Made a pass. I would like to leave it to someone else, who would hopefully enjoy it and will not flip it. Otherwise it is clear that I might have bought it and if I did not like it I would have been able flipping it at list price immediately, but that’s not my cup of tea. That would be unfair to someone queuing already and hoping to get it. Looking forward to James Bond themed Seamaster and next year Snoopy!
My OB called me today on the arrival of the Apollo 11 50th steel, I head down to the boutique to view the watch in person.
Without any regrets, I turned down the watch offer as I feel the gold portion is just too much for me. Hope someone on their waitlist would be able to get theirs.
THIS is how it’s done Stuffler. Pay attention. Well done rominvicta, very honourable of you.
Thanks for that, it's just reminded me to ask if the option of that 3rd watch has turned up yet.
Chomp chomp 😁
I think you will be the chomp when you find out what we already know.
How can you be so sure that I’m not going to get one? You’ve not even got a clue where I’ve placed my order 😁
We both know that you always had a slim chance, and now slim's out of town.
I’ve never said I’ve got a slim chance. What makes you think I won’t get one?
Because you are probably on a second string list that's a backup list of names who are hoping that enough people pass from the actual list and because Slim is out of town.😀

Sorry to disappoint you but I’ve been in almost weekly contact with my supplier. I know exactly what number I am on the FIRST (and only) list and I know how many they’ve received so far. I’m 100% getting one despite only laying down £500 deposit. They’ve also took my deposit for another watch, of which I’m first on that list.
Sorry mate. Sucks to be you right now.
Good to see deliveries continue slowing.
Not sure why you think it's good to have deliveries slowing but it does appear deliveries to people on lists here on OF have slowed dramatically. Not sure if that means anything, maybe just a pause or maybe most deliveries have been made and they are just allocating the last pieces.

I think the Buzz (pun intended) around these has dropped off significantly in recent weeks, I enquired today with the dealer who bought my first two watches and the reply was they would only considered a commission sale. So they are struggling to get the £12k they have been asking.
Agree the initial flurry of excitement has abated but that was to be expected, but £12k is still way over list price in the UK market. I'm sure they would still move swiftly at list price, of course that leaves no profit for a business who has to make a profit on the secondary market. But if the current market price is holding at the initial Omega sales price it does show some resilience for the guy who bought for his personal collection. Of course still very early in the game and anything could happen.
