How many Australian members that have received their ST? Still waiting on mine

 

Recently picked mine up, words can't describe how nice it is in person! My son lucked out on this one. Now, I have to find something equally as nice for my daughter to inherit. Any suggestions? Snoopy?

 

Received mine two days ago finally.

 

^Lovely shots there!

Congratulations to all those newly received, nice to see them getting out with much more frequency now. Saw somebody on TZ comment that they heard there were only 200 left to deliver, of course no idea their source for that info so take that with a grain of salt.

 

I must be one of the lucky 200 Still waiting

 

Absolutely beautiful shots!

 

The panic is on for folk selling over on Tz, price has gone from £6.5k, to £5.5k, now to £5.1k. They'll be trading at close to retail in a couple of weeks

Glad I'm delighted with mine and no second thoughts, thats some drop.

I always predicted this is how it would play out. Good time to be looking around for those that missed them right now, good luck to those folk.

 

I'd appreciate some links . I couldn't find any of these on TZ

I guess only works if you qualify to view sales corner.

Ah hang on......... Haha. I see what you did there.

 

finally...

Me too!
Oh well...

 

To the lucky ones who have got theirs, how does the brown strap look in the flesh? In some pictures it looks a bit blah and others it looks nice. Not got mine yet so can't tell either way.

 

In person I'd say it feels quite well made and "well thought". It's thinner at the ends and inserting the end into the buckle is very easy, unlike some other straps I've tried.
However the part near the lugs I think isn't thick enough.

 

I don't use it, but did try it for a bit and was actually surprised how much more I liked it than expected. It's certainly super comfy. My thoughts are that if it ages(too early to say, doesn't seem very porous) then it could be really lovely, it has that too new look about it straight from the box if that makes sense.

 

That is my general impression from pictures, that it does not really match the look of the watch, it looks too new. Well I manage to make everything look a bit grimey quite quickly so hopefully it will look lived in pretty quickly

 

Personally if the brown leather strap was the one on the prototype I tried during a recent watch event, I am a little disappointed in the quality but the actual Omega speedy Tuesday might be different. Just my two cents

 

It feels extremely well made but it looks too new and plasticky - there's no grain on the leather. It's essentially a dress watch strap with vintage-style sports strap stitching.

 

The strap is better looking than the online photos but too thin near the lugs. The colour tone of the leather is good. I think they were looking for something that would be consistent with the leather roll in terms of look and feel.
