··This Space for RentI missed out on my son's birthday as well (0215). So I went with mine. Probably best, as it makes the watch more divorce-proof 😁

·Likewise ... refreshing constantly, for hours on end. Absolutely nothing. I'm beginning to wonder if my work network is blocking something...
No, I'm afraid that's the state of affairs at this point. I am not sure I agree with Omega's "reserve without (down-) payment" policy... .
If someone changes their mind between now and June then it could very well be the Speedy goes to some other Boutique customer instead of you and the many others still hitting the refresh key...
Not that fair imho... 🤔

Agreed! They should have asked for a deposit. But maybe they are not setup for online ecommerce on their site (yet)?

At this point between the thread and people who've asked privately there's still around 24-26 people here that wanted one but didn't get a reservation but I'd imagine those people will still have a chance around the time payment is due, there may still be 1 or 2 more that trickle out from confirmation emails expiring but I'd say those are pretty much exhausted by now.

While I don't know what method those will be handled with, I wouldn't be overly surprised if they simply were vacated and made available again online at that point. This is the first time there has been an online offer of this type so there will undoubtably be careful attention paid to it and I'm sure they will continue to optimize the process.

I'm not savvy with this, but perhaps something is preventing Omega from taking deposits from an e-commerce basis. Especially in the US where they can't sell direct to the customer (i.e. as simple as the Extract from Archives when it's not even competing with any stores).
While on the West Coast some individuals didn't even get a shot from a timing perspective, imagine if they decided not to even reach the US market by accepting deposits. The fact that money exchanges hands (be it deposits) "counts" as a sale. And of course, how it ultimately effects demand simply by asking individuals to fork over money right away.

·Going to give it another hour or two before giving up for good. I'm surprised I'm not banned for DoS'ing Omega's website with refreshes.

·lol I wish mate but I'm getting flooded with private messages asking me if they've missed out or if there's some way they can get one, all I can do is tell people what RJ told me, which is that the high number of visitors browsing looking at numbers is causing them to be locked for 15 minutes at a time and if you do want one, to keep trying and try to be patient as there are still more that haven't been spoken for.
I also really do want people to get one the first time around and not end up having to buy off eBay or scalpers later on down the track, these belong on people's wrists not on an auction block.

I think it is a difficult problem to solve in a fair way, perhaps they could have done it by allocating an equal amount of watches to each continent. Any left not watches that are left within a certain period could be moved to another continent. I am not sure how easy this would be to actually do but if possible it might be a solution.
I wonder how many would have been ordered if a deposit was required, Basel World is just around the corner and there might be some wow watches there. On reflection, if I had been asked for a deposit I think I would still have ordered one, but if something pops up in March that I like more then I would probably go for that one.
The most important thing is that a similar situation to the Snoopy release is avoided where some people bought multiple watches which they then sold on for more money. I think that is a real shame for those who really wanted to have that watch in their collection.

·We don't know for sure though. I mean, can't you reserve with multiple email address, variations of your name, mutliple shipping addresses?
If someone wanted to hoard these for flipping later, it isn't impossible.

·GRRRRRR... no luck at all for me. I seem to be chasing low probability events these days 🤬
If anyone doesn't want their allocation (I know.. but it's worth a shot!), pls let me know... many thanks!

·It's been weird, though. At least every two or three refreshes, the page doesn't fully load. Either it's stalled on a server side response (perhaps checking to see if a slot is available), or I'm being throttled somehow.
I'm only refreshing every few minutes, often with 15 minute breaks in between.
I do feel pathetic, though. 😲

You are not alone good sir! I was refreshing since waking yesterday morning and up until about midnight PST and then again starting at 8am this morning.
Behold my fields of luck and see that they are barren!!

I had to inform an Omega boutique for pick-up during my reservation process. I am surprised they did not make that a general restriction for all reservation.
I know this would be unfair with those thousands of KM away from the nearest one, but from a business perspective you would want to direct the watches to locations where you will likely have repeat customers at the OBs after this initial sale + grey market flippers would have to have multiple staff going into the boutique to pick-up each hoarded watch.
