    Picked mine up right before lunch! A quick pic will have to do for now; not going to unwrap it until I get home. This was from an AD in San Francisco. They were allotted and have received three watches - two sequential numbers in the 0-50 range (so I have one of them now), and another in the 300 range.

    This is an AD not an Omega Boutique, but they sell only Swatch Group brands. So I think they're on the same footing as an OB. I put down ~20% in May when someone else relinquished their slot after the watch was released.

    I hope you can find one at your local AD\OB. What I will say it the watch can look very different depending on the light. At times the gold really shines and everything is turned up to 10, then other times the dial can look flat and lifeless and a little hard to read, but it's not very easy to catch on camera.

    F that. Had to put it on. I was sort of doubtful of people saying it's better in person, but I have to agree. Really surprised by the bracelet too, I didn't like the pictures I had seen of it but it works wonderfully. The gold on the piece is understated, just enough to glitter in the right light, but not so much I look like a rapper.

    I went to one of the Omega events at my local store, managed to try both the SS and Moonshine versions, both were awesome but the Moonshine is for when i win the lottery. You're so right about the shine depending on the angle of the light on the SS version. A really nice watch IMHO.

    FYI, I just picked mine up from the Miami Tourbillon Boutique. Had my deposit in since march and was #1 on the list.
    Since Tourbillon is owned by the Swatch group, they are somewhere between an OB and an AD.

    They were initially told by Omega they were getting 4 allocations. They ended up with only 2.
    Apparently all Tourbillon Boutiques in the US were allocated only 2 each. (There are 4 in the US and 13 worldwide).

    Why should other countries, where there aren't any OB's, have to wait till full deposits customers at OB's have gotten their watches. Would only be fair it's being spread evenly worldwide which seems to be happening now as I know NL and BE are getting them in small quantities.

    If being delivered sequentially (which appears to roughly be the case given the small data set) it gives an approximation as to where in the delivery cycle Omega are.
