If you have purchased from a boutique before and have a relationship with them then you have nothing to worry about. If not, then I would say, it's the grey market for you. Unfortunately this piece will be as close to the Daytona as Omega could hope for for a while. If you have a chance on this iconic piece.... Take it!
I was just wondering how the dealers will work with the people on list with no deposits. Let’s say the store gets 30 and 50 people on waiting list. Do they call in order when each customer signed? What if they call you and they can’t reach you, do they try later or keep moving down the list until someone goes and gets the watch?
I’ve already got a deposit down on one. I was more interested from the point of view of how the system works, if there is even a system.
So it’s just down to the store manager ringing his pals/best customers and offering it to them? Nothing more than that?
Definatley, where do you have a deposit down?
At an AD. It’s not in London though.
Cool. I hope all goes well and you get it 👍

Completly agree
Lol go back just a few pages to see the "this piece will be selling 15-20% under retail" 🤦
I know. Some were thinking about waiting to see it in the flesh ( thinking it might just sit there for a while) at an AD or OB to decide to buy it or not.
Nah, not the 50th. IMO that was never going to happen.
Especially now with something about the Apollo program and the Artemis program regularly in the news these days. This along with exhibitions and the First Man movie and the new Imax movie about Apollo XI, even 6969 units will sell easily.
Perhaps after the gloss wears of in a number of years a used one or two will show up minus the box or all the kit at a reduced price?
I think anyone who manages to lose the box and papers on possibly the most historically significant piece Omega have knocked out since the original speedy deserves to take a hit
Mhm i've seen guys from The Second World War on Antiques Shows with their original pepsi box, papers and sales receipt if they can manage it we can!
I don't get how people lose the stuff - just put all the documents in the box - put the box in the back of your wardrobe and don't touch it

I’ve seen guys walk out of boutiques without anything but a watch before.
Seen people at airports throw boxes in the bin before boarding flights.
Have mentioned before it’s more common than you think amongst non watch people.
Rolex stores in places in holiday destinations like Hawaii it’s probably a weekly occurrence.
I paid my 20% deposit at the Manchester Boutique the day it was launched, I do hope I get the watch. I would imagine I was on top of the list but never bought from this shop or had an omega before so don’t know where I stand.
I’m not a flipper, hopefully I will get it or I will be gutted.
