How many BNIB 311.30.42.30.01.005 are left out there?

I tried to get hold of one yesterday but after making a few calls drew a blank. I'm located in the UK. Are the only BNIB ones left, on the grey market?

I'm sure there are a few still in dealer stock, and maybe still a few in the Omega pipeline, but you'll probably have to do a wide search to turn one up.

Many thanks - I'll get in touch with them. Have you dealt with them in the past?

You asked about brand new in box - the one in the Blowers site is pre-owned from 2018.

There are some new ones left in ADs and grey dealers in the US, but none in US Omega boutiques.

Yes indeed. Should have looked a little closer. Anyone have any further ideas as I continue to draw a blank?

Think you’ll need to either ring around or visit as many small independent dealers as you can, and see if Watches of Switzerland / Goldsmiths can see all group stock in their computer system.
I’m sure there are a few out there, it’s just a question of speaking to the right people who actually know the difference.

Very true. I will keep ringing around - I can't believe there isn't one somewhere.

Dunno. I'm after one from a retailer, not from the grey market.

Good luck - there must be one or two somewhere...

PM @demollo ... I think he has one and is a pleasure to work with. Shipping to UK from Poland would probably be easier than shipping across the pond, too

I’ve read lots of Brexit horror stories about shipping from the EU to the UK.

If it was me, I’d either stay within the UK or collect it in person. A round trip to Poland is probably cheaper and definitely less stressful than shipping, random charges from shipping companies, etc.

Jus send an email to omega and they might answer you. Did the same about x33 and got the availability within France in 1 minute.

My guess is that it’d be different with a model that has been discontinued and has a direct replacement, but it’s got to be worth the price of an email.

Last I checked, Topper had a few of these left.
That's not going to help the OP who is in the UK. For him he is just going to have to call around and see if he can score one from an AD or boutique. If not there are still quite a few BNIB on the grey market which would be acceptable to me.

Getting one on the grey market is quite easy but I'm looking for a 'deal' with an AD or boutique who might see the watch gathering dust and be glad to see the back of it.
