I think he’s looking at my bank account taking a pretty big hit.

·There is a new instagram story by Omega regarding the Ultraman. Maybe they will start releasing it tomorrow, thus with all the publicity.

·Just a thought, and maybe a dumb one, but is the list in fact a chronological one?
Or could it perhaps be totally randomized?
I wasn't around for the first Speedy Tuesday release, nor have I read this whole thread...
I would assume it would be chronological, seems logical, and most fair...but I could it also see it being a luck of the draw type thing...

It's been confirmed by RJB it will be "numerical." There was some discussion over the difference in terms but they will be released in order of limited edition number.

Sorry, I meant in regards to the "wait-list".

··This Space for RentReleased in numerical order is a nice change from last year. But as far as taking delivery, I imagine the export/ import processes, and the efficiency of package movement once within the target countries, will still result in a wide variation of actual delivery dates.
I'm in the 1k+ range, so I'll probably will be waiting a bit anyway. Late September or October is fine, as I am still recovering from all of the purchases in late '17. 😟

·OB sells it for 1171/633 bracelet is $420+tax
Dang, is that all? I could have swore my OB told me it was $700. I might have to consider it now. Hmmmm...

Example: I live in Ontario Canada. I reserved ST2, and like everyone else I have yet to put down a single cent for the watch. If by chance, it arrives at the nearest AD to me and I reject it upon seeing it in person, what will Omega do? What if the next person on the waiting list lives in Perth Australia (approximate city that is the opposite side of the planet from me), will Omega ship my reservation to Perth? What if 20 minutes after they shipped mine to Australia, someone walks into an OB in Perth and turns down their reservation? And let's say the next person on the waiting list just happened to be in Toronto Canada? Also, after they ship a watch around the world, they still have no guarantee the next person will accept it. They could end up shipping the watch around the world several times...
I realize single watches are shipped around the world all the time, but I also know that international shipping is fraught with complications (customs entry, duties, taxes, tracking, timing, loss or damage, etc).
Often in life, the path chosen is based on what is easiest and comes with the least resistance. In the case of Omega, only they know who's on the wait-list and in what order. If I were Omega, I would first go through any wait-list members within the geographic area of any OB/AD where a watch is rejected, then only after the wait-list is exhausted would I have it shipped elsewhere to begin the process again. Now, if I were Omega, I probably wouldn't publicly state this and likely would say "yep, chronological!" 😉

·I don't know, but I would highly suspect it won't be exactly chronological by who signed up for wait-list at what time. Logistically I just think that would be very difficult for Omega.

I posted on this on the previous page. I was on the wait list for ST1 and got one from my OB her in Atlanta, GA USA. What was explained to me is if the reservation is canceled prior to shipment it goes to who is next on the waitlist by chronological order. If the watch is shipped and then rejected at the OB or the person with the reservation is unresponsive then the watch goes to the next person on the waitlist nearby. I'm not sure what constitutes nearby but I live in Atlanta and I happened to be next on the waitlist in this area so it was a no-brainer.

·Yeah all of that makes sense.
So even if you weren't necessarily early on the wait-list...there is still a slim chance that you could get "bumped up" if you happen to be close geographically to someone who bailed.

On some level, the law of large numbers would mean geographic regions with high #'s of reservations will also be those with high #'s on the waiting list. If you live in New York, there are probably more people with reservations but also more people on the waiting list. It probably comes somewhat close to balancing out in the end.
In the end, unless the ST2 is a runaway smash hit success like the White Snoopy was, any die-hard fans who absolutely 'must-have' this one can probably pick one up on the second hand market 6 months after all deliveries have been made. If ST1 is any indication, price will be fairly close to MSRP and the premium acceptable to someone willing to hand over $7100 for a modern chrono in the first place.
