Missed it due to West Coast / lack of compulsive forum reading first thing in the morning. Refreshing all day. Very cool looking watch.
I didn't say they were all gone. I'm just telling guys to keep on refreshing. It's like the old iPhone reservation mentality. Quick clicks or wait until something frees up, but eventually they will be snatched up. It's a reservation and doesn't require deposits or payment. Just like their terms and conditions of not officially committing on the watch for you (they can always cancel your reservation without reason), there is no liability for those who decide to confirm the entire process and decide its not right for them come summer. Either way, cheers! I'm stoked for mine (hopefully).
Wannabees will be selling the waiting list slots much earlier, they've learned how to from their Porsche retailers Pictures, or it didn't happen !
Keep on trying bud. I'm on the West Coast and I got one when I woke up when I typically do... although I did see Omega's sneak peak last night.
Ah. I didn't see it last night, and thought it was a prank at first this morning as I saw the Fratello post way before Omega's
I greatly suspect Hodinkee will have an Omega LE down the line given the obvious success of this exercise. I don't see how US can complain over what is, after all, an edition from an EU based website. Sure if the position was reversed I'd be disappointed, but not surprised at not getting first shout.
Wish I was up later last night. The one night I sleep early because I'm sick... Continuing to refresh hoping a slot opens up. This is a bit pathetic (feeling on my part).
The way omega have done this means Omega knows every single customer and what number they bought and flipped at a premium (should it fetch a premium). I deal with Porsche on a regular basis and they know the flippers and trust me a black list exists. Any GT product here in the UK you don't stand a chance now in getting one unless your VIP and have a track record of owning GT Porsche's from new.
Sweet Christmas! This is the Speedy I've wanted for years, but the limited edition shenanigans is annoying.
I imagine these will be the next snoopy. Similar amount released and what seems to be the same amount of interest in getting one. I would be more interested in a snoopy than one of these and its annoying to see them sitting in there boxes unworn while the prices stay high due to demand. Will be lots of ST ( Speedy Tuesday ) Speedmasters sitting around unworn with the stickers still on in years to come. ( see if the ST ) catches on you saw it here first.
A friend of mine was offered his buy-in + 80k£ for his waiting list position for the GT3RS 4.0L by a dealer from UK. Same here, Omega know which number one initially reserved, they don't where it will end up after delivery. And do they care? seriously?
Around here Porsche (DC area of the US) does in fact care. The dealerships have more VIPs clamoring for them then they can accommodate, so they give the best customers first shot at reserving. Sell your slot to someone else and you may not get a shot at the next version.
Been refreshing all day. On what basis do more open up anyway? Are people getting emails with requests to pay in full, and if they don't, their allocation is released?
