I never understand why companies over promise on a project like this. Would anyone have batted an eyelid if, when the reservation process took place, they said they will be here by December 2017? I wouldn't.

What has annoyed me about it all is that they are sending them out in dribs and drabs - meaning you are seeing people who go theirs months ago happily wearing theirs - or happily flipping theirs. You see people on the waiting list getting a watch before those on the actual list have gotten theirs (I am not having a go at those who have received their watches this way - all power to you), it is just a frustrating position to be in if you are still waiting.

I think it would have been much better if they had waited until they all were ready and sent them out at once - everyone would get theirs within a few weeks. Any that had QC issues would be dealt with in the same way that any other defect would be dealt with.,

It may be that there was a significant problem with a large amount of the watches - dodgy dials, hands or whatever. But you know what - if that was the case I would much prefer to be told.

These are all good points. If they were all released at the same time it would go some way to discourage flippers as the market would be saturated and the prices commanded would be lower for these guys.

Surely there would be a better chance of these watches landing with people who would appreciate them rather than with those trying to make a dollar of them if they were release in one batch.

We will never know exactly, so this is all speculation. But I tend to disagree in this specific case. There are 27 of them on C24 which I think is rather plentiful given the limitation and a significant number not yet delivered. Prices start at €7000/US$8200. This maybe is a good margin for our brexiteer friends flipping but not so much for everybody else.
I can't read the psyche of the people on the waiting list - but given the amount of involvement here and on FB I don't think demand is very strong among these. This would have been entirely different if Omega had managed to get the watches out while the hype was still hot IMHO. Now it is one of several LEs trickling into the market which dilutes the development of prices. I don't think the market is saturted because of ST but due to the overall number of LEs. This would have been better if one had become available after the other. First the ST. Then the anniversery models. Then the Cernan and what ever is in the pipline as well.

I really like this white/grey rally strap - altough it's not a 1/1 match to the brushed case neither to the subdials;

And yes; #gotmyspeedytuesday

Are you saying that you were not on the waiting list and your OB managed to get you one? I'm glad that you're one of the lucky ST owners but it may upset quite a few people for a good reason sitting on the waiting list since January.

Loving it on the Bond-NATO. But I could literally swap straps, bracelet and NATOs every day. The ST looks so amazing on so many bands …👍

Don’t be such a wussy, unpack it, remove all stickers and post a new picture. Then you’ll get an answer to your question. 😎

Yes your watch clearly arrived with the dial upside down and the crown on the wrong side!

I was on the waiting list, when I made my other purchases we had an in depth discussion about my collection and the fact that I don't spend a lot of time on the web and missed out on the piece but sub sequently had gone on the waiting list. I was told if one came available they would put me forward for it and..... Voila

Happy for you , but still doesn't change facts that there are many people on a waiting list for several many months .
However if you too have been on the official waiting list as well, then you deserve it.

Yeah, I agree but if I was to focus any negativity or
anger it would be to the non collector or non passionate purchaser who jumped at the chance of making a quick buck by pushing a button then pushing a few more buttons on eBay taking full advantage of the non vetting purchase. Where as I feel it should be a more personal ordeal when purchasing any piece especially one which maybe a collectors piece. To which it should be down to the AD to decide if your in it to enjoy or exploit! I do feel very privileged, but also I believe things happen for a reason and maybe it's a reward for the years of collecting and investing in beautiful pieces and small parts of history

Asking prices on the secondary market are starting to dip below USD8000. I think this is creating a quandary for the casual flippers who reserved the ST and are awaiting delivery. There is risk they won't be able to flip for a profit. Hopefully, this leads to cancelling of reservations and allocation of watches to true enthusiasts.

Thanx guys [emoji6]
Think the unboxing is near

The point why so many people are upset with stories like this is, that the waiting list should be managed by Omega HQ in Biel and not at local Omega Boutiques.

Totally disagree with that as the Omega HQ do not know individuals and rely on feed back from boutiques and have faith in their judgement, and fyi the boutique only recommends and has to wait for HQ approval for any ST potential buyers of of the waiting list and as is with all waiting lists in this industry it makes NO difference when you put your name down ! Try purchasing a steel ceramic Daytona for Example....
