I don't know what is too special. Perhaps you could share which horological piece is a very special piece in that price range of under RM 50K.
Ceramic and cermet doesn't have to be new material used in order to be launched as a material in a limited edition.
If anything I would prefer it to be a proven material instead of being a guinea pig like the Alchron from Zenith.
I buy a watch not because it is a JLC or GO or GS or AP or if it is a limited edition or if it is co-branded.
I buy a watch because it looks good on my wrist, has a proven in-house manufacture movement, has useful complications or has a unique technical feature like the Amvox 2 or is a very significant historical part of the company like the Polaris and at an attractive price point vis-à-vis other peer manufactures. An additional bonus is that it is not too common like being manufactured in 100,000 pieces per year. Being limited is relative, so is everything else. To me Limited could be 500 to another it could be 1,000 and another 1957 as in Omega Speedmaster.
As long as the particular single model I buy is not churned out in the tens or hundreds of thousands whether it is stamped as limited or is a regular production but still produced in less than a few hundred pieces is fine with me.
How anyone else sees it is of no concern to me.
Unless I am wrong, so far the price I checked for this model is higher than the DSOTM and it should be.
Omega is nowhere in the league of JLC unless others think otherwise, in that case good for them.
At a lower price point vs JLC, an Omega may be attractive but when the price approaches JLC level that's when it is no longer an attractive and logical purchase.
Omega has some catching up to do with Rolex first before taking on JLC.
I own 4 Omegas before but I didn't find any of them special so all sold except 1 piece.
With the small difference between DSOTM and this JLC, it is a no brainer for me to go for this JLC.
If others think that the DSOTM is a better buy, good for them.
