    There is a very genuine reason for me typing this thread.

    I have a CK2998 on order and it is confirmed with the dealer. The thing is its just not doing it for me, the more I see it the more I actually don't like it, another reason is that its 39mm and every watch I own is either wears big or a 42mm Moonwatch.

    What I'm thinking is rather than cancel the order and get my cash back, I thought someone on here might like to take my place. Now it will have to stay in my name because as soon as I say I don't want it the dealer will immediately call another waiting party he has to buy it.

    I am after no huge gain of 1000's just a little thank you for allowing a member to get one who has missed out. The only thing I would need is my deposit back which I can prove it is placed, this will give you my watch 'slot'. I will happily put it in writing and sign.

    I will handle the transaction for you and collect it, as its me that has to pick it up! I have references so you will 100% get the watch.

    I hope you see the reason for the post.

    CLARIFICATION:

    YOU will receive a NEW CK2998 unworn for UK LIST PRICE £4100 plus shipping and insurance. UK member preferred.

    I want this to go to a collector/enthusiast and not a flipper.

    Drop me a message if you are interested. Im guessing you will have to be quick.

    I have a few terms that the buyer will need to agree to.

    Wonderful opportunity for someone and a change from the usual price gouging. So a heart-felt congratulations for that. Unfortunately I have no fondness for it either. Won't be around long though.

    After reading so many other 'greed-driven' posts about this watch, it's very refreshing to see what you're doing. (Good also that you share my views on the aesthetics of this one). Maximum respect and kind regards.

    @DLT222 is as solid as they come. I wouldn't hesitate to jump into this deal if I liked the watch.

    Good stuff @DLT222. Sitting here cringing at some of the 'dealer' prices I've seen on eBay and other sites. Greed truly has no bounds.

    Cheapest I have seen elsewhere is US$9,500 up to US$11,500. So GBP 4,100 ish is a bargain.

    So you're saying I should buy this for £4100 and flip it for $9400? ;)

    Great offering, a true gentlemen. If I were him, I would only sell to an other well honored forum member. Otherwise it will happen, that sby pick it up for 4100 and sell it for the double...

    You guys better read T&C's before shouting Dibs :p:D

    Seriously that's a great move towards the community - IMHO this is exactly what forums are meant for. For the rest there is Fleabay.:thumbsup:

    T&C's have been sent to all parties.

    If you don't like them your out of the running. If no one ends up with it i will cancel it at the AD

    Nice one Darren!

    Has anyone heard how close Omega is to (or not to) selling out the CK2998?

    I can tell you Omega UK are taking no more deposits/orders on this watch.
