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.
Omega just emailed me to say mine will be issued in January.
Any others also contacted?
Delay is said to be down to a caseback engraving issue, and so a new caseback needs to be engraved.
Seems a bit of an odd reason to me, given the known issues are all with production the dial.
Sad by the news as after the disappointment of not received the watch for my July bday had been hoping for it as an Xmas present. Oh well, not the end of the world.
Have you seen details pictures of the inside and outside of caseback? Check them here:

That swirl pattern with engraving over the top looks to be fairly complicated. The whole design isn't even centered in the pictures of that watch. Something like that - which we would probably never see (or care about) - might be viewed differently by QC. Wonder if that is what was flagged in QC with yours?
You've lost me there, what swirl patterns over the engraving? Thought the only engraving that differs from the normal is the wording and LE numbering.
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
