Few random thoughts:

--I like it
--Not surprised and don't blame Omega for doing a crazy platinum piece to launch this (no pun intended)
--Is Omega building this movement in-house or contracting (I assume in-house based on the text). I would be interested to know what the 3-5 year plan is. Are they going to scale it up and turn this into a volume piece? Or will this remain a super-niche piece?
--Is this movement really that hard or expensive to make compared to an equivalent Co-axial chrono? In other words, is there any reason this could not be put in a stainless case and sold for under $10k MSRP?
--How does Omega fit this movement with their story? They trumpet the current 1861 as 'The Moon Watch', but now the 321 is 'The REAL Moon Watch'. So what is The Moon Watch now?
--Curious if long-term the 1861 remains, or if at some point they want to move everything to the new 321?
