Dude, I got a rejection for the 317th job I've applied for, in a year out of work about 45 minutes ago.

I'm so filled with rage I can't get the words out - but I have a podcast to edit for Friday, I'm about to head out and record another one this afternoon, and then I'm off to Phillips to take a look at the radial dial Alaska III - I want to punch walls, but what good would it do.

If I do decide to lose my shit, I'll make sure to upload a video. 馃槈

Be careful, the ST is unprotected on the side! Hope the crown of the 60th doesn't leave a scratch on your ST when you flip the latter next month. 馃槈

These aren't going anywhere.

Count me in as an arrival, unexpectedly. I was one of the many Californians deep into REM sleep when these were sold out, so I put myself on the wait list. I got a call today and boom! I'm traveling on biz, so won't see it until I get home, but by this point we've all seen them so I'll just count my blessings and enjoy the piece. Have faith my brothers and sisters on the wait list.

Nice, congratulations! I received an email from Omega when they acknowledged adding me to the waiting list (Jan 12, 7:43am MST) ... Do you still have your email, and if so, could you share when you received it?

I cant believe the big boss wasn't aware of the shutdown. How could that not have been foreseen?
I have no information on that side of things... but to wildly speculate based on things that have been said publicly, and then throw in a little supposition:

In the interview that Raynald gave to the US newspaper, he expressed dissatisfaction with the summer shutdown, and the effects that this has on production... so I'd guess that impacted not just the ST, but delivery of all sorts of less closely watched models.

There's been a lot made of "QC" issues, but it's really a tiny quantity from the look of things, and as disapointing as it must be, they are resolving things very quickly.

Knowing now how fast this project was turned around, from the conversation with Robert-Jan, I do wonder if Omega overpromised on the delivery - with the 60th models already in production plan, along with everything else from Basel 2017, squeezing in 2012 additional pieces, of a different design, to the years manufacturing output, was maybe more complicated that they had expected.

Damn, that's got to be tough! I cannot begin to imagine as I've been at the same company for over 18 years and hopefully many more...

Wish I could offer something helpful... they say you sometimes have to remove some credentials off the list of accomplishments as it might make you 'over-qualified'... maybe take "world famous podcaster extraordinaire" off the CV?

If I do decide to lose my shit, I'll make sure to upload a video. 馃槈
That's the spirit! All we can ask for really... (not that we celebrate your misery, but if it's going to be a spectacle, why not at least let us be spectators? 馃 Should never let a good tantrum or rage-fest go to waste...

I received the email 2 weeks ago. Is the customer service good at the OB?

Nope, I haven't heard anything from my OB. Looks like it will be around 2 weeks for mine to reach SG too then. Enjoy your watch 馃榾

Got my magazine yesterday as well. I guessing the wait will finally be over. For those of you who waited, have you been tempted by another watch in the meantime? This is taking huge amounts of will power on my part. (Don't buy anything, don't buy anything....)

I was in the same boat. Reserved in January, and because they didn't require the full amount (or even a deposit) I'd be able to save up until it came in over the summer.

I bought three watches
