路H hb8745Not trying to put words in your mouth, but the fact that you and some others seem so concerned about the deposit process illustrates why they have value.
IMO, waitlists here are the ones with substantially lower meaning, but it's certainly not 0. Even with that in mind, if HQ opened up a waitlist i guarantee you most people interested in the watch would jump on it, despite that.
No my concern is that there is a belief that once the deposit is paid it guarantees a watch, but if the popularity of the watch exceeds the allocation then there is a problem.
I don鈥檛 know how the US trading process works but it just seems odd that deposits are paid, months and weeks in advance and there is no guarantee that a watch will be available.
I am just happy that here in the UK I just have to express an interest and then work with my OB/AD. As I have bought watches from the OB I believe that I have a chance of getting a watch if I want one.
So I am just trying to get my head around how this US deposit system works and what happens if the allocation is beneath the number of deposits.

Considering the OBs are owned directly by Omega, I'm sure they received confirmation of how many pieces are being allocated to each of them once they were allowed to start taking deposits. So the issue mentioned above shouldn't be an issue. Being a corporate owned Boutique, the communication is probably much more transparent than that between Rolex and their independently owned ADs.

Very true but also a good source of leakage if information is given to the stores.

I can't tell if you're trolling at this point
How do you still not get it, it's been explained > 10x now?
They have the means to easily prevent that from happening. If it does happen, then you get an unhappy depositor who gets refunded. If you don't get a watch they don't just keep your money...

and sure there is no written waiting list but that doesn't mean it is not on the OB manager's head....

No I鈥檓 not trolling, just trying to get my head round the unshakable belief that appears to exist that once the deposit is placed it guarantees a watch.
I hope that you all get your watches, I hope that none of you that have placed a deposit miss out.

Easy, they are placing a deposit with Omega, Omega makes the watch. Omega says not enough watches they stop taking deposits. You don鈥檛 know how many deposits have been taken, it might just be 500 in the whole of the US.
