··This Space for RentNot sure I would have expected any different answer. It is not a boutique run by Omega -- the distributors likely send what the Exchange buyers order.

Yep. It was a long shot. I had already asked AAFES if they planned on getting the new watches or if I could order through them. No and no. The Omega request was more of a hail mary.
The impression I get is that AAFES sells what they can get their hands on, rather than the more limited production. I suspect the distributors would not send AAFES anything they requested but that AAFES gets what they have a lot of in inventory.
But it's a guess. I hope that in a few years when production is normalized (no more covid restrictions and the backlogs are gone) we might be able to get a speedmaster again, at least the moonwatch version.
Just FYI to anyone wondering similar thoughts.
Cheers.

·I check the AAFES site regularly. They usually have the some of the current Seamasters (black, blue, grey, and white dials) and a couple models of Planet Oceans in stock. $3600 is pretty nice for a Seamaster when they are on sale.

·I bought a Speedmaster from aafes and it was in the box with all the trimmings. Totally legit. If you have access to the PX then getting omegas through them is a no brainer. I just wish I could score Rolex GMTs like in the old days 😜
The white dial seamasters are out of stock now (as are speedmasters) but I'm hoping they are back for the annual 30% off sale.
