They're not being released in order, so I've been told.
I had my email on the 13th July and it's still not arrived at the OB!

Mine should make a nice Christmas present then!Originally Posted by SteveHarris
3 weeks in my case, although I think there was a bit of a fluff in arranging delivery to my AD.
Got mine 2 weeks after the comfomation email, the did say up to two weeks so,you might get yours sooner
The Lume on the sub-dials looks amazing!
Yes, let's mention the watch. I have to say that now the hype has finally subsided I can honestly say that I'm feeling very neutral about the watch and am glad I didn't reserve one after all.
Neutral you say, I feel like rigor mortis has set in on this one. I almost hate the watch now.
Swapped mine onto a black NATO last week, it really makes the greyish black inner part of the dial stand out. I also really love the brush of the case finish.
Everything else has stayed in the safe for over a week now, at the moment it's the perfect watch (just need to get use to winding the thing)
Good things come to those that wait (as hard as it maybe)😂
Within a week on the wrist you will be smitten.
(No gaurantee is available) see t&c
I got my email to say mine is on it's way so hopefully will actually get it soon to go with the snoopy strap and bracelet I've had waiting for it.
The watch is really stunning. Far better in the metal than in pics. There's a subtlety and warmth to the overall aesthetics that is not common amongst chronos/Speedies. The stepped subdials and brushed case really give it depth, and because they are not stark white or 'shiny shiny', it balances nicely with the brushed case and lugs and gives warmth to the overall design.
Stunning watch and far better than I thought it might be, but against a watchbox full of Rolexes, I am not sure it's the one for me. Certainly the nicest Speedy I've come across, however, imho.
Where did you get the snoopy strap from? I really like them. Just not the price!

As the mass of the watches begin to arrive, there will be plenty available at lower prices. Plenty. Watch finder will know that, and will be keen to make early sales while they can.
I think you need to click on the link
I would happily take 50% less & I'm sure the masses would as well😂
An interesting way to advertise to the mass of ebayers and then hope to drive traffic to your internet store.Another ST on the bay, Watchfinder have really pushed the price up.

I just wonder how many people would just not bother contacting them after seeing the silly price!

My understanding is that about 7-800 have been delivered so hardly a flood of them on the market. As someone mentioned previously, many will end up being sold to US buyers who barely got a look at launch time.
Yep guys being honest here if you want one and think you can wait and get one at £5k you will be disappointed. The vast majority of these won't be flipped and demand in the US will keep pricing high particularly as the British peso is worth hardly anything currently

well I am having fun obtaining mine
have been told by Omega it left them on August the 18th
but ..... still not at Omega Boutique ??
anyone else experienced a delay between Omega notification and arrival at AD ?
Indeed - there's a lot of wishful thinking going on, certainly on both sides of the buying / selling divide but I concur with your forecast.
This one up for £7.5K at Chrono24.
I had the confirmation email on the 13th July.... still waiting!
Steve
I reckon £10k by Xmas...
Only if the damn thing appears, an e-mail from months ago ain't worth much.
You think people will pay £10,000 for yet another Omega limited edition? I don't, but we will see.
Watchfinder are now asking less than £7.5k for a new ST, so it looks like the days of £6k+ buy-ins will soon be over.
13 currently listed on Chrono24 and most in the £7k to £7.5k price range - and that's dealers.

Watchfinder quoted £4750-£5000 last week as a buying price.
Wow, that is nuts. Looks like the new CK2998 has arrived.
Maybe now people can just enjoy it for what it is rather than running it straight to WF.
If you’re still waiting on it and the thought of not making any money on it is giving you palpitations then it would be prudent to just email Omega and give it it to the next guy waiting.
Yes please do this ^^^^
Better yet contact me via PM!

Wasnt it 4k? If so a grand profit is pretty good!
I only hope mine doesn’t come like this...
Some of the shoddy QC on these has been awful. This is by no means the worst example I've seen. Why would this be happening?

I got offered £6k-£6.2k last week but when popping in yesterday to their buying centre they said things had changed and in the end I got a deal of £4k plus a Chopard Mille Miglia Chrono they had listed at £2.2k but probably worth £1.8k. Only the trade in got me near that figure
Isn't £4k now below RRP? If this is the case I would expect that we will start to see sales settle around the £5-5.5k mark soon!

Another dealer told me he had 'stock' of the watch, but wasn't putting them on the market yet. He should hurry up. The bubble was always going to burst. Too many watches and too many 'special editions.'
It's good , because people can just enjoy the watch.
I read it as £4K AND a watch they were retailing at £2.2k (though clearly less at trade-price)
Ant
Correct. So really the buy-in value was set at around £5.8k
Once the glut gets hoovered up by true collectors, the price will rise. Apparently about 3-500 just been delivered in the last month, hence the ready supply here in the UK and Europe. It is all about supply and demand, supply is up so prices drop. This is why some dealers will hang on to them till after all watches are delivered and the supply runs dry. There are many avid Omega collectors still waiting to try and get one.
Just got the call that mine arrived
Another e-mail informing me that as September has nearly finished, delivery is more likely to be October.
No s**t Sherlock.
Omega are a bunch of incompetent scumbags.
At least if the value has completely collapsed by then it will be an easy decision.
Had the same email and had the same thought!
"We're sorry you still have to wait a little longer, but rest assured, we're working hard to get the watch on your wrist as speedily as possible."
Disappointing to say the least....
Can't make out the issue on this one, is it the hour hand?I only hope mine doesn’t come like this...
3 o'clock sub dial - check the 25 ... not good.
And so I still stand by my current prediction of a price stabilisation of around £5k to £5.5k.
I doubt it will dip below £5k but I suppose it might stretch to £6k

I was thinking of doing a trade listing in SC - a brand new ST and a 1965 Ed White is straight trade for a new white dial Ceramic Daytona or a PP Aquanaut. Think anyone would be interested. Shoot me down in flames now and save me a load of time writing a SC post. I was thinking the two together would be worth £15k, either £10k and £5k or £9k and £6k - doesn't really matter, but surely a good deal for anyone who bought at RRP.
