I like the sense of fun and clever effort put into the reflection of the 105.012-67- So having the ST-1, I guess I am now ready to prime myself for next year's ST-3 issue...

Looks like its £550 - £750 cheaper to buy in the UK, anyone taking an #ST2 trip in August?

For Omega, no doubt.

2012 x

AUD 8,720 = AU$17,544,640
USD 7,100 = US$14,285,200
GBP 4,750 = GB£9,557,000

No cash changed hands today but if they can meet the expected mid August delivery that I saw then that's a very tidy 20 minutes work.

I know there's a lot more in this edition but what does a regular moonwatch without a bracelet retail for these days? Omega website won''t tell me in Australia.


I think they are about AUD7,500

People have mentioned the website crashing

Your never going to get a system where 5000 people are all trying to get 2012 watches at the same time.

The heads up in the US
meant someone posts it on here which ended up a world wide heads up.

Limited Edition means limited so people are going to miss out.

Just started composing my “disgruntled consumer” email to Mr Aeschlimann!
Strangely enough, the Contact part of the Website is kaput too......I wonder why?

I’ll say it again, a very nice Watch, well done to the lucky few........but Customer Experience very poor again Omega. Promises made from the CEO post ST1 have not been kept in my opinion at this moment in time. Hopefully, they can fix that.

I managed to reserve one. My first thought was I was underwhelmed by it, but I thought I would reserve one and see if I like it or not, as padders said, snooze you loose. I think the box and ultraman thingies look a bit childish/geeky;I would be embarrassed to walk out of the shop with that box, definately going to hide it in the bag until I get it home. The watch itself is growing on me, I like a bit of colour on a watch, it makes it interesting. Although I am not a fan of nato straps, the black leather one is a winner. Over all I am happy that I managed to reserve on, but I suspect like a lot of others, it was more a case of buy now decide later. I think this online system sucks for those who missed out, because there are probably a lot more people like me who reserved the watch because you had to in order to own one than true fans of the watch.

Omega really messed up on the webform - a lot of people justifiably pissed over missing one due to errors.

Luckily I test websites most days and immediately I realised there was an issue fired up 3 different browsers. The IE11 one got me a reservation.

I think in the childish department, snoopy napping on your dial takes the prize 😁 The box you can hide but snoopy on the dial not so much
