Thanks a lot for the kind note, centurionone. I’ll stay healthy to enjoy the watches. [nt]

The white dials are very appealing, and for me I would want this one over the modern Snoopy.
Enjoy it.
This one is starting to age nicely, and will be a nice vintage soon...
I think it will be a crowd favorite soon, or already has.
Thanks Jay.
Thanks Jay.
That´s a great purchase Raymond! Congrats! Fantastic timepiece...
... I share your thoughts with this model.
I passed the opportunity in 2008 to buy it when visiting the paris Omega Boutique.
Now I´m hunting for one example of this model. Eleven years later that my taste and collection has evolved I just feel I badly need it! Lol!
I wish you´ll enjoy it so much!!
Cheers! Abel
I knew you’ll like it Abel and appreciate your kind words...
Looks like there are a few NOS samples still available but it’s “sky” high asking.
I’m lowering my expectations a bit for these since it’s 11-years already so have to find a balance between what to get.
I wish and hope you find yours too, and you’ve known to always be successful, so congrats in advance.

My big pleasure to comment my friend Raymond! Yes, I have been searching and see rather concerned how prices keep going up. Guess it is the trend...
... In our watch collecting world lately. How crazy this sport is turning!
Thank you so much for your good wishes! I hope to find mine before they are beyond my budget!
Again: big congrats on your catch and enjoy it so much! Abel
What a find, congratulations!
You have some great Omegas, but this one is a real unique one. Enjoy it!
Omega does deserve some recognition for making nice Speedmasters...
Although people might get tired of them milking it, think of it as giving varieties to the audiences.
We just have to cheery pick what we want.
Thank you for your kind words. Cheers 🍻

Ok....now this will go to the attic or safe :)
Nah, I'm going to send in for service it, then wear it.

I can confirm your observation about these Apollo Speedies . . .
. . . sitting on dealer's shelves.
I took this photo in 2010. Can't say for sure if it was the same one, but the Omega boutique in Beverly Hills had one on display for a very long time.
Now, they're practically unobtainable. As they say in France, "Better late than never."
If only we can go back in time, Art....if only...
But no...hence my actions.
This one was from Switzerland, and previous owner was able to purchase it in Jul 2012 with a discount...he's happy to let it go with a nice "appreciation"

Yes, I confirm... I could get one for 2200 / 2300 Euros at that time. [nt]

I thought the MSRP was $5600 at released, it can dropped that much, wow....The dilemma is if this one still sells at that price...will we still get it? [nt]

In Euros it was around 3500. But it was a not a big success, at that time. [nt]

Dear Raymond, many congratulations my friend
And look at that Alaska minty condition ! A good hunting indeed.
His brother says hello.
Have a great weekend, and with this new toy, I am sure it will be
Best regards to all home too

Hey buddy and fellow Alaskan Project owner...
I’m pleasantly surprised of the conditions too.
May I ask if you also find some small difficulty winding this watch? The crown is a little hidden under/inside the case, like Snoopy.
Thanks for the well wishes and I need to put on those cool Velcro’s too.
Hi hi Raymond
I don’t recall too much difficulty in the winding; although I would say some of my older speedmasters do wind tighter (than modern ones with cal 1861) and probably do need some servicing.
Best regards

My snoopy winds quite crisps so maybe it’s the age...
Or my fingers are sweaty due to the excitement 😬
Nevertheless, I’ll send in for service since it been at least 7-10 years now.
Thank you.

I was offered one by the Omega Boutique at Greenbelt 4 mall in Makati, Philippines back in 2012, but I declined. What was I thinking?
