路Unfortunately, the clock has not yet landed, but a few other little things.
Omega Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Moonwatch Gold and Steel. Any in the wild yet?

路An item was offered for sale at a given price. You decided to purchase it. I'm not sure why you would expect the dealer to give you anything else, much less an additional item that retails for $160.

路路@SpeedyBirthYearI do not "expect" anything, just wondered if he was "offered" anything as when I put my 20% deposit down I did ask for some discount which I could not have but the sales person said they would make sure I received "something extra" when I collected the watch.
Hi @Kingkongsfinger,
As mentioned by others; I would not really expect something major. That said, from experience collecting a few other watch purchases from an OB, there usually is a serious effort made to make it a memorable and worthwhile experience. This usually comes with a few small gifts (in the same league as showcased by @weimi1 above) and some nice beverages (read: champagne), of course combined with a nice conversation.
On OF, we have had similar conversations many times and the only thing I can assure you based on those is that every country and perhaps even every OB has her own style of treating their esteemed customers. I am sure they will all go at length to make it a nice time and will go the extra mile. How, that remains a guess... Please share when you know! 馃槈

I asked for a NATO and I got one, they also gave a champagne bottle 馃槈
If you don鈥檛 ask they might as well not give you what you want...

路Got the call yesterday. Picking up Saturday. AD in Chicago area. Wish I was more excited but it鈥檚 feels a little anticlimactic at the moment. Hopefully seeing it in person and trying it on changes the feeling.

Initial word was approximately 10%. But who knows. My boutique was supposed to get 4. They only got 2 and won't be getting the other 2.

路I've bought numerous watches from the nearest Omega Boutique to here and have received nothing but the free promotional stuff they sometimes give out, like a Spectre pen three years after the movie came out. It's a small Boutique so it probably really depends on the location

路Good luck, hope you enjoy your piece otherwise it should be able to fetch a good price above what you paid for it if you choose to sell. Maybe you had it easy (you were guaranteed a piece since you are first on the list at your OB) ; maybe hunting season is over for you, date of A11 landing has past. When you were told on the day the daily paper carries an advert on it that there is already a 100 people on the waiting list in addition to those 60 who already made their deposits at the OB and they cannot accept any more new people to be added to that list , and then you call other ADs and they said sorry as was I ... your prospectives would be very different I assure you.
Hope you luck out and can get your hands on one. When I told people I prepaid for the watch they laughed at me saying it鈥檚 not a real LE because 6969 is way too many watches and that there鈥檒l be a bunch of them just sitting in display cases. Glad they seem to be wrong.

路August is going well here. Just come back from a holiday on this beach:
and have got an email saying my stainless steel watch has arrived. No deposit paid (it is illegal in the UK as we have discussed before). It is coming from a UK AD (not boutique). Will be collecting Monday so will post pictures then.

路One person wait is over, others yet to pass and wise saying goes: patience is a virtue.
Be patient and the mulberry leaf will become a silk robe. With patience, the grass will be milk soon enough. Have patience and Apollo will land on your wrist.
Ok I am checking my WhatsApp, and will be reaching for the phone if nothing happens in this month (to be fair that鈥檚 what they say at the start, likely aug .)
