Well, what a massacre the Grand Final turned out to be! Perhaps we should have had the Ed White ranked higher when we started the competition. Somehow, despite it clearly being beloved by the Speedy community, it feels like a bit of a dark horse winner. But I’m all for dark horses the darker the better! And this dark-dialed beauty finally put the dog to the sword, slaying the Snoopy most of us thought would win…
But what did we
want to happen? Who did we
want to win? As the rounds progressed, we all threw our allegiance behind different survivors. Some of us championed the Alaska over the Tintin in that memorable back-and-forth quarter-final. A plucky one or two hopped on the seriously under-populated Apollo 45th bandwagon. And I almost abandoned my own Group winner in favor of my competitor in the quarter-final to end all quarter-finals…

Well, we finally made it to the last weekend of the Omega Speedmaster World Cup. What a ride it’s been. We’ve seen surprise winners, remarkable comebacks, our fair share of voter fraud, and worthy watches left languishing in the group stages. The two watches that fell one step short, the Tintin and Snoopy III, now duke it out for your approval.
We’ve seen brutal character assassinations, indulged in well-worded arguments, and recoiled in disbelief as Mike failed three consecutive dope tests. Still, despite running the most sophisticated doping program since Lance Armstrong’s USP team, Mikey couldn’t propel his mighty Tintin into the Final. Instead, that pesky pooch from 2015 has marched on to face off against Balazs’ 321 Ed White. RJ will be championing the Snoopy 2015 against one of his most-worn watches of 2020. That should make for an interesting showdown tomorrow…
