@sgk: OB Sloane Street London put me on the list for a Speedy last week back for what it is worth.

 

Surprising that they still have new allocations.

 

Very 1957 Soviet-style customer service! They're really committing to this whole look back concept!

 

I don't think any of these are selling out, but I will be glad, just the same, to get on a list!

 

Chicago seemed to have room on their lists.

 

Can anyone confirm if these are lists for actual watches or waiting lists in the hope of watches becoming available as with the Speedy Tuesday? I have a Speedy reserved but a friend recently asked if I knew of any Seamasters still being available.
I asked my AD but they knew of none and as far as they knew from the trade none of the three were available, at least not in the U.K. Maybe it is different with OB's and they have access to larger allocations?

 

Fwiiw my OB told me I have an allocation. They told me that on the Snoopy as well though and I had to buy that aftermarket in the end - they have fulfilled to the letter since then though.

 

Looks like a call to the London OB might be in order, I'll pass it on, thanks!

 

Don’t bother with the Regent Street branch though. As of last weekend, they were unwilling to add any names to the list.

 

Welcome to Stalag-Australia.

I have been promised one of two watches being allocated to the UK AD I am buying from (yes, I am stealing a watch from the UK allocation) and have now paid over 50% of the price, so expect that they are pretty confident their allocation is fixed.

 

Unfortunately, I would be very surprised if any gets delivered over the next couple of weeks, in the midst of the summer lull.

 

Thanks guys!

 

ST lug width is 20mm. Bracelet end links width is 19mm.

 

Was able to reserve a Railmaster at Atlanta USA Omega Boutique. It sounds as though they still have ability to reserve individual watches from this '57 LE release.

 

In Mother Russia....the watch wears YOU!!!
(Must be read with cliche Russian accent)

 

I was at a boutique event in London and mid August was the general consensus.

 

They said June in March, Late July in April-June, Mid August in July, and will say Mid September in August. The correct consensus is, "whenever Omega feels like delivering"

 

I'm pretty new to this and after my third set of conversations with my OB, i've decided to stop and let them come to me. That, and I got a strap coming from Heuerville for my TinTin, so that should keep me occupied (I hope)

 

After my CK2998 last year, I know it will get here when it gets here. I don't ask them about it, yet they voluntarily like to update me whenever they see me.

 

They told me late August delivery for all three LE's. Let's see!
