They seem to have gone from the main watches/seamaster section of the UK site.

My OB shared a small batch will be shipped to the US soon, but quantities and destinations are unknown. Helpful...;-)

Seems omega is bot really sharing much info with smaller ADs. It’ll arrive along with the invoice is what I’m hearing. Not expectation management taking place on partnof Omega. Which makes it hard for ADs also.

Long time lurker, first time poster.

I took the leap and ordered one from Ernest Jones, they are still showing as in stock so perhaps they've had more than one?

Seems odd seeing as the OBs have had few/none.
Did they give you delivery date ?

To be delivered tomorrow, I'll keep you updated if they dispatch anything today.

Only the central second piece though.
Again, I don’t know if it’s the lighting, the numerals seem a little too small for the dial...

Quite a bit of space on the dial. The sub seconds might fill it up nicely. It's not as thick as I imagined from the comments made by others and the pie is not as defined as in pictures.

I just rang them and it wasn't exactly reassuring. They said that my order was processing, and there was nothing to indicate that it wouldn't be sent today, and that they would contact me if there was an issue, but she didn't want to commit to them definitely having the stock, and it being sent today...

Wait and see I suppose!

They have now cancelled the order, with some waffle about card security. I think they have just messed this up somehow and are making excuses.

Guess I'll have to wait for my turn at the OBs in London.

If you've ordered the central seconds, they should be in stores anytime now. This piece that I posted arrived a couple of days ago at an AD in Asia and is up for grabs. I just went to see it in metal earlier today and took the photo.

Just checked the web site, they say they're out of stock now, I'm guessing they made an error.

I also placed an order with them, just before I posted the link here. It hasn't been cancelled yet.

I'm wondering if they only had one in stock and when that was bought the website didn't update to show out of stock?

Looks they are landing in the UK at last. Small seconds just posted for sale on a facebook group.

I am not the seller and am only posting this as an example of a sighting in the wild. Not an attempt to breach forum selling rules. (Hence crude redaction of original add)
