·Omega said delivery would finish by the end of the year. They started in July so they should be 2/3 through the delivery process which feels about right.
Omega Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Moonwatch Gold and Steel. Any in the wild yet?

·Ok, no worries. Can I ask what dealer was this?

·Why do you want to know?
Just curious that's all.

·Looks like approx 75% now delivered. Can’t be long left to go now.
Not sure about that. Didn’t someone have one in the 6,000’s. They deliver randomly I think so no real way of knowing how many are out there. I certainly haven’t got mine and the few I see on here tells me that there are a good few to go. Even Instagram doesn’t have that many posts on the watch which is odd for a supposed hot watch.

We really don't know how many have been delivered worldwide. Firm buyers on OF must be a pretty small percentage of the 6969 total pieces. I'd say somewhere between 50 and 100 (just guessing), no more than 1% of the total production.

·What does your dealer or boutique say at this point? How many more are on the list at your dealer? How many have they gotten in and distributed already? At this point I'd be pressing a bit, just to let them know you are still out there waiting. Once the Christmas shopping season starts their minds are on other things. You don't want to fall in the crack.
I have my doubts on 3/4 of the watches being out there. I suspect this will be rolling on into 2020.....

·I have. Most weeks. I am the first and as far as I know this AD has had none as yet. They have 5 on the list after me and they seem to think they are getting 5 in per their omega rep.

·When I picked mine up on the 26th, just as I walked into the OB, there was a guy receiving his, too.

·Perhaps. I think the distribution is different in the various markets. In the US I was told Boutiques with 100% payments would be taken care of first, then AD's. Since some AD's in the US have gotten watches this would mean all Boutique orders have been filled, but I suspect that is not the case. All you can do at this point is hang on. I know Omega doesn't want this to drag into next year with the Olympics coming up and some expected changes in the Speedmaster line coming. By 2020 they would like to have the Apollo 11 watch firmly in their rear (not Buzz's) view mirror.

·Well, as I said for an apparently ‘hot watch’ and with 7k doing the rounds there are surprisingly few incomings on the forums and surprisingly few pics on the usual places you would expect to see these items shown off such as Instagram. Make of that what you will.....
I think where you have listed your interest will determine who gets what, official OB first, then places like Goldsmiths/Omega Shop, then Omega AD's, that's the way I see the roll out but I could be wrong

·My OB stated that I was not last on the (full deposit) list when I picked mine up on Saturday. I thought I was last because I waited until the release before putting my deposit down. I did not ask how many were after me though.

·I contacted a few OB's about this watch all over the UK in September and were told there is a long waiting list and I was too late. Around end of Sept I saw the watch showing in stock on the Goldsmiths website in a few stores around London. When I called, I was informed they were already reserved for existing customers on a list.
One store informed me there was one watch available in Manchester but when I called them they wanted a Direct Bank transfer to purchase the watch (they would not accept credit card). I found that really weird so let it go (but I've read someone got that one on this of thread-Nice!)
In October I walked into and AD in westfield. He told me he could get hold of the watch as he could see one in stock. I put a 10% deposit down and within 2 weeks got a call to collect the watch!
It seems there is no set rule on how it works perhaps and I was totally surprised to get hold of one.
Mine is number 01XX so a very low number. I really hope everyone manages to get theirs soon enough!

·I got the word from my AD a few weeks back that their Omega rep said mine will arrive around mid-November. Will see...
I was the first on the list the day after the watch was announced, with a deposit that soon followed to lock in the purchase.
For those that are curious, I'm in the US.

·The supply does seem to be drying up, however I have the option to buy a unused one from a friend who bought his when I bought my first watch, but if I take it and it's a big if, I will be offering it as a trade only.
