes it more perfect.

[sUpemezU]

Oh. One more to add to the triple date family. My Zenith Chronomaster T Phase De Lune with Zenith Calibre El Primero 410Z.

[Maxtor]

Sharp Zenith.

I have a simple El Primero HW and love it.
