Nice video, Bruce. Got a chance to try it on at a boutique in L.A. this weekend. Loved it! As advertised! Already a waitlist of about 40-plus folks as of that day for that store.
I just got my 3861 Sapphire in December, and love it. Love the white dial as well. What really sets this one off is the hands and indices, it would have looked washed out otherwise. Well executed, and maybe years down the road, I will have it in black and white.
I think this is a beautiful watch and in a few years may even be collectable depending on how many they make. However, if I was to buy one and only one it would be the black. Not for resale or collectability, just for the resemblance or the original. I just purchased the the sapphire 3861 with the new clasp and I love it. I know it is not the Hesalite version, but I thought that the sapphire for me would be more resistance to scratches and that polished links give it that modern day pop. However, If I was to buy another one it would be the white. It is a beautiful watch.
Phenomenal video on the philosophies and strategies of acquiring this Moonwatch variant…Rob is spot on …would like to see similar videos like this on other topics …like 3 watch collections…I think we watch nerds are getting tired of the same diamond dozen watch reviews and would like to watch alternatives of deep discussions that concern this hobby 👍😎
My AD called to offer me one. He said it would be about 6 months for me to get it. But I've also seen quite a few kicking around watch groups so who knows. Lol
Why did they wait so long? The white dial smp 300 diver has endured after the hype died down and is still a very popular choice, so I think the speedy will too.
Since this one strayed from the ‘original’, they very well should have made some better upgrades to it. To go along with new applied indices. A ceramic bezel for sure, with a new/different movement to make it an automatic. Just like they made it standard with the sapphire.
nice but am saving for the planet ocean 43.5mm all sedna gold blue dial blue leather strap gold clasp $31k for this Nov23 my b-day. Now i have the blk dial sedna gold seamaster300pro blk rubber with gold buckle. my wife has the red 41mm globemaster red leather strap with sedna gold my daughter 10yr old a casio. we were gona go all rolex but after doing research OMEGA just offers more to the custumers for your money on luxury watches. and no waitlist. if i was to buy a speedmaster i would get the moonphase brown ceramic dial with sedna gold my neightboor has it and omg its a tank.
I don't think it's perfect. I've seen many photos where from a certain angle the indices and hands look very shiny, not super legible. They went with a gunmetal grey pvd coating, in my opinion they should have opted for matte black or blasted black look so it's equally legible from any angle, but it might just be me. This way it's the more elegant Speedy vs the tooly black one, which probably is the reasoning behind it.
Sorry but i think it’s just some silly hype. What’s next? Tiffany blue Moonwatch? The way i see it, it’s just another color. I’d prefer the classic black dial
Thanks for having me on Bruce. Great time all the way around
Looking at the thumbnail I thought this was a parody video where you were interviewing yourself playing 2 different characters! 😂
100%!! 🤣
I was going to comment the same thing!
You have a doppelgänger, Bruce!
Haha we are very similar
So awesome seeing my brother @saltywatchcollector on! Nobody knows a Speedy like he does!
Mucho appreciated brother👊🏻
This thing might actually have the power to make me a one watch guy, just incredible looking
Great to see the excitement generated by you two.
I know there’s a lot of hype around this one, but I think it lives up to the hype.
I am with you

Oh dang that is quite a few
@BruceWilliams 🎉 in many parts of Asia the lines for the 3861 runs into more than 100 in theit boutiques..at zero discount.
The snoopy 45th already had a ceramic bezel with lume, so always surprised they didn’t include it too.
Agreed
Demand has been pretty good so far. Will be interesting to see what availability and demand are a year from now.

Spot on I think
Men, do not shave the beard at or near the bottom of your chin. One or two fingers above your adams apple.
Awesome discussion! Thank you!
Love the enthusiasm you guys are showing for the watch in this video
Tried it on at the boutique last weekend. It’s a beaut.

Hello and thanks for this video. This white porcelain dial Speedmaster will never be a Moonwatch, obviously, but I'm sure it will be a banger.
Can't say I agree with all of the hype surrounding this model, but enjoyed the video.
I appreciate that!

We also recorded more of a rant on Zenith. Should post within a week. I'd love to film with Rob regularly
would love to hear your opinions on the .10th of a second complication on their latest chronographs@@BruceWilliams
I didn’t want to love it as much as I do, but it’s just so beautiful. I’m smitten ❤
This will definitely be my next watch.
Omega: Releasing unlimited limited editions of Speedmaster 🤣🤣
Welcome to Omega
I bought it last week!
Haha yall are covering basically my emotions the past 2 weeks. Would you sell your current black dial moonwatch 2023, and pick this up lol?
😂 nope...love them both! Need both!😂
Put my name down this week. Can’t wait !! I hear guys are getting ones already so it won’t be months I don’t think?
My AD called to offer me one. He said it would be about 6 months for me to get it. But I've also seen quite a few kicking around watch groups so who knows. Lol
Just today i got my Speedy in Black….for second time in my watch journey….but this one is kicking a…what a great watch
White dial white cuff...white dial linen/tan suit...not for me...lovely execution...bit niche...Great video chaps 🔥👌
Lovely watch, but I still prefer the black dial 😅
Didn’t know you were a niner fan! The gold day date does look great with niner gear!
I'd like to get one. Alongside my Grand Seiko Snowflake 😊
Hair height is proportional to excitement level.
This was an 11

I think along the same lines
I think it's very much "meh" for me...a trend watch... I'm selling my speedy, but if i was going for a Speedy, id go for the classic black
nice but am saving for the planet ocean 43.5mm all sedna gold blue dial blue leather strap gold clasp $31k for this Nov23 my b-day. Now i have the blk dial sedna gold seamaster300pro blk rubber with gold buckle. my wife has the red 41mm globemaster red leather strap with sedna gold my daughter 10yr old a casio. we were gona go all rolex but after doing research OMEGA just offers more to the custumers for your money on luxury watches. and no waitlist. if i was to buy a speedmaster i would get the moonphase brown ceramic dial with sedna gold my neightboor has it and omg its a tank.
Big fan of all of those. The gold PO will be lovely in person
My skinny wrists love the reduced!
The reduced is a great watch that gets a ton of crap
Seriously Bruce, what's with the hair? Atomic levels of static in the studio or is it a tribute to There's Something about Mary?
Friends? More like twin brothers
I love the watch but the bracelet I don’t can you get another omega bracelet for this watch
If it had a ceramic bezel its perfect
It's because of the red accent, without it the hype would've at least be halved.
Without the red lettering the watch would look classier imho
They had to differentiate it from the white gold a little bit
Awesome Speedy!…This is a stunning watch_Omega upped the game_Rolex will not be outdone…expect a polar explorer…wishful thinking
Bruce what happened bud? Bruce ate Bruce. Love your channel.
I need to cut down for sure!
@@BruceWilliams great attitude!
I love the hype......LOL
Now, if only the hands were solid black.
the canopus speedy looks perfect and this one dosen't speak to me.
I don't think it's perfect. I've seen many photos where from a certain angle the indices and hands look very shiny, not super legible.

Same with the white smpc markers but I still love it
Also, first 😅
Overpriced and good value a couple of years down the road pre-owned.
Go packers!!!
lol
Sorry but i think it’s just some silly hype. What’s next? Tiffany blue Moonwatch? The way i see it, it’s just another color. I’d prefer the classic black dial
A Tiffany Speedy would break the internet again
@Andrew-yy2ye you sound like a real ray of sunshine
@@Andrew-yy2yei wish I was getting paid. I'll let you know when I get that first check😂
Get the Uranus Moonswatch, its close haha
@@Andrew-yy2ye Shoot, I should charge swatch more lol
I have 6 Speedy’s but give this one a Meh..”
Interesting. What other Speedies do you have?
😂@@SaltyWatchCollector
The hype will die down. Omegas lose value time and time again. 8k for this is absurd. For that price, buy a non ceramic Sub or better yet, GMT.
Still prefer the black one
