Some great pics there. I called quite a few places, 2 of whom are going to call me back. Think they will be sold out but fingers crossed.

 

Good honest review

 

Thanks for the review.
Having put down a deposit back in March, I was not too thrilled when I saw the 9 o'clock subdial.
But the rest of the watch makes up for it so I kept my order. The more pictures I see, the more I like the watch.
Now that subdial image doesn't bother me anymore, and I can't wait to get the piece.

 

Congrats to all who gotten this piece!

 

Just been down to my local Omega AD & saw this while walking past the Omega display , Quite a nice display touch I think . "Psst Mr Astro, hand over that Speedy to me now while no one is looking ".

 

Yea I saw similar I thought they had the actual 50th til I walked over lol

 

@Longbow Nick, as always, an excellent and objective review.

 

Guys I’ve only just gone and got one!!!! After suspecting that this was sold out worldwide I phoned a lot of places this morning. Someone has just called me back and I’ve paid a deposit. Can’t wait Thanks for all the help. Rob

 

In London UK Omega will not accept deposit, only name on waiting list with no guarantee. Lucky for those places accepting deposits

 

That is because as I have mentioned previously, under English law acceptance of a deposit deems the seller to have entered into an agreement to supply. If they fail to do so they can be sued, especially if the item in question gains value. At least one UK Porsche dealer has been burned this way with a GT3 RS or 911R (I can't recall which exactly) when they ignored the wait list and sold it out the back door to a higher bidder. I believe they were sued and lost and damages ensued, or at least hefty court fees.

 

@Longbow thank you so much for all of the great pics and your assessment. With your help, I've gone from being on the fence to truly excited about it. Much appreciated - cheers!

 

Omega boutique in Manchester wouldnt accept deposits either when I phoned.

 

The last thing anyone needs is a milky ring.

 

They took my 20% deposit a few weeks a go when i went in?

 

In Florence they called me yesterday, soon I'll pay an advance to reserve it and deliveries from July

 

Probably all already reserved

 

And that is against UK law as already discussed.

 

There’s 2 boutiques in Manc I think. One said they had none left. The other said they are having an opening evening in 2-3 weeks (I forget the date) and that all orders would be took on that evening or after that date.

 

Against the law to reserve a product? It might be unwise if they can’t supply what they’ve said they will but I’m sure it’s not against the law to reserve a product or pay a deposit for something.

 

Not against the law if they are able to supply, it’s where there is uncertainty over supply they need to be careful before taking money. I too have been invited to an intro evening soon. They are showing lots of new stuff, not just the ‘Moon’ watch.
