That just gave me an erection.

I reserved my Speedmaster 60th today at my AD in New York, only required a 30% deposit, fully refundable.

That pisses me off because Omega in the US is charging way more than the CHF-->USD conversion rate and is quite evident with your quoted GBP rate. And to top it off, the US (and CAN) are the only ones requiring a 100% deposit.

For anyone who is interested, the following are prices for the 60th Anniversary Speedmaster in some countries that I have gleaned from various conversations, posts, blogs and articles, standardised into US$ at today's exchange rate (xe.com). UK and Australian prices include taxes, but not sure about the others. Would be interesting to hear from those that have paid or reserved to see if these are correct.

The US price is correct. And there will be state tax on top of it for most buyers, which will typically be ~6%

Hello all,
Been reading this forum for a while and decided to sign up!
I reserved speedy in Paris and the OB told me they got 10 units with 6700eur price. If you don't live in France you can get 12% of this price in tax back, meaning that your final price will be 5896eur
Looking forward to this speedy to go along with my silver snoopy!

Hi All from South Africa

My AD returned from Baselworld on Tuesday. He managed to secure 2 Speedmasters (one for me) and 1 Trilogy set. Price in South Africa for Speedmaster is ZAR91 000 which includes 14% VAT. At today's mid-market exchange rates it equals: US$7100, £5700, €6600. No deposit required.

"Usually ships within 6 months"

Lol. I'd rather pay retail than risk getting scammed or having to wait months only to be told they aren't getting stock

Sounds like an unnecessary middle man

Certainly can't disagree but w no tax and 5400 bucks it seems like a good deal. Sure u loose the warranty but it is not that hard to find someone to work on a 1861 if need be

I don't understand. The listing says that a five year warranty is included and there is an option for a lifetime warranty.

You lose the Omega warranty. That 5 year warranty is in-house at AuthenticWatches, which is to say: useless.

Mmm...if these are 'grey' already then something is seriously wrong somewhere...in which case I think I need another beautiful Speedy...

Well whoever these ADs are that are giving these away at wholesale prices are fools. These are limited and can easily net them at the very least another $1000 each.

Fools or not it is what it is and who the heck knows what the true wholesale price is
