I do agree with your assessment, but?

In Response To: You, me & a lot of other Omega Customers... .bis ()

The Broad Arrow "1957", I believe is somewhere in the $5500 range, give or take. Again, Im not questioning the AD about the pricing, just the speculation that it is an F.Piguet movement.

So, its just hard for me to believe that a non auto version of the Cal 33xx could just have been slapped with an LE tag at nearly double the price. I mean, what are you getting for your money? Nothing at all. Most of the LE models I have seen usually cost what, maybe a grand more at the most?

Yes, the similarities to the cal 33xx are duly noted, and Im sure most everyone has the same conclusion, and you are probably right, as I am certainly not even a novice watch enthusiast. But lets just suppose Omega went through the trouble for the LE to resurrect the cal 321. Maybe, just maybe they will continue to use the 321 as the future offering for the astronauts.

Well, all the speculation is giving me a headache. We will most certainly find out in the next few days. With that being said, would you consider paying $10 grand/ $7 grand with discounts for a LE 321 with coaxial escapement? Would seem to me to be a little high, but not outrageous.
