    Thanks for the information, hope all goes well with your purchase. It does seem odd to me that after all this time after being offered for sale there does not seem to be much firm information on the price of these watches. The price of the Speedy Tuesday was right there with the announcement, why the lack of information now, and @blokk post on Monday says the OB's will still not give a price.

    Have to add that OBs have not requested for any deposit to date. Whether it means that there's a reduced chance of getting one even if you're on the waiting list, I'm not sure.

    My OB requested 30% from me. They also gave me a price $7250USD in writing. Who knows if they'll try and change as it gets closer.

    That is much closer to the UK price than the tables posted earlier. Good luck with your purchase.

    Just had a call from my AD to apologise that the lady who spoke to me the other day got the price wrong. The correct price is £5360 as @arcadelt said his invoice was for, thank goodness that is sorted out! That means the U.K. price is about the best out there. Calling in to the AD tomorrow to pay my £1k deposit and hope to get some information on delivery times.

    Just got back in from my AD in Winchester. I now have in my hands an invoice confirming the price of £5360.00 (thanks @arcadelt for raising my concern). Their allocation of watches including one Trilogy have all been sold, and the salesperson confirmed they could have sold a lot more of all types had they been available!

    The information on delivery is still the end of June but they did say this was only an estimate from Omega and was not a confirmed date. Spent an enjoyable half hour over a coffee and biscuits talking watches and came away with an invite to, dare I say it, a Tudor event at the beginning of June for a presentation of the Baselworld watches. Don't know much about Tudor and certainly won't be buying with a 57 Speedmaster to pay the balance on. Still should be an interesting evening.

    I'll be going tomorrow to a Paris OB to see all Basel models. I'll send pictures!

    I have been trying to get information in Stockholm, Sweden regarding the Speedmaster but every AD I have been talking to have had no information whats so ever. I guess Sweden isn't that high up on the priority list for Omega.

    I'm surprised about that. Kaplans just sold a couple of vintage beauties last weekend - they had to come from somewhere.

    I asked the same question yesterday at the AD where I'm getting my Speedmaster but the did not know of anything, so that's probably a no. As you can see above I got an invite to a Tudor event, but nothing coming up from Omega.

    Not sure if this was commented before, but does anyone know whether the new bracelets will fit the CK2998 or FOIS?

    I#m contemplating getting a bracelet for my CK2998 but not sure if I should wait to see if the new bracelet actually fits better.

    Glad I helped. All three of them are very nice and feel awesome, but the speedy is by far my personal preference! I got one reserved but no official date on Paris. They told me "I looks like it will be in July"

    Wow! Great photos, ebrg87, with a bunch of angles we haven't seen before! Nice job! Even more excited to pick up the '57 Speedy than I was before. Thanks!

    Yeah, I am a little bit surprised as well. I will go and ask them again soon.
