: John,

: I thought the same when I saw the watch. As you
: know, I've had (and am still having) an
: immense saga with Omega with regard to my
: Speedmaster Day-Date. I typed in the new
: ref. no. into google, and got to (I think) a
: Russian website, with a whole load of Omega
: watches, most of which look like
: updated/reformed Speedies. I called my AD in
: London, who referenced his books and said
: that the Speedmaster Day-Date will have a
: COSC certified movement and that the watch
: specs WILL be changed. The case will be
: 40mm, and the water resist upto 100m. Added
: to this, the dial will be modified in terms
: of hour markers and the hands are changed
: slightly.

: All this will cost in and around £1800 and will
: be released early in 2007 in the UK. Omega
: do not have any information on their
: website, and to be honest, I have found next
: to nothing on the internet about this watch,
: indeed anything about cal. 3606.

: I am a little disappointed that I did not hang
: fire and wait until next year to buy it. A
: double shame really as the AD said he was
: due to close business soon as he is
: currently semi-retired and wants to take a
: new direction in his life. He will have
: colsed up shop by the time the watch comes
: out. I wish him well...hopefully I'll be
: able to get hold of the 2220.80.00 at at
: decent discount before he closes
: (controversially, I like the look of this
: SMP compared to the previous)

: Any insider information with regard to the
: movement would be appreciated.

: Many thanks

I believe this model is a real one. "cause I have seen japanese books and magazines listing this model as one of the comming new watches. But I feel it is not as pretty as 3520.50.
