"A short update: it is going to happen soon (as in: very soon). In batches, so not all 2012 at once. As far as I understood, some low numbers will be first but it is no guarantee (depending on the QC process). Hope this helps killing the waiting time."
First time poster (but long time lurker) so please excuse me if this should go to another place in the forum.
I have been looking to get a speedy for a while and as soon as I saw the ST I loved everything about it and was luckily enough to reserve one. I currently have 2 watches - a AT8500 grey and a rolex gmt blnr - so the ST will get plenty of wrist time. This year my brother had his first child (my first nephew) and one day I would love to pass on the ST for a significant birthday (18th / 21st) given its a limited edition from his birth year (and a beautiful watch).
I know this is a very long shot but would make it even more special if I was able to get the number to represent his actual birthday - either 0417, 0414 or 1404. My number is 0393 and if anyone on this forum has one of those numbers (and the numbers isn't significant to them), it would be really amazing to be able to swap numbers in advance of picking up the watches (assuming omega would support that).
There is a closed Facebook page for the Speedytuesday. A few people have posted their numbers there so you could join that and see if anyone has a number you are looking for.

I believe a swap thread on OF would be banned until the watches are actually delivered, as effectively you would be trading something you don't own?
Probably best to wait until the watches are in possession - after all it's only going to cost shipping each way to swap?

Yea its just fraught with risk until the watch is in people's possession, and it goes beyond a watch FS or FT listing in being effectively (If I'm using the financial term correctly) a watch futures contract of sorts. So there's all of these instances of what if #94 and #1092 trade then due to some unforeseen error #94 was double booked or allocated and that person loses their place, does the trade stand and that guy miss out or does the trade unwind, or if someone fakes a confirmation letter (it takes 30 seconds to do) to get a slot when they didn't have one etc...
We're not doing that here, unless you have the physical watch in your possession you don't get to sell or trade it here, its just a minefield of what-ifs and risks.
Oh... I just pulled some numbers out of the air I forgot how many people here own them lol

Talking of straps, who thinks it would look good on the Rallye strap?
Just smiling to myself at the Porsche 928 seat origin of your strap, you might want to disinfect it beforehand as that strap's going to have stale farts and cocaine residue from the 80s on it lol
Well lucky then that the donor wasn't an early Turbo 911, because a related, oversteer-induced, theoretically solid, but probably not exactly viscous substance, might well be lurking therein!
