Regardless of whether it is the 'right' way for a Boutique or AD to behave, I'm delighted that you were able to secure what is a fantastic watch! Enjoy it in good health!
I will once it arrives! My AD has now said earliest will be back end of sept and likely Oct/nov. No issues though but am really looking forward to seeing it in the flesh.
Hope you are enjoying yours and that the gold one arrives soon!
That does seem like a long wait, my OB has confirmed they will receive another consignment in September and the likelihood is that there will be at least one more spare ss watch. Either way I hope the wait is worth it for you.
Yes, I think they are airing on the side of pessimism. It is what it is however, and I’m not too worried. Would be nice if it turns up sooner however. They seem to be dribbling through, but I’ll be amazed if they have all 7k out by end of year and I suspect AD’s may be behind OB’s in the pecking order
We discussed this a while back. It is against the law to do this.
BTW in case you do not already know you can check the actual test results for your watch because It has been METAS certified. In my case the summary is as below (on the online you can click on each of the inverted triangles which give you more details on the different tests)
I’ve seen you post this comment a few times. Do you have any proof or links to back this up? It’s not that I don’t believe you, more that I suspect it’s more opinion rather than fact. I don’t have any qualms with placing deposits for watches, cars or other goods.

Yeah, I downloaded my test results before I even put the watch on. I don't think the METAS results mean all that much as to what the real 'on the wrist' performance will be. I've only checked the time over the last two days.....+3 seconds over that time. That's OK for me, and better than the average out-of-the-box performance for the 1861 movement in my experience.
I haven't seen any reference to it but did most people also get the gold plated Omega Speedmaster Fisher Space Pen with their watch? It's a nice item that I found in my shipment along with the little Omega spaceman pin.
No I didn’t get the pen nor the pin - not available. Where is your picture of the watch? So far mine is dead accurate : no visually observable difference ie zero seconds deviation in 2 days that I have powered it but I find winding hard to do as I was gingerly careful when doing it (am ocd about having it in pristine condition). Today I will wear it out for a lunch celebration, my birthday in a week .
Does nobody like their new Apollo 11 watch? Seems alot for sale on Chrono24 considering alot haven't even picked up yet. Mabey this will be a new record for flipping profits or will I see these going for around retail or below in 12 to 18 months this time. I suspect the latter but we shall see.
