The moon watch is currently the only heritage Omega can proud of, but Omega is ruining its resale value by releasing too many special edition of Speedmaster, becoming not so special anymore.

This is so true. But I guess it must be profitable, must be a lot of fans out there who's been buying Schumacher Eidition, Tokyo 2020 edition, Japan Edition, Alaska Project and god knows what.

I had 3 gen Omega timepieces in my life. But, none is left for completely idiotic reasons. All became collectible and now fetch 3-5 fold prices I originally paid. What a moron I am.

First one was a classic, Prussian blue waved dial, all Swiss made SS seamaster, which I paid for about $1700 20+ years ago.



Second one was a réédition of the Dynamic chrono. I don't remember what I paid for it, but it was something really hefty

The third and the last one had a great and strange story behind. I first bought a Breitling SuperOcean 1500m, which I had to return as the crown fell off while I was trying to lock it. Than I bought o Zenith El Primero HWwith some couple of £s atop from the same dealer. The, the watch started to gain 5 minutes a day after a couple of months of fair use. I was really frustrated, and returned it to the watch to the dealer, now swapping with an Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch. It started to gáin +5 minutes a day in just a week's time. This time I got really angry and returned the watch for a swap with a Rolex datejust 36mm. Now I am keeping it and very happy.

But all the Omegas have gone. And I am really sorry that I sold the first two, and I returned the third one and for not keeping any of themImage

Below pictures of the watches in question. Rollie not thereImageImageImageImageImage
