Got the 'dispatched' email for the X33 this morning, looks like I got lucky
Cheers,

For goodness sake!
Arrived, but check the schoolboy error! Mark on the inside of the crystal which I assume is a blotch on the AR coating, sticks out like a bulldog’s you-know-what against the dark background. FFS zero chance of a replacement I suppose.
If you want the watch maybe get it worked on under warranty if they are unable to replace it?
Crossed my mind too, but the guarantee card was completed yesterday so looks like I'm first recipient. What gets me is how both Omega and Beaverbrooks let this get into the wild!
Sending it back on Monday, cannot be arsed messing around or returning under warranty. Just not meant to be
Keep it. You won’t get another at that price.

Really digging this. Never thought about a Hamilton before. Anything I should look out for?
What a shame, feel for you and I’d be gutted.
Not sure why they can’t just send a replacement watch when they re-stock as I’ve exchanged a few imperfect watches for replacements over the years including out of stock models.
May be just the picture but the second hand looks off centre which I wouldn’t expect of a watch at this price.
Ive always fancied trying one of these so it’s now back on my 2020 radar.

They won’t restock a discontinued watch though.
Im sure Omega will sort under warranty, hopefully not too much hassle involved.
Good luck
It's just a matter of time...
Nope it's defo the IR coating; cant capture it on cam but has a 'matte' smudge spot internally, if you know what I mean.
Absolutely would be fixed with a new crystal but really can't be bothered with the hassle and wait, plus I'm a bit fatalistic and it has to be perfect first time or I'm jogging on
Didn't get the cancelled email yet, but I notice the "pending" Topcashback" has disappeared.
The chester branch has a tudor BB 41 for £1200 if anyone interested...
Well, I was disappointed that my Skywalker order was cancelled but consoled myself with this which arrived from Beaverbrooks today.
Missed my last one which I sold and feels good to get another on the wrist.

Great looking piece , was considering this before the deal was pulled. Does this model have a different shade of blue to the vintage inspired version?

Yes quite a different piece to the CAW211P ‘McQueen’.
Crown on the right, different dial, different strap and (correct me if I’m wrong) slightly different movement which has now been superseded by the new in-house movement, hence this is now an old/discontinued model.

Are you sure it’s discontinued ? It’s still listed as current on the omega site? With a reassuringly expensive price tag!

Nearly. It appears if using the app (but doesn’t appear if using a browser).

Been offline a couple weeks, was meaning to update on the faulty X-33.
Beaverbrooks have been outstanding! They had no others in UK stock but immediately offered to handle getting it repaired under warranty and offered goodwill for the hassle so I said okay. Then got updated to say Omega have a few still available so will swap for a fresh one. Result!
Must admit quite surprised how helpful the customer services lady has been, was expecting pretty shoddy being a high street retailer and all but honestly she’s on it like a pro
Good stuff GQ. Glad it’s worked out for you.
Well it was certainly worth the call and well done. That was a fabulous price.

Kudos to Beaverbrooks. We always hear about the shoddy cs. Nice to get a report of people doing their job well. Contrasts with that pragnells debacle.

Based on recent feedback here I'd choose Beaverbrooks over Pragnell any day of the week.
Re. the X33
Beaverbrooks reply to my order was:
"Unfortunately when sourcing your item it has come to our attention that we no longer have sufficient stock to be able to fulfil your order. As this is also now a dis-continued line between ourselves and our supplier we are now unable to obtain any more stock of this line."
Looks like they can find some at full price, despite being "dis-continued".
