Number 10!

Couldn't wait til next week, so took a two-hour trip in the rain to pick it up.

I still wasn't sure I would take it until I saw it in the flesh, but I love it!

Congrats!! I've had a few people who've seen mine comment that they thought it looked too busy in pictures, but that in person it just works.

Omega changed their pre-order process from Speedy Tuesdays at least by collecting 500 half or full price deposits from enthusiasts up front. However Omega continue their random fulfillment process — some ST2 pre-orders have still not been delivered — rather than delivering the H10s to the November/December schedule advertised when the Watch was offered. This isn’t a Kickstarter campaign. It’s just plain arrogant.
My recommendation is that you don’t participate in the preorder process in the future, you’re gonna give yourself a heart attack with your daily rants.

Thank you. You’re right. Rants gone. Sorry for any offense.

I wonder what this special limited edition gift those of us that are waiting on Hodinkee Shop to deliver our watches will be receiving.

Interesting edition, would have to see it in the flesh but there are others I like better. I think all makers are assigning numbers randomly these days, so number 100 may be cased up and released before number 50 is even started. Unless you are a freak about a certain number (many Asians are number obsessed) it really means nothing. No 1 might fetch more than No 73, but who cares if you have number 6, 12,or 21?

From the omega boutique I presume???

Of course. You can only pick this watch up from an OB, not AD

Congrats! Based on your reply, I wasn’t sure if you were saying that hodinkee’s special gift was chocolates and champagne. Those who ordered from hodinkee got an email stating that something extra will be in their delivery.

Congrats! The travel case that pops out of the box is really cool! 👍
Blancpain has a similar thing with their boxes, a pop out travel case. Another Swatch Group brand.

Still waiting & seeing others coming for sale.

HODINKEE has gone dark since that email before Christmas so have no idea what is going on. How hard is it to deliver 500 units of an item?

Read the fine print. Most of those for sale in the aftermarket have not yet arrived. And some of them have already been sold for more than the retail price!
