UK, it's £7,880... after the recent 6% increase.... some of those suggested adverts on C24 may have been created prior to the increase. The overall trend on C24 doesn't display a massive drop in values and the film has been bumped twice which I suspect may perk interest again.
Thank you.
Never can understand the fetish on lume, who are you all, a bunch of Thai kids stuck in a cave?
I would also state as I'm sure many others would, do not to buy as an investment and only what you like and can afford as expect a watch to depreciate 👍
I agree, what is going on with all these comments about lume? I was on the Rolex forum earlier and there is a thread there about lume and why it fades, and why watches don't glow all night.
FFS who sits up all night in the dark looking at a watch dial and its lume?
And on a Speedy, it's not exactly a dive watch is it?
D DuckieAgreed, and be that as it may.
It's a fun feature that has its own special degree of usefulness that can't be ignored whether it's of a practical nature or novelty.
After all readability in different lighting conditions is one of the essential elements of the Grand Seiko grammar of design that is served by stunningly polished hands and dial markers.
It's the same but different.
Can't we all simply agree that the watch is not a failure regardless.
Personal expectations are just that. Personal.
Like it and buy it.
Dislike it and pass.
Boutiques would have no idea of Omega's production plans, just conjecture on their part. If Omega makes a total of only 5,000 units in the first two years you'll be back to the 45th Snoopy flipping silliness and very unhappy customers. Your statement, "100% everyone who wants one, will get one.....its just matter of when!!" is unlikely to be true if only 5,000 pieces made in first two years and ramping down after that. Omega holds the cards here, they can supply the people who really want one and keep the flippers at bay, but even Omega doesn't know what that number is at this point. But almost certainly far greater than 5,000 units over two years.
Somehow, you believe your speculation into how many units of this watch Omega will produce, in its first 2 years, is more informed than OB employees/managers.....that's funny!!!
S schwxmbIs it better to email or call OB to try and put a deposit down?
Just my two cents...
Buying this watch would be a terrible investment because it is not going to be a small production, and based on how successful the response to the 50th has been, I would say that Omega is highly likely to released a 55th, 60th and so on. It would be silly for them not to do so. I can imagine some more cool changes e.g. a lumed bezel
Anyways, I like the blue and while combination quite a lot. The strap looks awesome. I have put in a deposit and will most likely keep it in the collection.
This is at total odds to the information I have been given from the UK Flagstores.
Do you care to share a redacted copy of your receipt from the Omega Boutique on here and not some AD.
Some AD's might be taking deposits but when they get them is another question because of supply issues.
Delivery has already been put back to late 2020 and early 2021. Plus OB's lists will be getting first priority on orders in the UK.
Thank you.
Yes, demand will outpace supply in the short term but would you say that demand will continue to outpace supply in the long run?
In 5 years time, we will probably see another iteration. Unless you are looking to just flip, keeping it long term is what I am looking at.

P paulyBobby is 100% right. What he has described is exactly what happens and in the UK (unlike the greed in the USA) they take just a 20% refundable deposit. The greedy OBs in the USA not content with taking $5K as a deposit are now demanding a further $4,600 plus tax - disgusting and importantly, contrary to what they said when they took deposits!!! I think its unethical to ask for 100% in advance without even providing an arrival date.
Beautiful watch experience slightly spoilt by some greedy USA OBs (I don’t know if it’s all USA OBs)....
Be useful to know if every OB wants 100% upfront in the USA???
