I'm warming up to the gray and orange 43.5mm Omega PO, but the thickness is still an issue at about 16mm. Sure wish they could 'thin out' the 8500 movement. Hard to keep track of all the Speedmasters these days, the original 3570 still holds my interest.

The speedmaster moon phase with the blue dial looks amazing in person but it's another one that I worry about the thickness on that as well.

The Speedy is thinner than the PO, about 14mm.

Ressence Type 5. Well, any of the range really, but this one is just so darn cool. Price is a bit steep, but all the same....... its a clever bit of product design.

Unless you've got it in with an AD, you won't be getting one anytime soon unless you pay a premium. Rolex wouldn't even tell ADs when they were getting them or how many they would even get. It's funny reading all the stories about people on their AD's list and even putting down deposits when they have no idea when they'll even be close to getting one.
