Anyone think we'll still get a delayed Speedy Apollo 13 LE?

I know I know, everyone thinks Omega makes too many limited editions but I was really looking forward to seeing what they did for the 50th anniversary of Apollo 13. Think they'll still produce one?

They were also supposed to be producing another anniversary speedmaster that featured real slices of moonrock for the subdials and the original movement.

They won't miss out on a chance for a 50th Snoopy. I've got my name down for one. As long as it's better than the Apollo 11 50th, that was a disappointment.

I too was disappointed in the Apollo 50th anniversary edition and the sight of Buzz Aldrin's rear end or whatever it was and the price put me off. I have a 70s speedy mk2 and have always wanted a speedy pro. Maybe the 13 LE, if it happens will be the one.

Yeah, the steel 50th ann Apollo 11 wasn't the greatest and the while the gold one was lovely, not particularly inclined to pay that kind of money for a speedy. Quite keen on the 321 for obvious reasons and was hoping that the Apollo 13 would be a snoopy/321 combo but suspect I'll be out of luck that happens!
