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.

 

Thanks for the heads up! Have requested to join the facebook group so fingers crossed

 

Someone posted this today on Facebook ST page; guess we are getting closer to shipment!

 

I have 1403! Close enough?

 

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?

 

Doesn't have to be a swap thread per se, just a thread were people indicates their number and their willingness to trade towards a different number

 

Not my call of course, but that's a bit semantic. You'd still be facilitating a trade on something you don't yet own.

I'd also think that Omega would get pretty peeved if lots of people started to request swaps of serial numbers. They may just refuse but it could put them off a similar distribution method in future.

Probably best to wait until the watches are in possession - after all it's only going to cost shipping each way to swap?

 

That's what I meant, people swapping once in possesion, not pretending to have OB to switch watches.

 

It was a great idea to allow us to choose our own number, but the platform mechanics for choosing the number was flawed from the start. Many, including myself, were not able to choose numbers at all because everyone who was in the system was given a random number once you are in the system. Once the number of people matched the number of available slots at that time, no one can choose a number even though we have not comfirmed the purchase. What Omega should have done was have a list of available numbers visible to everyone in the system. You can then quickly scan and lock the number you want. As long as the number of people in the system does not exceed the number of available slots, everyone in the system is guaranteed to get one.

 

Please don't say that about watch 94

 

Not my number! By the way saw in Facebook that Robert-Jan holds 3 ST pieces (numbered 13, 315 and 1304) !!!!

 

Talking of straps, who thinks it would look good on the Rallye strap?

I just ordered one of those featured on fratellowatches from Italy. Going to try it on my speedytuesday when it comes. The strap is made from a seat that used to be in a porsche 928.

 

For all the USA and Canadian pickup, were you guys told that the prices included taxes or not? I got Omega telling me that in Canada it will be 7300 cad tax included

 

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!
