Really annoyed I missed out on one of these. There utterly pointless nature carries such charm!

I’m sure one or two will pop up on SC in due course
Good god man, the e-mail was only sent out a couple of weeks ago - the ST took nearly a year to appear.
You won't see one of these in 2018.
Also, with the ST I had it sent to the house, none of this go and collect rubbish.
Oh yes you will. Some people have already received theirs and the fist batch of watches have already arrived in the UK and will be available for collection this week. Apparently everyone on the list will have their watch by the end of the year. If you are on facebook follow the #speedytuesday group to see real world photos of it.
I have one reserved that I cannot justify the expense at the moment. Currently debating whether or not to take it and try to flip it for a modest profit (I know - shock horror) or just to cancel my order and save myself the stress.
All ultramans will be delivered by the end of october, and that's from the guy dealing with the aloications
Can't wait to read a review of one of these, I would be very tempted by one

Well redshovel above says he wanted one, sounds like a stress free transaction could be possible?
Only stress involved will be how much is exactly a modest profit for the seller who does not want the Watch and how much is the buyer prepared to pay over RRP to a flipper.
The guy dealing with the STs kept giving us dates and they were drip fed out over many months. I do hope Omega have got their act together then you all have the same chance of making a big fat profit.
By the time I got my ST you couldn't give the things away.
Really, have they ever sold below rrp? Didn’t realise that.
I learnt my lesson with the Speedy Tuesday. Until you can examine and wear a watch, you can't really be sure. I waited many months and then, when I finally got if, realised I didn't especially like it. To be fair, I made £1000 but I wouldn't buy unseen again, profit or no profit.
The first ones have been picked up already

I’ll be prepared to pay over list if you’re selling, pm me if interested.
I think he still made around £1k profit, they could always be given away at decent profit.
Your inbox is full.
Looks great except for the splodge on the sub dial!
Don't you only see that when you use the special torch?
I must agree though, It does look more like a splodge and less like ultraman
Errrm... Without UV it looks like a skin disease.

Errrm...
im not sure we all look at our watches through a macro lens 24/7, normal daily use, day to day, no one else will notice that. if they do, you've got a little story to tell them. those who don't know what the watch is.
And even though its a "splodge" its meant to be there, so....
However, like always, some will like it, some wont, some wont care
It’s almost the entire subdial. Don’t think you need to have a macro lens to see it. Neat idea. Personally I don’t like it (the ultra man/splodge) but it’s a lovely watch overall
I was being facetious,
in truth it really doesn't matter. its a great watch, with a gimmick, much like the tintin, people will hate or love it. to be honest, I would much rather they just re did the original from the program/film (seen pictures, looks cool with the orange hand)
im not a fan of ultraman, passed me by, im only 39, but im indifferent really. I wont be looking at getting one but it doesn't repulse me. personally I think there are far more watches out there that I would never entertain the idea of putting on my wrist, probably costing twice as much, but I don't think id waste my breath trying to highlight all the bits that I think are wrong.
I hope most if not all people getting them are doing so to keep, not to flip. im sure it wont be the case though

nice to see another local Ultraman :) Im collecting mine from GS at the metrocentre at some point
Same here.
i am 39. Who or what is ultraman ?
Japanese kaiju/hero type stuff from the 60's, quite cult

Has everyone heard about pick-up?
People are collecting them. Lots of pictures coming up on the ST Facebook group.

Another limited speedy that was not needed but looks so damn good!
Ah the dick watch :) :)

Omega has been using the ‘dick’ for years - in case you’ve only just noticed...
But he hasn't got it yet. Buyers remorse in advance of buying...
in case you have only noticed this has been a dickwatch for years then
Doubt it, all he has to do is cancel his allocation.
It’s probably not alone then, is it?
What, and lose a free £2k instant profit.
That's a lot of money for a watch with a crappy strap on!
Well, I just got the call, mine's in London and available for collection.
So much for "You won't see one of these in 2018."
It won't be anywhere near that. There was similar talk when the '57 Reissue was released (speculation of £7-8k) but they never went above £6k, and currently trade at or below RRP.
If you mean the 60th anniversary one they made 3,500-ish of those if memory serves, so less 'limited' than the Speedy Tuesday vs.1 / vs.2
Could say the same about the straps supplied with speedy Tuesday #1
Which number is yours (pm if you like) mine is one of the higher numbers so it looks like I'll be waiting.Well, I just got the call, mine's in London and available for collection.

What's its USP?
"Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it's enemy action."
'Populism, the last refuge of a Tory scoundrel'.
you'll have to let me know when youre collecting yours, I mailed Omega the other day and their reply was
Hi,
Deliveries are starting this month. However your Speedy is still in production. September / October seems more like it. Please note that we will deliver all the way through November.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Arthur Hery
Its’s a low number!

According to the manager of the Omega Boutique I was just in, although not mentioned on the website, it also comes with a black leather strap as well. Still expensive mind.
3 on eBay already
