It looks like they say they can source one rather than having one in stock

It’s not your one is it? Didn’t they offer you 400 quid over retail?

But seriously, yes it looks like they don’t actually have the watch.

They did offer me that.
But I’m not selling
I just wanted to know what I could get.
Surprisingly another place offered me £500.00 less than retail so now I don’t know what to think

You could always think that watches are NOT the best way of making money, but an enjoyable way of spending surplus money that will give you some sort of return if you fall on hard times.

I talked to the manager of the OB here in San Antonio and she told me that they are expecting some shipment in the next couple of weeks. She also mentioned that they will deliver the watches according to the order where people put the full deposits first and then the ones with partial ones. I’m so excited!!

I do get your point. But honestly, I do enjoy that part of my hobby. I like to talk about the development and prices. For me this particular piece is stunning. I am a big Omega fan but not in particular a fan off the Speedmaster. A collector friend of mine did show me this reference and I have to say this watch is really beautiful. In addition, I did show the watch to some friends which are not into watches, and they were all amazed. I think that this watch is attracting a lot of non typical Speedy buyers, because the look is really stunning and exclusive. In Germany, they were all sold out way before. Some ADs told me that people started to get on the list 3-4 years ago without even knowing what is coming for the 50th anniversary. I talked to Omega and in Germany about 160 should be allocated.
I was told by London OB that no list was taken prior to its release - even though I was told I was on one prior... FFS

This is a really odd release. Of everyone that has theirs, I think only 2 people have taken wrist shots without the stickers on. The omega part of the Rolex forums has no recipients outside of @Bp1000. There’s a general lack of excitement on here. I appreciate that we are a small part of the watch population, but I’d have wagered we’d have had a few more with the initial dump of watches.

There’s even very little on Instagram which is where many post these new shiny things when they receive them.

I’m assuming that very few watches have been actually delivered and then nothing since? I was expecting a steady flow of new owners showing off their new purchases.....

I’m picking one up today but it is ironic that uk are getting them before the USA.
After all it was one of America’s greatest achievements in history.
Well yes but also German rocket design, Australian satellite dish assistance (which actually beamed ‘the moment’ globally, UK scientists and many other partners.

It’s not about a country but what we all achieved.....

Please don’t forget that.

There you go. I picked it up at store closing time when most of the staff were either leaving or had already left for the day. Haven’t had a chance to take it back for resizing yet so stickers will stay in place until then. Hasn’t stopped me from playing with it though.

PS: Could be lack of excitement or could simply be that life gets in the way, far more important things to attend to etc. etc.

Looks great even with the protective plastic stickers on it.
Not taking stickers off yet as I’m thinking of giving it to my son as a passing out present when he passes out in the police force

i promised not to say I’m sure you understand why

May I ask how you were given the extra ‘swag’? It is certainly nice additions.

I assume you have bought more than one piece from them and are a return customer.

Thanks for any info

08:45am Tuesday and Watchfinder still do not have the watch listed for sale, maybe its a page they have prepared ready to post should the watch become available?

Mine turned up a month earlier than expected - I guess there has only been a few delivered so far.
