Omega Speedmaster Tokyo 2020 - OMF

Recommended Posts

NCRich

I've been wanting a speedy panda for as long as I have been on this board.  Then Omega made one as part of the 5 Olympic rings of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.  And OMF repped it.  Running an ST19 handwind movement and its just a well made piece.  Bracelet has screws (yay!)  The only real negative is the  the case back which should have the Olympic logo on it.  Not an issue as I'm probably going to put a display back on it anyway.  Absolutely love this piece.  Marvellous Replica comes through again.

I’ve been the same. Pining for a panda as long as I can remember. I nearly pulled the trigger on the 35th anniversary gen a few years ago but thought premium was too high and now it’s even more expensive.

Lazy question but how much did it set you back?

I bought 4 watches so I really don't remember exactly.  Perfect Clones has this for $368, I think MR was a bit less.

Should do. It’s an ST19. 
 

I’ve been hanging for coronavirus to fuck off so I can go to Japan and possibly buy the gen. Prices keep climbing so bloody piss off corona. I know I can get it on Chrono24 etc but I would much prefer to buy this in person in Japan. I should’ve bought it last time I was there, there were still a couple of new ones around.

Function correctly for an ST19.  If you were really OC you would need to freeze the subdial at 6.  That's relatively easy to do.

It’s mine. Take your hands off it!

 I can’t even say let’s leave the hotel to go watch shopping at 9am and get up early to beat you to it. Most of the watch shops don’t open until 11am...but stay open to 9pm.

Nice pickup @NCRich. This one should come with a sapphire case back imo.

Well, Omega doesn't have it on their website.  But I found it listed as 14mm for the gen online.  The rep is about 15mm.  So very close.  There is no reason for it to be thicker as the movement doesn't require it.  The measure for the gen could be a bit off since I just found that in one place.

Yeah nothing to worry about for 1mm ! Thanks for measuring it !

Sorry but I actually switched it with my black speedy.  I like this panda better so it gets the display back.
