I was speaking to them last week on another matter and asked about the ST out of interest and they didn't know what their buying in price was. They just said you will make a profit, but how much they do not know. What happens when they have 10 in stock. At one point last year they had 5 Snoopy's and their buy in price dropped heavily.

 

Well if a given Omega VIP did receive their ST first (excluding the Fratello chaps of course), they were probably told not to brag about it.

Omega have been pretty clear on the Instagram post that Matt was the first Speedy fan to receive the ST. I think it would look a bit silly and go against all their "community" marketing they have been doing on this specific watch if a given VIP were to brag on his/hers Instagram/Forum that they actually received their ST before Matt.

 

I sold them a different watch last week to help pay for this one

 

Offered me 4700 for this!

 

£4.7k for what - the ST?

 

Actually there are quite a few people who have received their STs already. Just search the "speedytuesday" tag on Instagram and look at the recent photos. Some people are posting pics of theirs.

 

Yep

 

Now that would be a tough choice. The Speedyorite was the only Speedy I've owned until now and I loved it and sweared we'd never part, but hit hard times and had to let it go. I'm hoping the ST will be a good replacement for it as I'm not sure I could settle for another Soyuz after having what I considered the perfect dial(they vary quite a bit).

 

Guys can you tell me if it's a phone call or email they give to let you know your ST is ready for collection??

 

And do we pay at the boutique ?

 

Pay on collection

 

Varies

 

Who?

 

One assumes Watchfinder. Matt has already posted that he was offered only £4.7k for his - so some discrepancy somewhere.

 

Yeah, definite discrepancy, mate of mine who missed out on the reservations and is on the waiting list asked them what they'd sell for and was told double retail.

 

From those with past experience, will an OB let you use two cards to pay for the purchase?

 

Yes of course, why wouldn't they!

 

I've been to businesses that won't let you split a bill.

 

That's because they will be charged two transaction fees one from each card issuer. If you just add a sum to cover that I'm sure they will be fine about it.

 

Yes but 3% of $3000 on one card and 3% of $3000 on another card is still 3% of $6000....
