There was a moment when I thought I'd buy it. Then it became clear that the 57 made much more sense for me. Ultimately it wasn't a contest, and I haven't given the CK a second thought.
Shall we have a CK 859 Roll Call?
Not only would it be interesting to see how many of us are fortunate to possess this beauty, but this may also help persuade or push other members βover the edge.β Iβm thinking Art (Dr No) and Tony (aperna) in particular. I can sense they are almost there...
I was hanging out with my buddy Marc yesterday . . .
. . . and he's tried on a CK at an AD. I'll get there eventually, Mach. And for the sake of my wallet I hope I'm not pushed over the edge. Thanks for calling the roll! There should be at least a dozen replies in all. Best, Art
You're doing a helluva good job, Mach! . . .
. . . although in all honesty it would be difficult to add any watch this year after my recent acquisitions. Next year would be more feasible. A modern manual winding Omega is on my essentials list but I can hold out for another homage, like a Ranchero or...
Thank you for participating, S F! With a dozen NWAs, . . .
Hopefully, your CK 859 gets some well-deserved wrist time!π
Thirteen (13) total on this thread. BUT, I know of at least four other members . . .
Gerard (jlux) Henrik (shortys home) Lu (Lu-San_Francisco) D (D-TIME1) Thus, we're currently at seventeen (17) total for the community!!!π₯
It's striking to see just how popular and clubbable this great watch has become in such a short time. Will Omega learn? Ease up on marketing and rapid-fire hash-rehash, dip into its vast store of historical references, and people will respond warmly.
It certainly helps too that this is a regular production watch, which is again demonstration that you don't need to slap an LE label on a watch for it to turn a trick in the market. In the end, its presence on my feeds helped me go a different way. So I d...
Agree 100%! I saw the blue dial Speedmaster β57 a couple of weeks ago . . .
But, I really want to see the black sandwich dial edition! ...
Oops I might have replied to the wrong thread, because my initial observations were about the CK sector dial that's quickly become popular.
On re-reading though my post wasn't a complete disaster, but I apologise for the snafu. The sandwich dial 57 is on the way and I'll put it up here when it arrives. Best regards.
Hello Mach!! Regret to say I canΒ΄ t participate... still! As I am still patiently waiting for mine to arrive to my Country. Threads like this one only add more fuel to the fire of my anxiety!! Lol!
So many wonderful pictures of a superb offering by Omega! I hope to post mine soon as I filled my order very early as soon as the watch was shown in the media. Keep enjoying and loving your watches dear friends! Cheers! Abel
How about a limited edition Railmaster for the WatchProSite community . . .
. . . with a white dial?
Mine has just arrived at the AD and I will have it Tuesday! Pics forthcoming...
Not a speedy of course, but Tuesday is a fine day to pick up the CK859 as well!
Maybe a bit late.. But still in time, I trust..
Got the AD call last week; thus checking in CK 859.. Have to say, really love it !! A cute & friendly sector dial face.. Not bad, the Verso side.. Real pleasure already to wear it ! HAGWE & Best to all, hs. ...
A few weeks late, h - my apologies! . . .
. . . just saw your post now. Congratulations on the acquisition! CK 859 is truly a fitting companion for your wrist . . . a gentleman's watch, thru and thru. Art
As they say, better late . . .
. . . than never! Joining you with a vintage Ξ© chronometer . . . . . . on my wrist this Fourth of July holiday celebration in America. Art ...
