Be glad they didn’t give your watch to the next person on the waiting list. That’s how I got my Speedytuesday. After two weeks of calls and emails, the watch went to me.

Tintin Tintin
On Nov. 1, I emailed Arthur and he confirmed that my ST already left Switzerland for Thailand. It figured it will be several weeks for it to arrive. I closely watched my emails and calls to my phone since the reply from Arthur. I have also visited the boutique and left my phone number for them to call me as soon as it arrives. By Dec. 1, no one from OB has contacted me.

I finally contacted my friends wife who happened to be Swatch Group country manager here in Thailand. She confirmed that my watch arrived since November and that someone tried to call me but I didn’t pick up. Within an hour, I got a call and email from Omega Thailand for me to pick up the watch.

There’s no way I missed any calls since I was on the look out for the call. Also they did not try to email me even though they have my address on file. Had I not contact my friend, I wouldn’t have know that the watch has already arrived. I’m quite disappointed in the way this has been handled. Why no emails?

At least the watch is here. Planning to pick it up on Christmas Day after my international trip.

The integrity of the waiting list is a bit of a joke. There appears no relevance or logic as to who gets called. People are being called in to collect an ST on the wait list who registered one or two day after it started??

I registered within 30 minutes of the list going up - and no I have heard nothing from Omega. This is seriously frustrating and questions the integrity of the list. If there is no integrity then it would have been preferable for Omega to just not start a list. It is really poor expectation management. Paying lip service to a queue just makes you think - justifiably - that you are being taken for granted. In simple terms the purpose of the wait list appears to be to extricate the email address of WIS people for marketing purposes.....

In the real world I managed to source the watch through the forum - through fellow member KLB - at list. Really nice to meet KLB at the central London OB to pick up the watch. Subject to a an unsolicited, well intended and well deserved champagne case to KLB (he genuinely wanted nothing for swappng out the watch) it showed what a great and generous forum this is. KLB could have made £1,000 - £1,500 hundred on this watch but he chose not to: I recall Pun and TyrantLizard have been similarly generous passes.

Nope, and Authur emailed me this week to say my case back has failed QC so will have to be remade and engraved!. I leave for Canada tomorrow (Sunday) and won't return until mid January so I may be the last. On the plus side my 60th anniversary is ready for me to collect today!! So that will calm the disappointment a little.
Interesting, I got the same email saying my caseback didn't pass.

I was emailed by the president of Omega telling me that my watch has entered QC, and will be shipped December 29th!!! I think I have the last one. So mine should arrive mid Jan 2018.

A lot of people (including me) got the "December 15th" email. You're the first I've heard with the 29th. Sad yours won't make it for the holidays but good to know it's on its way! I feel bad for all the folks that are traveling and unable to collect theirs in a timely fashion. Who would've thought it'd be over an entire years wait for some.

I am not to happy about it. I was told my serial number was unacceptable, so they had to re-engrave it.

Did they give you the option to take delivery as-is?

No, my number is set at 19XX. It will probably be the last one out of the factory. Numbers were randomly delivered, so I have no idea when 2012 was shipped out.

Hi everyone,
I was so excited to take delivery of my Speedy Tuesday today (ironically on Tuesday)... one quick question that i haven’t been able to find on searching this thread and OF: are all the red cards for Speedy Tuesdays stamped with “Omega Boutiques USA”. Thanks in advance. Just getting into Omega. Got my first modern one in October (Speedy Pro hesalite) and as the bug has bitten me, couldn’t pass up the opportunity, even at a premium, to add the Speedy Tuesday.

Proud owner here!

A small rant about the purchase experience at the OB. I’m very particular about the boxes and the manager who took it to me just manhandled the box, everything felt so rushed. I was there probably 10 minutes and this was the first time I didn’t get offered even a glass of champagne (just some water).

Note to boutique people: don’t touch customer property without asking, and let us enjoy the experience of unboxing ourselves

I think all people with undelivered STs should get a free Snoopy strap 😀
Great Idea

I have not been on this thread for some time, since I missed out on the launch day reservation and went on the waiting list (without much hope of getting one). I have watched with envy the Speedy Tuesdays appearing on WRUW today. To get to the point, yesterday I received an email from Omega saying that my name had reached the top of the waiting list and a watch was available for me, has anyone else had this happen to them recently, I really thought they were all gone long ago.
Of course on the rebound from failing to get the ST I made sure I ordered the Speedy 60th, which has not yet arrived!
I will keep you informed of developments.
