Omega Speedie Tuesday. Poll: What's your favorite Speedmaster among these 2: Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games or Alaska?
Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games:
Alaska Project:
Alaska Project:
For me, the Alaska, but the " Rising Sun " is growing on me...
For you?
Best,
Nicolas
No snoopy?
Alaska no doubt. Not even close for me even if Tokyo is nice... but how is Olympic watch with no Olympic Games to be received in future?
2-0 for the Alaska. As for the absence of Olympic Games, the Rising Sun may well be a collector because of this oddity. [nt]

I didn't know this one. Two details I like: The 20 in Red, very well done, and the strap! If only they changed the date for an applied 3!!! [nt]

The date does stick out more than usual! It could be irritating. But overall a very good offer (nt)

Strap
I believe it is sold with NATO, rubber, and white croc all in the box... I like the red lollipop as well as looks like the flag. 39.5mm and 600m water resistant makes for a sporty watch in spirit with the games. And yes no date would have been better I agree !
Rising Sun 🌞
Though I really like the Alaska, with it’s spaceship-like hands for the subdials, the Rising Sun is more refined imo.

Tokyo for sure, but Snoopy is still No. 1
I liked the Tokyo AT very much as well. Amazing and exclusive dial effect, yet still pretty elegant.
I was going for the Alaska until I saw the Mitsukoshi dial...gorgeous. Regards Kev. [nt]

4-3 for the Alaska, since the Mitsukoshi is not in the battle. ;) [nt]

I like them both
I regretted not getting the project alaska. Twice in fact I gave up the opportunity. It is beautiful, historically unique and a big regret.
1) Bought a GG mickey mouse instead of this. In hindsight, Project Alaska would be better. I flipped it, and made $3.5k on the Mickey. But if I had the Project Alaska, maybe I would not have flipped it and the intrinsic value is higher
2) Went to the store and got a Panerai instead of this. What was I thinking then?
Oh my, regrets I have so many.
Very troublesome to get (Japan domestic model)
Very very unlikely I can get this version. I missed the Vancouver Seamaster too(one of my regrets).
Currently waitlisted for a Deepsea, and a BB58. I must not give in to temptations. I must not give in to temptations.
Polaris next edition is on my list too, and so is a Lange saxonnia 37mm in white gold.
Oh my my...the possibilities are endless.
Fingers crossed
It’s getting hard to get shortlisted to purchase the deepsea cameron here, but I gotta be patient on this.
It’s a little ironic the deepsea costs more on the grey market than the AD market.
Phew!
