Visited my OB today and they had this book already so I have glanced through it. It is really nice however as someone else mentioned, it is not more then a book with high resolution pictures. Just a few pages of texts.
My OB told me if I purchase a watch they will give me one copy as they cannot sell it separately.

I think this would have been a good opportunity for Omega to start updating and expanding on AJTT by product line, one volume at a time. Still, I like good watch photo books, so I may yet consider it.

I’m still getting one. It will be a fun book to look through but yes a little disappointed that it wasn’t in the same vein as MWO.

Yesterday, Wed. Sept 26, AMAZON sent an update on my order with an estimated delivery date range Oct 15- Oct 19. I'm impressed!

What's been keeping them all these years ? 😕

I noticed that Omega has been posting some of the pages aka pictures on their official instagram.

What a shame....
Just had a look at their IG feed, and i’m not impressed if these are samples of the pictures in the book. Looks like they aren’t even interested in showcasing fully original watches in the book either, just have a look at this Ploprof 600 with service bezel and luminova dial + hands... 🙁

Yup that's what I was talking about. I can just scroll through Omega's IG instead of buying the book.

That's just poor form. It's such a missed chance with this book, the Seamaster line is probably the most diverse of them all and a comprehensive collector's edition would have been welcome by all I'm sure. This just feels like empty headed marketing candy.

Cancelled my Christmas present from my son, was hoping it was going to be so much more but as discussed and having seen the book in an AD I’ve cancelled my order.
Great photos and is definitely a coffee table book but your not going to get many hours enjoyment out of it.

Regards
Jon

From my perspective, as someone who does product photography (not I hasten to add the phone grab shots I've posted on here) I think the ones I've seen so far are boring and TBH a bit nonsensical from an artistic perspective as well! I might have to do a sequence of arty shots of my own!

Don't you mean time to follow Omega on IG?

Funny that they aren't selling them but Amazon is.

I see there are already second hand copies on Amazon, glad I cancelled mine and put the money toward a new watch.

Well, my copy just arrived.

First thought - "what, no Aqua Terra Railmaster???"

Just received mine, and I did not know of the reviews. I am pretty disappointed. However, it is a nice picture book for house guests to view. You can point out the watches that you own. Also...the 80s were an ugly time that becomes apparent. Too much emphasis on Bond.
