Sadly doesn’t seem that UK OBs have any deliveries yet

I've seen an email exchange between my AD and the Rep at swatch today that says 'they have received half a dozen into the UK. Deliveries are extremely slow....' and for mine they are guessing before the end of October.

Couldn't resist. Here's another. It's really good guys. The waiting sucks, but at least the real thing doesn't disappoint.

I wonder have any of you requested case numbers and were able to get them?

I requested a few numbers, but didn't get any of them. Not too bothered, though.

I don't think they are fulfilling by requested numbers. I think that Omega isn't doing it, so that if you ordered first, you get your watch first, at least at your OB. People with double digit #ST are still waiting for their watch, while they're fulfilling 4 digit LE numbers.

I think this has to be right. I had no pre-existing relationship with my OB. I've never bought a watch from them before. I called them to pre-order the day of the announcement. They took my name but couldn't reserve the watch yet because it wasn't in their system yet. The next morning they reserved the watch and billed my CC, so logically I would have to be one of the first people to place an order (outside the people who attended Basel and were able to reserve the day of the announcement). My speedy was in the first batch they received at the OB, and I got number 35/3557.

Who's keeping the caseback sticker on theirs? I'm leaving it so it won't pick up too many scratches from the bracelet. I don't see it being that big of a problem considering I always leave my watches laying on the side with the crown down.

I just tried one in Paris, the owner hasn't come to pick it up yet... Mine is still a couple of weeks away but no hurry. It's definitely a cool watch, no doubt about it, the size is just perfect 👍

I just received an email from my OB confirming that the watch has been shipped and should arrive before the end of the week. So excited!
Congratulations! Can't wait to see some photos and a review! [emoji1]

I think there's no problem leaving the round transparent sticker. Specially convenient if you're planning to use it on nato. I don't do nato but always keep it for extra protection. Just remove the rectangular one with the numbers and clean any remaining adhesive under it.
