No problem as far as I'm concerned. They'll end up in the hands of people who appreciate them at the price they're prepared to pay for it.

 

For sure. No problem on my end either. I knew from the beginning this would be the case. I understand the offense some true heartfelt Speey lovers felt at others profiteering from a "passion piece" but such is business.

Please be nice, I still awaiting my ST in the North West.

No sign of it yet *sigh*

Cant wait !

 

Welcome Kippax, recognise that name from somewhere, TZ or the facebook group?

 

Thanks for the welcome. Yeah I'm a TZ'er.

Been viewing this thread for a while and I fanced the idea of jumping in.

 

Thank you, I'm on the waiting list, and greatly appreciate you turn it down. I hope the OB returns it to Omega so it can go on the person on the waiting list. i'm refreshing my inbox now, expecting Omega to tell me that a watch is available.

 

"expecting Omega to tell me that a watch is available."

Well you might not be the only one...

 

You and 10k other people...

 

Isn't the procedure that they email all 10K to notify them that one is available, pull the name of a boutique somewhere in the world out of a hat and declare that the first person through the door gets the watch. If not then it should be, for sheer comedy value.

 

Why should they? Put yourself in their shoes...

 

Because those are the rules that have been set out by HQ... and is your job work breaking the rules for?

 

What rules? Nobody said all 10k on the waiting list will get emails when 1 will become available.
They will keep the process as easy and straight forward as possible.

 

Whoosh.

 

You would think so, but you would be wrong.

The watches go back to HQ, and the next on the list gets offered the watch.

I have been told this by multiple people at Omega.

It sounds beyond nuts, but it's what they say they are doing.

The Boutique is not allowed to just call a potential customer, and offer the watch up.

 

You realised I was joking, right? The clue was in the last sentence I thought.

 

I am afraid, no! I am not native english, sorry... You're right, the last sentance...

 

Omega says I'll get a call within the next two weeks to schedule a pick up. I don't have to get it within a day or two of calling right? I can schedule it for like a week later? I'm going away on vacation and don't want to miss this now.... :-/

 

Be proactive. call your OB and let them know. It can't hurt.

 

Yes call them. As they don't know who the watch is for.
My watch turned up at AD and unless I called them they would not have known who it was for. It didn't come with a nsme or anything.
We discussed this and as he said nobody else would know it was there and what number they were picking up. You don't need any proof of who you are just need to know the number and were it is.

 

So don't advertise were you are picking up or the number as any one could call in with cash and collect.
