·I wonder how waiting list allocation will work. If someone fails to pay for the ST at the OB/AD within the time window, does the watch go back to Omega? How does someone from the waiting list get allocated the watch?

I think it's this exact thing that will keep the #ST flippers from making a ton of money right out of the gate. There are going to be those on the waiting list who won't jump on those listings right away if they have an ounce of hope that they may get the phone call from Omega saying they are now eligible to buy one.

·What's the highest number that's been contacted to pick up the watch so far? I saw 612 from the Facebook page. This could be a good indicator for us to start refreshing our inbox.

··This Space for RentMine is in the 300s, and will be delivered to an OB, but I have not heard anything. I honestly don't think 612 indicates much at this point.

·Even if you did flip the ST for around US$10-12K, I just don't think the Daytona is worth its current overhyped US$17-18K price, at least if you are not close to pole position on an AD list to purchase at retail pricing.
Although a possible ST bubble might not last for ever, the current Speedy Snoopy bubble is still holding out 2 yrs after its launch, with watches being sold for US$12-13K.
I do see them as very different watches, and as @patmoon89 just posted above...at some time the Daytona will come down to retail pricing. If you really love the ST, purchase it, hold onto it, and wait for around 2yrs to buy the Daytona. You will have both watches and they will make a great combo😀
Bottom line: can't really see any motivation to flip a new ST purchase in the short term to purchase a non retail price ceramic Daytona.
Best advice.

Good question. I wondered this too. I read somewhere the AD would keep it and provide to their customers. Don't know how true this is.

·It's tempting to flip a ST for a Daytona. But the fact that its a LE and in very low numbers relatively to Rolex production volume, makes me prefer to keep my ST!

·BTW, anyone here collecting their ST in KL, Malaysia? We can meetup for a wrist shot!

Instructions in the letter that was posted to OBs say that the OB should contact Omega if a watch is not picked up, so that it can reallocated to the wait list.

Well I suspect some OB/ADs would rather use it as an opportunity to up-sell VIPs on purchasing two watches. I'm curious if anyone knows what the OBs get out of the sale from a ST. I mean, does the sales person still get commission or does the store get paid somehow? Really what incentive would the OB/AD have for returning it to Omega and possibly losing the sale(s)?

Save a arse kicking at the next general meeting would be enough I would say. 😉
The whole OB and AD are going to keep them for VIPs is a urban myth on the Internet 🤦

·Exactly - I'd say far too risky for the AD/OB. It only takes the original recipient to tell Omega that they aren't picking it up. That's not to say that a recipeint might not legitimately sell it to them I suppose.

How does some one legitimately sell a watch to a OB 😗

·Boutique offers to buy it? Is there some rule that prevent them from doing that and/or selling pre-owned? No idea, never been in one. Certainly an AD could do this without issues.

·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.
exactly. that's why I'm emphasizing the apparent. Doesn't mean that no VIP was able to jump the line... because if there was a line-jumper you'd indeed never know about it 😉
