I am so frustrated with Omega, I got a ceramic Daytona and Seadweller 43 quicker than this. Its unacceptable how long they are making us wait! I will probably get mine just before Basel 2018!
I'm in the same camp. There's absolutely no excuse for not at least informing us of when we can expect delivery. I've had a deposit down since March 30th. Yet, people have simply walked in to an OB or and AD and acquired this piece. Why would Omega send these pieces to OBs and ADs with no confirmed order BEFORE sending them to those with confirmed orders??? I'm so 🤬 frustrated that I'm seriously considering cancelling my piece.

It really is a joke. That 7 and change could have gone into bit coin in June instead of toiling in no mans land :/ Everytime I call the OB they push back my estimated delivery by a month. Joke

Is your deposit with an OB or AD?

Your AD might be wrong. As far as I know, this is how the 3557 LE's should come out of the box with the corresponding bracelet installed:

- Railmaster: black leather, beige nato
- Speedmaster: dark brown leather, grey nato
- Seamaster: light brown leather, brown nato

Trilogy Set from omega:


Mine:
Congrats and thanks! I am still waiting to get seamaster and make my set complete!

I feel like we may well need a dedicated topic around finding the best 19mm straps to fit on these speedies. These rally straps just look amazing imo.

Please lets start that. Been on the hunt for weeks now for the perfect strap and cannot come up with one. Anyone ever have this guy Gunny Straps make you a custom before?

Curious about the quality some of his straps looks good, others a bit sloppy (or just in bad taste. See: the goyard and lv straps smh )

Step 1: Remove on screw
Step 2: Orient the bracelet so that the side with the missing screw is facing down
Step 3: Move the two links back and forth
Step 4: Enjoy your pin in 2 seconds
I am sure you have tried that with great success. Doesn’t work on my bracelet (had exactly that problem last night putting a link back in), but your mileage may vary. You surely have done this on a well worn bracelet of this style where there is dirt in the links, too? But you can always drill the pin in case it doesn’t drop out, I guess...

I’m asking because my local OB didn’t mention deposits when we discussed the trilogy.

Anyone out there who paid a deposit at an OB?

Didnt have to pay a deposit in London but buy quite a bit of them. Told me yesterday that they expect the Trilogies before the end of the month.

That is the reason why I had asked if someone had to pay an OB, not an AD, a deposit. As far as I know an OB does not ask for a deposit, at least not in Europe, certainly not in Germany. If this is so, then there is no reason for Omega to deliver the watches in a defined order.

Ordered a Speedy and a Seamaster from 2 different AD's and both came in a day apart! It was a good week!

Great week indeed.

I immediately called my AD on March 22nd when I saw the official press release. However, when I paid a visit a couple of days later, they wanted 100% deposit, which I thought was totally unreasonable. Then, I tried a couple of other ADs. But, they were not very responsive. Finally, my fourth AD, which was almost in my backyard, was approachable and reasonable. They wanted 50%, which I gave them on March 30th.

Welp.. After three and a half weeks of wear, I’m forced to find another strap/bracelet option because the clasp latch doesn’t close properly and is now broken. I’m fairly careful with my watches (especially this one), and haven’t bumped into anything or knocked it around, so this is a tad disappointing to say the least.

Not a big problem to get replaced as parts are readily available.. just a pain because I prefer the bracelet for this Speedy. Maybe I just got a bad clasp out of the bunch. ::facepalm1::
