Just go at back from the OB in Sloane st (London) and had a chat with a very nice lady who informed me it's going to be August before they get them delivered. She also gave me useless fact of the day (well I found it interesting mind) the UK have sold/have reservations for 433 units more than any other country. She also said they are still getting 3/4 calls every day from customers wanting to buy!!

Damn was hoping would be July so it could be a bday present to myself.
Amazingly that means 20% of all buyers are from UK!
Wonder how many of those swapped to UK as pick-up point.
Well, my birthday is August [emoji2]; Mine is one of those 433 units as changed pickup to UK
Did you confirm that you get the UK price? Seems to me that Omega will be taking payment before delivery surely, as one option is home delivery?
I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for getting one while on the waiting list. Hopefully some become available when it's time to pay. Or they somehow find those with multiple watch reserved and remove them completely for being greedy. And if I don't get one, ohh well. I'll pick up my first Rolex.
I plan to pick it up at London, so would pay local price there. I would imagine that if Omega request a payment online before delivery to the boutique, they would charge the buyer based on the price that applies to the selected location. Some people here believe that is not going to happen and payment will be made at pickup.
I hope it comes in july, I am only home for two weeks, so if it doesn t turn up in July it will be another 12 months before I am back in the UK again. I am used to waiting long periods of time before seeing my watches, due to living in foreign countriesbut another 12 months might be pushing it.
Hopefully Omega will be accommodating cases like yours and allow you to pay for it over the phone (credit card, wire, etc.) if you missed your window, allowing someone you select to pick it up or shipping it to you elsewhere.
What is the import tax on the watch if I buy it in the UK or Canada? Currently I'm set for pick-up in the US. Just wondering how much money I can save, and if it's worth all the trouble to buy it outside the US.
No disrespect, but its not 'Unique' is it? There are 2012 of 'em...just sayin'
