··Oooo subtitles!I’ve asked the OB I used in London to collect my ST#2 about news and reservation process and got the reply :
At present Swiss HQ have not yet disclosed any information. As such I am not able to confirm or deny; nor do we yet have any such boutique waiting list.....
But maybe I’ve just not spent enough £ there to be worthy of their ‘list’

·So far I've written down #FOMO , #JOMO , #vapourware and #brandloyalty as keyword metadata in the tag cloud about the 2019 LE Speedmaster to celebrate 50 years Apollo 11...
Really this can't be happening ?

·This is absurd. If you have rogue OBs or ADs taking it on themselves to accept deposits without HQ go-ahead, how would you trust them to distribute their allocation according to their own list of customers from whom they’ve taken deposits? They can easily say “sorry here’s your 7k back (without interest) we didn’t receive as many as we expected” and sell your watch to someone else willing to pay over retail. Very shonky.

·Each OB generally sets their own wait list and deposit rules, based on my experience.

·I'm already starting to lose interest if this is how they are going to do business, Not that Omega or the OB's care because there will be plenty of people globally to swallow up whatever limited supply is produced.

·Maybe they "found" x number of movements in the corner (or at WatchCo ), now they fish for pre order as they need to know how many they need to find..

It was an outrageous thing last weekend. I like your avatar photo! Great to see another one of these Ltd Edns in captivity!

·This entire deposit situation is so strange. It'd be one thing if every AD/Botique was offering a deposit option to their clients.
But the fact that there is such a wide variety in the way ADs are treating this pre-order is really strange. What happens when big buyers miss out because their local AD doesn't believe in getting a deposit for vapor ware?

·In Switzerland I was told - once day receive further intel on the upcoming watches they can start to collect deposits. Until they do not even know the models, the can not do anything.

·OB
Even though I put it down at an Omega Boutique, the receipt states exactly what it's for
Until now all my sales receipts mentioned the reference number of the watch they were related. What does your's say?
I consider this as very dubious bussines practice. Is there AD/OB in Europe affected or is this again NAFTA only phenomenon?
