Tourneau has stock... I walked into a Tourneau in SF yesterday and tried one that had arrived for another customer. I ordered one on the spot.

They are getting it from another store and it'll arrive early next week. It's pretty amazing on the wrist.

Classic Tourneau disrespecting another buyer's property. It's like letting someone test drive your car after it has sold.

Thanks! It's Bulang and Sons

Diggin’ the brown rally strap, T! Did you happen to pick up any of the other B&S straps?! Oh, congratulations! Enjoy!

i'm not a fan of straps in general, but this is the perfect color and fit for this watch. 👍

Let's not throw them too many flowers, they still charge us way too much for a piece of leather...
I know the supplier of Hodinkee: they get most straps between $10-20 and charge us above $100 🤬

I confirmed this watch is still available to order at Omega and is NOT sold out. I understood premiums on the ST because it sold out in 4 hours and demand was greater than the supply.... but why on earth are people paying premiums when they can order one and wait just 4 months to get it. 🤦🤦🤦
This isn't like the ceramic Daytona where you have to wait 4 years! It's just 4 months!

It's not the only one, the Seamaster Commander, which people seem to either love or hate, is easily available at list price (maybe less?) my AD has sold two,has one in stock, and would have no trouble getting others if required. In spite of this I have seen them listed for sale at £1k over list saying they are a limited edition (7007?)in huge demand. It would be interesting to know if any are ever sold at these inflated prices.
I am eagerly awaiting delivery of a 60th Speedy for which I shall be paying list price!

Yes. Although I would move quick as I am told by my OB that there are less than 20 still in the U.S. allotment.
I just spoke to my OB (still haven't gotten mine) Omega corporate is at least telling the OBs they are totally sold out of Speedy 60th as of this AM. Not sure if that means there's some stock allocated first come, first serve, or what but that is what I was just told.

My Speedy 57 just arrived 😁 It's a time machine piece. Now I know what it must have felt like to strap on those original, now iconic, watches of the 50's and 60's for the first time and marvel at the perfection. 👍

Guess some people are either too lazy to do research or take things as given

Over the weekend I was told you could put down a deposit and would be guaranteed one from the next batch in February/March, but it is possible that they have since sold out.
