Likewise

 

There is a price "adjustment" coming (in the UK) on 6th March but the OB manager I've just spoken to cannot confirm the ST will be going up as it is being sold direct and not through the dealer network.

 

I was talking last time about prices and I asked

I asked them if I am right about differend pricing and on picture is email I got 4 days ago.

So there is easy solution for me. Will exchange eur to GBP fast, while GBP is still "low".
When watch arrive I will go with my better half to London and we will have nice short holidays, paid by brexit







I think there will be a lot of emails today from EU to UK

 

Exactly the same with me. I was able to arrange pickup in London and they said the price is fixed at 4100GBP when picked up in Britain.

The only remaining question is: exchange funds now or wait and hope for an even weaker pound?

 

Here a real life picture on my Speedy:

 

Looks great!

 

Just emailed them and asked about changing the pickup location from Sweden to UK. I'll let you guys know how it goes

 

The watch does not lift my skirt but I'd be willing to pay a premium for the leather roll!

 

Subscribed!! Might go pick it up in CH instead of USA...

 

ST set the OF in motion...

 

Wow. I'm wondering if it's worth it to change pickup from USA to London. Does the U.K. Price include VAT? Anyone have an idea of customs charges coming back to the USA?

 

cannot wait for mine later in the year

 

Yes VAT is included in all UK retail displayed pricing by law. Duty on importing watches into the US is around 5% so not too bad. You may even be able to claim the VAT back if exporting out of the EU and save a good few quid that way but you would need to check with the dealer and they understandably may not wish to play ball since you are in effect arbitraging the UK and USA markets and you would need their help for the reclaim. Worth looking into it though maybe.

 

Thanks. Could an omega boutique really decline to provide/complete VAT refund forms? I would think that many tourists buy overseas on holiday and this would be common practice. I've never gone through this process though...

 

Just got a pic of the finished piece I commissioned for the upcoming Speedy Tuesday. Can't wait to hang it in my office.

 

Thanks for sharing my work !!! Was a really fun painting this amazing watch !!!

Will the speedy Tuesday still sell for the £4100 UK price? I have not had anymore e-mails from Omega regarding collection dates. I would think we will here more after Basel.....

 

Here is info I got today from OB in London, when I aksed if I can pa upfront whole amount and avoid price increase

 

Edit: See above for price

I'm not expecting any contact about deliveries until May at the earliest.
