Yeah, likewise. Maybe the few were delivered to whip up the fervour and get everyone excited/taking about it.

It’s definitely worked!

 

Southeast Asia.

 

I'm sure that by September there will be a couple out there with the protective stickers removed, bracelet sized and people actually wearing the damn things, but maybe not.

 

Assuming I like it in the metal, one will be mine!

 

I would like to take over yours hoping you won’t like it

 

Good for you. There's a fair bit of nervous excitement around the watch at the moment regarding it's "hot watch" status and potential profit making ability.

 

I know, but it’s just the nature of these things at the moment. If I like it I will buy it and wear it, if I don’t then I’ll pass and let someone else have one at retail.

I’m just pleased to be in the queue for once rather than having missed the boat.

 

You have to be in it to win it! Very much looking forward to the gold and stainless steel pieces arriving here.

 

But won't be selling before anyone asks.

 

As a lucky purchaser of both, have you asked if there is any possibility of you getting the same number for both pieces? That would really be something.

 

Do you know, that never crossed my mind. So, no, I haven't done that. I know that it was incredibly difficult to get the gold piece allocated but I did badger my Omega AD for about 5 years about it (and bought other stuff in the meantime). (And when I say 'about it', the conversation was basically 'whatever they do to mark the anniversary I will buy it' - clearly no-one knew about what they were going to produce although his predictions were pretty close).

 

Might be worth asking the question if it interests you. I’m sure the fact you are spending a considerable sum would at least get them to ask a few questions and considering so few watches are in the wild I can’t imagine it would be too difficult to make happen.

 

No harm in asking!

 

Copy of photos of me wearing it yesterday with James in the background

 

Congratulations. And enjoy your new timepiece.

 

Checked in with another boutique in my area yesterday (CA, USA) but not the one I have my deposit at and was told basically they have no idea when they are coming but should be soon......Not soon enough lol.....

 

Macro shots from my beauty:

 

From those photos I can't tell if the stickers have indeed be removed or if the bracelet has been sized or not.

 

With 5 of these for sale on Chrono 24 and not many actually being sent out yet looks like there will be more flippers than in a seal colony.
