I'm not much of a speedy fan but now that Swatch and Omega have collaborated on the moonswatch, it really cheapens the image of the real moonwatch IMO. Omega is after short term gains. Rolex is about long term gains. Rolex knows how to market their watches so much better than Omega. People go online and click to buy an Omega. People aspire to and hope to earn the chance to buy a Rolex. There’s no comparison. One is a commodity; one is a treasure, in the eyes of many. It all boils to marketing failures and marketing successes.
Why is the Daytona worth so much more on the secondary market compared to the Speedmaster? Easy answer: Hype and inaccessibility. I agree that Omega hasn't helped itself by releasing so many special editions either. Seems like they feel that this is the only way to maintain interest in the Speedmaster.
@@mywatchjourney6579 what you are saying is nothing but ironic. First of all, even though i like omega watches i am not gonna fight over a company which i have no connection with personally. But having said that, it's important to understand that you can't look for innovation all the time. What has been so Innovative about the daytona for the last 10 years? Whereas omega made speedmaster variants with the spirate system, chrono chime in them; within the last 3 years. If that's not innovation i don't know what is. Innovation is not their problem, at least to my eyes. They just need to make the cases smaller and improve on the bracelets.
@@exploretheinternet2334 I agree with pretty much all that you've said. Especially on the bracelet. The Rolex glidelock clasp is exceptional! Omega needs to match that at least. But what I meant is that it's very hard to innovate in mechanical watches. It's old tech. There's not much you can do. That's why we keep seeing dial color updates and snoopy logos lol.
What do you think if it is later proven with irrefutable evidence that the Moon Landings never ever occurred ? Ok, the Speedmaster would have been NASA certified for the Moon Missions but then none would have ever been there… Would these remain Moon Watches or Space Watches ? If I was every buying one it would be a 321 but I would prefer it with a white dial… The problem is that I have some chronographs, some rattrapantes but I hardly ever use these complications… I much prefer the alarm complication which I have in my JaegerLeCoultre Memovox Tribute to Polaris 1968… PS: GAS & FOMO, that’s for Bozos…
McCollum Memo. Oswald acted alone. We were “winning” in Vietnam. Iraq had WMD. Inflation is transitory. There is no Area 51. So yeah man, sure we landed on the moon.😂
