šŸ˜³ GASP! The Speedmaster Professional is being discontinued! Wellā€¦sort of. Certainly my Ref. 311.30.42.30.01.005 will no longer be made, but the Speedy Moon Watch is an icon (that word gets overused these days, but is well-deserved in this case). Therefore, a completely _new_ Moon Watch will be introduced that will use the new 3861 co-axial manual wind movement, have a new bracelet and /or band, a bigger crown, a resurrected classic stepped dial, and introduce an applied, rather than printed, Omega logo. I am very interested in seeing them once theyā€™re introduced since the Speedy is my favorite wristwatch of all time.

The news is out! The Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch has been discontinued! There has been a lot of speculation in recent years about the discontinuation of the iconic Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch.

Yay! Snow day! We are getting about two feet of snow today, so my office is closed. Iā€™m therefore lounging about wearing my Black Bay. It has a ā€œsnowflakeā€ hour hand. What else would I wear on a day like today? ![image](https://discussion.tekeli.li/uploads/default/original/2X/5/5dc619048f3be1c37dd99cbaf378ead2c5de219a.jpeg) ---

So, the big news isā€¦I traded in my Milgauss towards a radiant blue Datejust 41. I will miss it greatly, but this thing is just insanely nice. Itā€™s also a baby; just over one month old. šŸ˜ šŸ‘šŸ¼ ![image](https://discussion.tekeli.li/uploads/default/original/2X/b/b799e16f1becec86fe748e6e81b3f63384b9927a.jpeg) ![image](https://discussion.tekeli.li/uploads/default/original/2X/f/f9b4577783f11d4157ee1a3165283f6e788dbb5c.jpeg) ![image](https://discussion.tekeli.li/uploads/default/original/2X/1/11bcce407089f21a62873e51502fa23d1ae61ae6.jpeg) ---

Oh, manā€¦I am so smitten with this thing. It is actually 1 whole mm _wider_ than the Milgauss (41mm vs. 40mm), but nearly 2mm _thinner_ (11.5mm vs. 13.2mm), and that makes a world of difference. Itā€™s lighter, and it glides effortlessly under a shirt cuff during normal wear (something that the beefier Milgauss often had trouble doing). But aside from the ease of wear and scorching good looks, the DJ41 is a better long-term investment too: purchased new from an AD, the DJ41 I now own has an MSRP about $1000US less than the Milgauss (assuming they had either in stock for you to buy, which they wonā€™t), but on the secondary market, the DJ41 averages about $2000-$3000 more, since it is a much more sought after model. And I expect that trend to continue. In fact, the ongoing pandemic is probably going to fuel a steeper appreciation, in the next year or two at least, since it has slowed Rolexā€™s production considerably. Their total output is only about 700,000 pieces annually in a normal year (a surprisingly low number), and the past year has definitely _not_ been normal. I still have some pangs of regret. After all, the Milgauss was a faithful and trouble-free companion, and its model introduction back in 2007 is what propelled me headlong into watch collecting (I read an article about it in an inflight magazine and said ā€œOoh! I would really like to have one of those!ā€), but I made the right decision. No doubt about it. ---

Not much (outside of the shirt that Iā€™m wearing) has changed. Still rockinā€™ the Black Bay. ![](https://discussion.tekeli.li/uploads/default/original/2X/4/40bdd0bb49b4fe58e44b7fab4919211a7212e5d2.jpeg) ---

Itā€™s one of the reasons why I like it so much. The blue sparkles in sunlight, but reverts in tone to virtual black in a low-light environment. Those photos are taken in the exact same place, just angled differently to the light source. šŸ™‚ ---

Last night we had dinner out with my buddy and his wife before he heads back to Afghanistan later this week. I wore the Datejust 41 and am wearing it today as well. ![image](https://discussion.tekeli.li/uploads/default/original/2X/7/73ae908f698a32dfc2b884711d51992b44b08483.jpeg) ---
