I did show them the original article and made it quite clear how it was not good practice to put up the price like that. They wouldn't negotiate on price but did give me a few freebies, like a replacement strap as an apology.
I have in an email that the price is £4650. For it to go up so much is outrageous. Which OB did you go too?
I do have an email from an OB so I will see. What did you get as freebies?
I got a replacement strap, which is exclusive to this watch (blue alligator with blue stitching), a ballpoint pen that is not for sale (goes on ebay for about £60) and a free first service. They did offer me a leather travel purse originally but I didn't really like it so they offered me the other stuff instead.

That strap sounds nice! Have you got a picture?
On another note, Omega have actually started advertising the watch https://www.instagram.com/p/BvZjMeoFc1d/ . Some cities have had promo videos released as well, perhaps something the London one will get soon.
Yes, I noticed they were advertising the New York version, least they have started with the London!
In my opinion the nicest of the city editions. The blue dial is gorgeous. I don't even mind the caseback. 👍
Venice is not listed with the City collection on the website. I think that is an open ended tribute to the Seamaster and the Hippocampus which is only available in Venice.... shame as it is a cracking watch IMHO....

These are still available. The boutique at the royal exchange offered to order me one yesterday. I had a look at a reserved watch (they said I could try on but I declined as it’s someones order), and it was very nice indeed and very flashy.
Did you order one in the end?
Well I'm still waiting for mine, ....
