Other forums are quoting 50k euros which seems obscene. They'll be a regular steel version along sometime next year no doubt.

The movement is stunning though, and it's impressive that they've restarted production after such a long time.

It's not overpriced! The market diktatez if it's overpriced and this will sell out and makes it not overpriced! Bubbles don't exist!

PS I admire Omega for clearly milking the subject for all it's worth.
I didn't say it was overpriced, I said it was obscene.

If it is 50k then that's an obscene amount of money for a watch. I thought 10k was alot, but then my watch doesn't have bits of moon stuck to it :-)

For sure it'll sell well without a doubt!

I knew you'll get here eventually. I was hoping actually. Comparing this watch to an Aventador to make a point, you have to be kidding. This watch is like a BMW M140i with retro wheels based on design from 1980's and the trim inserts made with a mixture of cosmic dust and the iDrive controller made out of precious metals. If someone told you you have to pay an Aventador price for it because it's a limited edition commemorating first time BMW partnered with Colgate (hence the M colours on front grille) you'd tell them to check their heads. I mean any sane person would/should.
Well there is meaning and context, mine being that 50k is an obscene amount of money "to me" for a watch, whatever that might be. To somebody else, that might not be obscene amount of money or objectively a lower amount (10k) might also be seen as obscene. It doesn't need to reflect negatively..... Something could also be obscenely good.

That's before you even get to a value of (or your value of) an object.

I can't judge if it's overpriced or not, it could well be good value for all I know, especially being made of rare materials using a historic movement. Again it depends on the person and their value of an object.

If someone sees it as overpriced then it's their right to do so, I don't think they'll be too worried about others such as yourself trying to convince them otherwise.

Try not to worry about it too much, you'll age quicker 😂
