·So... Damn... Excited...
Please consider donating to help offset our high running costs.
Shame they're not sending them out in number order, had hoped to be in the first 100 to receive but now might be last!
I wonder what happens if you miss the AD call... like how much time passes before they re-allocate your watch. I'm sure this has been already discussed, but this thread is too long to look back.
I would expect an email notification from Omega in which the details of when/ where the pick-up should take place are outlined. And I am sure there will be a time window of at least several days to arrange the pick-up.
Given how much our currency (and therefore buying power) has decreased I think you should let us Brits have this one.......Fairness would to be to buy in your own region in your own currency, clearly Omega are attempting to make up for the fact that 8'd now have to pay a third more than historically to buy a slice of Pizza in NY.
I am assuming slim to none, but what are the chances those of us here in the U.S. can make a claim to our pickup location that we are paying more for the same watch just based on our geography. Sure there are import duties involved, but wouldn't there be in any country outside of Switzerland and not nearly high enough to justify such a high price premium vs. other countries (e.g., U.K.). Plus, according to Omega's website, the U.K. price includes VAT (20%) and the U.S. price does not. That makes the difference even bigger! Just curious if anyone has tried to make this claim on other products and if Omega is at all receptive to this. Absolutely not trying to be cheap, I guess just trying to make it more "fair".
While it is definitely unfortunate about the British pound, I am just trying to level the playing field. In my opinion, pricing in one country shouldn't have to make up for pricing in another country (excluding import duties). It should be the same price for the same product. Despite this, I am beyond excited to see this watch in person and am buying in my region and currency.
