Went to my UK OB yesterday, they are totally in the dark as when they will receive the watchs, they have only had one so far which was a few weeks back.

Can I ask which OB this was?

Why do you want 2?

Because he flipped the first one for Profit... He admitted it already.

Great read 馃榿. I鈥檝e always said I don鈥檛 mind people flipping or selling for a profit. Definitely dislike double standards though which appears to be what鈥檚 happened here.

Anyway let鈥檚 remain on topic.
I鈥檝e just called my OB (UK) who said I鈥檓 4th on the list. They are expecting 5 and the first one has arrived. They are expecting roughly 1 every 3-4 weeks and anticipate I鈥檓 approx 2 months away.

I just went back to see a piece which is on exhibition. No words can truly describe her beauty ; indeed she is beyond stunningly beautiful. She is infinitely far more beautiful in person than my photos can ever be of her

Some people are dealers who look to profit from the OF membership and claim they are not dealers, me I'm not looking to take a penny from anyone on here and I don't pretend that I'm something I'm not.

Yes, I've bought three times from Chrono24, Spain, Holland and Greece, but not in the last 3yrs or so. No problems with any of the transactions, but others may not have had the same experience, especially in Italy where some dealers can be a little economical with the truth.

Just to confirm that the velcro strap is wrongly pictured in all press photo's in the way it is supposed to be worn. The velcro is to be worn on the outside.

Not wanting to have a go at you or anyone else but from an impartial point of view it did seem like you came down very hard on Taz and then you鈥檝e gone and done exactly the same thing by flipping your own.

Fair enough make a disapproving comment to him but you were relentless on multiple threads, almost to point of bullying. Then you went and flipped yours..... crackers.

Let's turn to Freud and his Projection Theory: According to Sigmund Freud, projection is a psychological defense mechanism whereby one "projects" one's own undesirable thoughts, motivations, desires, and feelings onto someone else. 'Emotions or excitations which the ego tries to ward off are "spit out" and then felt as being outside the ego...perceived in another person'.

I think good old Stufflers Mom projected his own uneasiness with what he was doing onto Taz.

My bill for analysis is in the mail.

I have to admit, waiting this long with such an uncertain delivery schedule when 100% is paid (which I have done) is not sitting all that well with me. I buy a lot of watches, and its one thing if we鈥檙e talking AP, PP, Rolex, Lange etc. But I鈥檓 sorry I struggle with it for Omega. Probably also I鈥檓 frustrated that the OB I put money down with strongly implied it would have arrived by now when they took my money.

Anyway, I haven鈥檛 cancelled my reservation yet so I guess I鈥檒l just keep waiting....

Oooooh, where are you based, I haven't been able to order the 50th but I have ordered a watch that is due later this year but was only asked for 20% deposit by my OB, if I had been asked for 100% upfront I wouldn't have ordered just waited until they had one in stock.

Is it usual for an OB to take 100% upfront when there is no confirmed delivery date?

I think there are many of us feeling the same way. I haven't cancelled either but I think about it everyday. And seeing that people have got watches already that didn't even have a place in line makes me even more irritated. As many have said, Omega had plenty of time to plan for this event and distribution.

In the US, the OB's required 100% upfront. That's why many of us are a bit impatient.
