Watch salespeople, don't use the word sold out until you know that every boutique or AD has zero on hand worldwide. It would be nice if Omega had a easily accessible worldwide database that showed everyones inventory. Then maybe I could get more pieces that I like at retail or less that I thought was sold out. The collection just keeps growing😁


I'm excited to receive my Ultraman this month(and it won't be for sale) just in time for my trip to Japan

I think it’s fair to say that their inventory systems suck. 😗

Serious question: Can anyone tell me how many limited edition models/references Omega has released so far in 2018?

I don't think there is any reason for a manufacturer to track inventory at ADs. i would expect 'Sold out' to Omega to mean there are none left in the factory/ warehouses, and as far as they know there are none left in OBs. But there could be hundreds at ADs, who are independent shops.

These are both in Keanes Jewellers, Cork, and have been for months.

Just popped in there again this morning and this is in stock.

If my math is correct that is 31750 LE watches so far. I also added 500 for Hodinkee.

So (considerably) less than 5% production.

The whole "they release too many LEs" argument kinda falls apart when step back and look at the bigger picture doesn't it?

It does indeed. But wait, we still have three and a half months left of the year 😁

The only way to find out, would be to call some and ask..,

When I picked up my Ultraman yesterday the AD had this one in stock and offered it to me. It looks very nice in person. For the CAD equivalent of ~$6300 USD, seems a good deal for anyone wanting a panda.

Chance is simply 0.

Funny how I am hoarding a couple of speedmaster special editions, when I have made more of the same $ amount of Nvidea stock in 30 days than I could ever make on these watches. I guess there is something to be said for tangible stuff. I do enjoy the hunt though.

This is very true. I think about this also, but in the end at least you have tangible stuff to look at

Has anybody come across an Apollo 17 45th anniversary Gene Cernan in stainless steel?
