The timestamp on the email in my inbox was ~3am Pacific.

 

If you want one you'll be able to get one. Nearly half of these reserved won't be paid for. Reserving without a deposit might be the dumbest thing I have ever seen, not to mention Basel in a few weeks.

Awesome looking watch, just like all the other LE Speedmasters

Omega should sell a membership for which I just automatically get every version of a Speedy Pro they can think up.

 

Agreed. I was ready to pay on the spot!

Those of you who received reservation emails, what are the terms? Did they specify a deadline?

 

Who will be the first one to date post his "reservation" in the FS section?

 

Got one!

Reserved my anniversary date. Would've liked to have my sons bday but wasn't available....maybe I can trade for it later!

 

Is it me or I remember a member posting his CK2998 for sale before he got it?!?

(At cost, granted, but still... he didn't have the watch in his possession...)

 

Thank you for this.

No reservation flipping, please!

 

Damn !!!!

 

How can you tell? The site seems to be behaving the same way now as it was when I first tried this morning...

 

It's a confirmation email, similar to when you register to be a part of the forums. You have to click the confirmation link in order successfully to register but in this case reserve.

Payment according their T&C is payable before you are officially allocated the watch in the summer. They are saying about 30 days before the date, you should get a phone call saying they have the watch, pick up a certain boutique, do you want it type of thing.

 

yes, I remember now Darren Nice gesture btw... also showing the limits of the "no FS if watch not in possession" rule, too

 

I'm over the moon with my confirmed reservation. This Speedy is a real beauty, thanks Jan for your involvement, passion and influence!

I have an appointment on Friday in my local Omega Boutique and will let the manager know on this occasion that I make him personally responsible that I get my Speedy.

 

Understood. So I *might* have a chance later tonight if some people don't confirm.

 

Exactly. On the other thread, Robert-Jan mentioned that most of it should be gone by now; however, if an individual does not confirm their email within 24 hours the watch is released again.

 

Perfect. Thank you!

 

Admittedly, I'm feeling quite bummed on missing out on reserving one for myself. Being an obsessive goofball, I even carried my phone around in my pocket all morning checking and refreshing the page in between patient care appointments. Alas, no luck for myself. However, I am very excited and happy for all those members whom were able to reserve theirs. I will look forward to upcoming picks to live vicariously through!
