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
Yes iv bought a lot off them tags Tudors omegas etc may be why I was one of the first to receive mine.
I do have good rapport with all the staff and unlike Rolex dealerships I find them very appreciative of my business.

Why are you gonna go and stalk them to moan about it like you did me 🍿

Well, if the seller did pretend that it is the most important watch since the original just to trigger buyers' interest, then yes, I don't see any reason why @padders and others should stay silent. 😉

Mine turned up a month earlier than expected - I guess there has only been a few delivered so far.
I guess that’s right. I think I’m just being impatient!

That's nice but that bracelet definitely needs resizing!

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.

You can't even see the gold in this photo. Can't wait to see more!

This is not your regular yellow or pink gold but poor lighting makes it look a bit more subtle than it is. This one was taken in slightly better light:

Nicely done. Did you order very early on from Omega Martin Place? Their staff seems to be a tad ‘average’ at times.

Did you score a sweet shirt as well?

What number did you get?

While I'm due to get one of these I need to say the photos are not really doing it for me. Unless it's totally different on the wrist I will either pass or flip it if there's a profit to be had.

Watch out for seller's remorse. Even if it is a watch with a face only its maker could love (not saying that it is - far from it), with an occasion like this, it got to be a keeper not a flipper.. Of course, to each his (or her) own destiny ..

It IS the most important watch since the original in my OPINION and I stand by that but my comments are PUMPING like somehow my comments will singlehandingly affect the market value of this watch hahaha - everyone else is allowed to flip it like stufflers mom hypercritical twaddle

If the watch 'IS the most important watch since the original', why didn't you keep it instead of selling it?

Ahhh...we don't need to get into this again. Let's just enjoy the watch and watch for updates on who is getting them around the world! 😁

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!!
In line with what I was told last weekend by OB in St Louis, some watches arriving in next few weeks. Parcelled out on First PAID, first served basis.

My apologies, yes you are right we should be celebrating the arrival of the 50th Anniversary watches and not rising to the bait thrown out by the flipper and fuelling his ego. Sorry I won't do it again. 🙄

I have to say, I’m with you on this. I like the watch, but as yet am not bowled over (one of the reasons I keep asking for shots).

I’ve never been a successful flipper so will just pass if it doesn’t do it for me in the metal, although I’m hopeful I will be surprised.

I am sorry if I have offended you and I am more than happy to move on, but are you?

It was your comment 'It IS the most important watch since the original in my OPINION' that started this process again not mine. A comment made by an OF member who had 'the watch' in his possession, possibly one of the first anniversary watches out there, but the watch was so important that it had to be sold immediately.

So if you want to know why the subject is being raised may I respectfully suggest that you go and look in a mirror.

Now if you have finished making these inane comments we can all go back to enjoying the unveiling of the 50th Anniversary watches by those OF members who are lucky enough to own one.

Cheers, enjoy your day 😀
