    Awesome - get those stickers off and let’s have a wrist shot!

    If anyone has actually fitted the cork strap yet, can you take a pic?

    Not my pic Steve but saw this the other day.

    I will definitely be putting it on at some point. Really interesting design.

    Yes, I’ve seen that. Quite interested to see what it looks like on wrist.

    I suspect bracelet will be best on this one, but a brown/black strap might look good

    How about this nato with a gold buckle and loops? I rather fancy that would look nice!

    Which should have been:

    Impending Brexit Risk? Would Tariffs would set in and impact pricing?

    I have apparently greatly offended with my complete naivety. Having been told in the US that customs and duties can run several weeks on bulk shipments from Omega into the US I thought this might become a factor. I'll be sure not to post or make any tea drinking gestures moving forward.

    What a load of crap. Why comment and offer incorrect information?

    This is one of those watches I absolutely want, but wouldn't trade other recent purchases... so it'll have to wait and if in a few years it's well below retail, great! If not, what a cool watch to look at pictures of on the internet.

    For the same money as this release, I picked up an '11 moonwatch and '18 Grey Side.

    So far...it sounds like no U.S. deliveries yet. I wonder who/where will be the first.....::popcorn:: (of course I hope it is my location)!

    The people at my OB in San Antonio sounded surprised when I told them about the deliveries in the UK. They don’t have any information about deliveries in the USA.

    You may well be right. If mine would bloody well hurry up and arrive I’d do it myself!

    Sorry is there no risk of tariffs being applied? I had a question mark in there sorry for the great offense of wondering about something I am not an expert on on the Internet. I should remember my place at just yell at flippers instead.

    I guess this could be a strategy to hype up the watch even more and make sure those with deposits follow through with the purchase? I know, seeing these deliveries has definitely made me more excited than I already was!

    Wishing I lived in the UK at the moment.....Congrats to those of you who have taken delivery.

    Got the mail confirmation today from my AD in NL, where I put down a deposit, that I am guaranteed one but it would probably be September delivery.

    No there’s no risk, look at the post by Longbow 2 posts later. There is a trade agreement in place with Switzerland.
