I phoned them and Gábor said that they have no exact price yet and maybe they'll have only when the first watch arrives.. However based on the CHF price He estimated around 1,8-1,9M (stressed it's only a guess). Anyway if you have any further info pls let me know!😀
This is my assumption. However, I’m curious if anyone who bought the ST1 at an OB successfully attempted negotiating a lower price than retail.
The ST1 also had a long waitlist before anyone picked theirs up, so anyone seeking a discount would have been politely shown the door and the watch would have gone to the next person on the waitlist who was willing to pay full price
About £4500, a chunky saving over the UK which is already at the cheaper end.

How much is the UK price?
When did my reservation didn’t picked a location and bow been contacted as well to select a location, tempted to pick UK but with the likely uncertainty of the delivery date (02XX) hard to predict if could travel there for pickup and thus save on price plus VAT.
I wonder if the only way to be re-imbursed on VAT is by filling paperwork on the airport when leaving or is there any company that does exports that could handle this for a fee?

Getting VAT refunded is a pretty straightforward process.
You fill in a form at the OB with your address and passport number and when you exit the UK you produce the form and the watch at the customs office who will stamp the form if everything checks. Once the form is stamped you can reclaim the VAT at any money exchange at the airport. The only downside is the Omega boutiques use a processing company that charges over £100 fee for a £4000 sale.

Will he not have to pay a corresponding import tax though?
If you had to pick a boutique in London to have it delivered which would you choose or are they all the same? Which location has the widest selection of watches and best customer service?
