I don't actually know; it was a few threads ago after BitterAnon failed again. I think it's hilarious; it's the rear view mirror that kills me.

They've been getting a lot of press lately; I'm sure they're fine, but I find their aesthetic boring.

5) Omega restricts their replacement parts to ADs and Omega-trained Independent watchmakers who have an Omega parts account. If you service with Omega, they replace all crowns, pushers, hands, and movement parts as part of the cost of servicing, and then external aesthetic parts like the bezel, crystal, etc. can be replaced with discussion and authorization of the customer. That will cost extra. Then they get the movement within spec, they pressure test it, and polish it back to 'like new condition'; the philosophy from Omega is that the watch should be in the condition that it could be sold instore after servicing (that stuff is within the normal cost of servicing). So, if Anon is paying 5k and getting a like-new Speedmaster 1861, he is saving at least 1k (assuming the other 1k is for box and papers). It's worth it.

As I did this with my 1861, my 2254.50, my 2599.80, and my Mark 40, I've tested this process and come out the winner every time.

The ONLY time I would not recommend this is if the watch has Tritium hands. In that case, do NOT send it to Omega, and try to buy the best example you can find as complete as you would like. Tritium Omegas get you into the territory of 'vintage' watches, whereas anything Superluminova and past is still modern enough that replacing parts does not alter the value of the watch.

The Anon who is asking about this doesn't have to follow my advice or anyone else's; my advice however is coming from direct experience over several Omegas. Quite honestly, I don't know why people don't do this more often, but I know why YTubers don't suggest it; it's something that circumvents their online businesses.

Good luck!

An excellent choice, TudorAnon. Wear it in good health, and absolutely show us as many pics as you can!

I agree that you have to see them in person; they're different in real life, and they mog the hell out of other watches in that pricepoint.

I've seen a YT video or two with these...the sweep is wonderful, and the case shape is distinct for modern watches. I'm sure he'll like it, and be thankful for whom it came from.

>>17881622
If you haven't already, I'd seriously recommend trying one on before purchasing. They wear uniquely.

>>17881639
Yes; to me, the Muehle is the kind of watch one would wear in '1984' (especially with the skeleton hands, shrouded lugs, and off center crown). Does it hold good time?

>>17881657
I think they're smaller than the original release, non?

>>17855431
It's rude to take credit for another Anon's hard work! What are you wearing Fren?

>>17855433
I disagree about the 'real knife'; SAKs still provide all one needs in daily life. Agreed about the cork screw though; while my SAK always worked, it is still inferior to a proper modern opener.

There was an issue with one of the pinions causing excessive wear in the hole that it goes through on the mainplate; this would cause the movement to stop when the chronograph was started; many first-gen owners complained about this, including people who got the gold/gold reissue. Apparently Omega identified the issue and rectified it, so now it's a rare (or 'fixed') issue. Unlike the 3xxx movements of Rolex, of course. The only downside that I can see about owning one is what I mentioned above regarding servicing a co-axial. ANY co-axial needs to be serviced by Omega or an independent who has had the training. This restricts who can help you, and increases the cost. That's one of the reasons I don't want to own one. The other reason is a simple one that my watchmaker informed me about; due to the silicon hairspring, if there is any damage to the hairspring, it must be replaced. You can't shape a silicon hairspring; it is formed as a 'perfect' piece, and if there's damage, you can't repair it. Watchmakers hate stuff like that, because in the long run it becomes a disposable part.

I have concerns about the 3861 aesthetic choices, but that's my own concern. In terms of performance, they are superior to the older Speedies by every important metric, so if it's your first Speedy, I can't see a reason not to get one. Go second-hand though, so you can get a better price.

I was there yesterday but wasn't posting....they're all VERY out of touch with things. There was a closed thread talking about concerns over flags and if posters are 'supporting' a certain country in a certain military dispute. It's sad.

I know!
