·Anyone aware what allocation is like for the UK. Every dealer I speak to seems to stop taking any allocation. I thought this was not a limited product ?
Please consider donating to help offset our high running costs.
I was chatting with my UK Omega AD about it yesterday. They have approximately 100 people on their list (they said “don’t worry, everyone on it will be contacted”) and watches will be allocated in strict order. They are happy it’s not a limited edition but mentioned the degree of difficulty Omega will have in the manufacturing process and keeping up with demand; they therefore don’t ever envisage it appearing in a display case. They think the first ones will ship in early November and are as excited as me to see it in the flesh.
I have heard suggestion on other forums that there is an initial run of around 7000 pieces with the first 1000 set aside for the USA. If that is true, it doesn't leave that many for all the other OBs around the world.
It's not a limited edition but production will be limited. The dealers probably don't want 400 names on a list since realistically they won't be able to supply that many people in a reasonable timeframe. I'm guessing that once AD's hit a certain number on their waitlist, they probably stopped taking names until they can start clearing the list with deliveries.
