·I posted on this on the previous page.
..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.

·Anyone else getting remorse from getting on the reservation list due to the price difference in US vs other countries? I'm starting to think if I can't negotiate a discount to make it on par with others I will just pass on it.

·If I only posted unique and highly intellectual content, my post count would be dangerously close to a big fat zero...
Hahaha! I don't know if anything in my post was highly intellectual. 😀

·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.
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!" 😉
This photo is not mine but spotted on instagram. Reports coming through as Ultraman now being delivered : citizenbogdan My custom made Italian strap for the Ultraman was delivered today. I guess this has something to do with the fact that today is Tuesday, Speedy Tuesday. 😀 I am not a juge fan of Nato straps on Speedmasters and I like my straps to have a vintage feel tapering from 20 to 16 mm at the buckle. I am really happy with the end result in this case. I still need a 16mm vintage Omega buckle. Great combo, isnʼt it?
What you users think??...Fake news??...
A fellow IG, he placed the watch directly on top of the ipad and took a shot, only adding the orange and black straps.

He doesn’t say he has the watch, just the strap. He's asking people’s opinion on the strap only.

Looks like your passing on it then.......
Chance of getting a discount on a LE has a few pages a while back in this thread, and the consensus is. No chance.

·I was wondering the same actually. Also, isn't the strap very similar if not the same as the leather strap in the ultraman bundle? Probably, only the tapering is quite different.
" so its just to show what it would look like. its not real.

·Yeah, I would assume so.
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.
Who’s to say the ST2 won’t be a smash hit? I happen to think it will. Prices for pre-owned ST1s are also going up quickly again - I’m looking to trade my Tudor Bucherer Black Bay Bronze and Heuer Autavia 02 for one in the UK and am still some way short of what they’re asking! 🙁

·It might be a smash hit. It's an interesting combination of vintage throw-backs (DON, stepped dial, vintage lume, orange chrono hand) and modern links to the Ultraman comic (blob, box, 'Beta capsule' UV light and strap tool). The overall effect is looks nice to me and that happens to be my primary reason for buying any watch. I'm not convinced it will be hugely popular in the future but am curious to see how it ends up... you could very well be right and in that case those who missed out are SOL...
Agree with that, it’s the cocktail of different aspects of Omega watch design that make it just that little bit different, but we’ll see.

·I have a suspicion that this may be a secondary-market hit, in part because of the way in which it was sold (i.e. via an Instagram post, in English) and how quickly it was gone. There is a great deal of nostalgia and love for Ultraman in Japan (going along with the tremendous watch culture) - an English-language Instagram post is not going to maximize sales in Japan or China (in part because Instagram is officially blocked in China).
There are likely some customers in what would be primary markets for this watch that didn't get one for these reasons.
