Delivery will start in August, not unit by unit. Omega took their measurements based on ST1. The issue there had to due with the dial and case production (especially the latter).
Of course the e-mail from Omega alerting me to the release came a few minutes after I had made the reservation...I'm guessing too late for many. Based on the consolation e-mail from Omega that went out in January I assumed that those of us who were early wait-listers for the original ST would be given a non-frantic pre-reserved option on the new Ultraman, but that turned out to not be the case. I hope the third time around they make sure that people who were on both waiting lists get a fair crack.
Yesterday evening I did it.
I watched Ultraman, first episode. Somebody posted this link few days ago:
How many of you watched it too?
A fellow Jambo! Welcome
I managed to reserve an ultraman so if you see one at Tynecastle it’s probably on my wrist 😉
Another Jambo here too 👍
Got an Ultraman on reservation. Need to see it in the metal though. My ST1 has made a few trips to tynecastle 😎
I think I’m the only jambo who missed the list . If you don’t like it in the flesh give this jambo a shout
Hi folks,
Newbie here who would very much appreciate some advice. Unfortunately I missed the ultraman though I am on the reserve list.
Do i have a realistic chance of acquiring one on the reserve list? Also when is it that omega begin processing payment for the watches?
Finally, I have a very good chance of acquiring the 2018 CK2998 from my AD soon, I’m tempted to wait out for the ultraman but if I have little chance then I will go for the ck2998 so all thoughts much appreciate. Thanks in advance.
Thanks Southern Scot that’s an extremely helpful reply, very much appreciated. I’m from Edinburgh. Lots of great background information there. With that in mind I suspect I will go for the ck2998 when I get the chance then. Cheers!
Long-time Speedy admirer and browser of this forum. Always been a fan of the Snoopy and the Racing edition, so the colourful/playful aspects of the ST2 tick all the boxes for me. The Ultraman is also going to be my first Omega, so really looking forward to the delivery!
As a Brit living in Germany though the currency conversion is a bit hard to swallow. €6020 compared to £4750 (~€5370)...
Does anyone know if Omega would accept changing my boutique to a UK one, so I could time the collection with a trip home?
How long after the close of ordering did you get on the waiting list ?
If it wasn't long I would wait out for a bit as you would be annoyed if you bought the ck2998 and got a call a day later. 😡😉
CK 2998 will be around for when you know if you can get a ST2 or not.

It actually makes the tie-in with the watch a small conflict with me, as the show was pretty horrible. When I read the initial post about the #ST2 being an ultraman theme I was disappointed, but when I saw the actual Racing theme/ color scheme I liked it despite the tie-in.

So. What do we think? Which will hold/gain value years from now more? ST1 or ST2?
