    I also received mine yesterday from Seattle boutique, #12xx. It is truly beautiful and striking in person, and I'm definitely keeping it. The leather strap is really high quality, I think it will age nicely. Overall, the wait was hard, but I'm thankful to be one of the few who was able to secure a reservation.

    This is the month when all STs should be delivered and I've still not received any emails or calls. The wait is real.

    Same on my side @mpcdude. Anyone in South Africa heard anything from Omega or received their ST?

    If Omega don't have these delivered by the end of the month they will have really failed IMO.
    The ducks should have been in a row before they created such hype.

    Interesting and slightly stroppy first post. Why this month? Why not last. Or next?

    Thanks :)
    Guess I'm just bored waiting and would appreciate the same efficiency in the fulfilment department as the marketing department.

    According to what I heard at the boutique...you have five days to pickup/pay..if not, it gets sent back/reallocated. I assume this is what they mean by amended for the waiting list.

    New owner from the UK here in the mid 500. This is my first Speedmaster and I have to say it looks gorgeous.

    Very classy and stylish. The reverse panda look really sets of the watch.

    Anyone know what metal strap would go with it?

    Thanks.

    Eh? How does that work...'you are free to negotiate with Omega on the price of your watch"?

    This after I have paid 3.2K for the slot.

    I guess it works out at a £7.5Kish ST.

    Answered my own question.

    Duh.

    Happy to say I brought mine home this afternoon. No photos yet, as the watch is still packed up due to curious 4-year-old. The OB said they had about 30 #STs going through them (<10 arrived so far; mine was in a batch of 3).

    They also had a 60th Anniv Seamaster in the window.-- it definitely looks nice

    Well, yesterday was the day. Took the two-hour drive up past Sacramento to the only Omega Boutique in NorCal, at Roseville. Got home, changed the strap, and called it a day - because it's simply too hot to be excited about, well... anything, really. This was the weather forecast I intrepidly drove my S2000 - top down, of course - into yesterday:
    [​IMG]

    That's 43 C for those of you who use a logical system of temperature measurement.... My apartment wasn't much cooler here in Oakland when I got home, and there's no A/C here. Not a fun night.

    What was fun, though, was spending pretty much the entire afternoon talking watches with the Boutique manager, who seemed as excited just to see a Speedy Tuesday be delivered as I was to receive it! Really awesome guy, frankly with the way Omega's product lines are trending and the level of service at the Roseville Boutique, I'm actually rather thankful it's two hours away otherwise I'd be in there too often spending far too much money!

    Anyway, as it cools off somewhat, I'm able to enjoy the watch a bit more. It's a cool watch, it has a sort of icy character with the silvered hands and brushed case. I was surprised that the brushed case wasn't as distinctive at first, but then I was wearing my XI-45 (brushed titanium case) when I picked it up :) Still overall, it's a very subtle execution, with the vintage logo and text not quite popping out but rather cohesively receding into the whole of the watch. Something that does catch my attention though, and which wasn't pointed out in the release in January, is that the bezel is brushed as well, while it's polished on the standard model. It makes sense of course, but I think the brushed bezel is far more attractive than the polished standard version.

    As someone way, way down on the wait list I'm honestly enjoying these pictures posted in this thread.
