But if its no LE shouldnt you simply be able to walk into an OB and order one? If not they're playing 'Rolex games'?

It's not a game when supply can't meet demand. They have orders, they take lists, they build the watches, product is shipped to those at the top of the list.

If by 'Rolex games' you mean holding shipments back, thereby artificially limiting supply, I see no indication Omega engages in that. They are taking deposits. Rolex doesn't do that. They are guaranteeing delivery. Rolex doesn't do that. I think they will build and ship at a suitable pace.

Rolex will deliver eventually if they take your deposit. Point is Omega shouldn’t do this and take side on vips and skip others. I wouldn’t accept that even if it benefits me there. Just be straight up. Don’t tell me I’m 7th, take my money for deposit, and then say I’m 21st..

I have big pull with Rolex, Patek, AP... Omega; I wait for something rare like this. They better act right lol. Otherwise omega will remain a Walmart brand. You know what I mean lol
You really think you're big stuff, don't you? Does your horse reach the stars that let you see all the peasants down here?

Don’t get in your feelings. But would you buy every single omega like you would a Rolex? No you wouldn’t.

Omega can be great. My first real watch was a 18k full gold white dial triple date moon phase Speedmaster. But don’t tell me all are great.

Maybe. But obviously, if new relationship, and they call me first, and I put money down first, I better get first....

Not sure if I understand what you are trying to say... Omega watches are typically a joke except when they put a cartoon dog on one of their models?

Sorry you feel that way. I like the watch. I placed deposit. I won’t flip it. I love it. Everything else was just describing other practices I don’t expect from omega. Point is, you put money down, that’s the order that should follow.

Will it be possible to fit a deployment clasp??
you will need a different strap as well (one made to use with a deployant clasp). It may or may not be easy to fins a similar-looking strap for use with a deployant (it was an issue a couple years ago with the #PCASpeedy)

Ok, most won't buy every single Omega... nor do they buy every single Rolex. Not sure what you are up to on this thread.

Taste is always subjective. Sure, I like some omegas, and snoopy, and NASA, and the design. I got lucky .

Rolex, AP and Patek have been doing this for a while now... Give priority to existing customers. Yes, it is a messed up system and in an ideal world it would be first come first served. If Omega does the same thing, you can't single them out. It is just a dirty game that they all are playing...

I can, because it’s not regular practice for Omega; and they’d be using one single model to take advantage. So, yes... protect the brand. But don’t be like others...

In a matter of one sentence, you cancelled out your own self. Remarkable.

I like the watch, I would like one, but I am moving house so watch purchases are on hold at the moment, if the watch had been limited I would not have been able to get one and I was resigned to that fact, now that Omega have made the watch 'non limited' I have a chance of getting one. However, if Omega stop production before my move is completed and before I have the funds available then I may miss out.

Whilst that will be disappointing its okay because I wasn't expecting to be able to get the watch in the first place. Now I have something to look forward to and focus on during the move and all being well production will still be ongoing in 2021.

Then again, by your replies, it means you didn’t put your own money down ahead of time until you saw the watch. I did. So sure, I don’t want any who didn’t skipping me. That’s all. Don’t tell me about other brands lol. I didn’t place deposit with them; I place money with Omega.

Actually, it is. You’re not going to get special treatment just because you placed a deposit. Your attitude about this entire thing is absolutely insane.

If so, next time neither loyal nor new customer will take the chance. Many of you didn’t.... until maybe now you saw the watch.
