As you will know I was told delivery would be end of May beginning of June, well here we are and my AD has heard nothing.
I'm not holding my breath for a call anytime soon!

I put my name down at the OB and they told me they were expecting them sometime in July.

Do you think they are deliberately holding back until they are assured that they sell them all quickly? Always helps the clamour for the next Limited Edition release or am I just being an old sceptic?

Might be, but I also think they are producing a lot of different new watches right now. So that wouldn't help either I think.

Doubt it. Have in mind Omega relocated facilities i believe in first/second quarter of 2017. Plus why should they hold it back? That's cash flow of significant amount 10 000 pcs roughly x 3000 eur. We talk about 30 mln.

Is it possible to get just this bracelet as a replacement for a different model, or will I have to find that aftermarket? Anyone ever had any success with this at an Omega store or independent retailer?

As this is a limited edition, probably not.

What watch were you thinking of?

For those that already have one reserved, have you received any update on what number you are assigned? I put my deposit for one 3 days after the speedy was announced, but have had little communication/updates from my OB.

I called the OB and the guy pretty much told me to not hold my breath as it's probably going to show up in October. What sucks the most is that they took a 100% payment first and all we get is a bag of waiting.

Last email I had from my OB guy stated still looking at June arrival, but this was mid May so who knows at this point. I'll send another email in a few weeks to check status again.
