Did anyone in U.S. get a good deal such as waive sales taxes or getting goodies from Omega boutique when you purchased the Ultraman?

ha. I was offered champagne (probably sparkling wine). The people there are nice enough, but the boutique does very well and doesn't really see the need to hand out freebies.

Get a gift or something everytime I ask usually. 😉


I live remote Australia and always ask them to throw a few goodies in and a couple of Spring bar sets. ( hat a few times , magazines, pens )


Odds on saving any coin on this type of watch are slim and none. As mentioned in this or the ST1 thread

Got a JLC hat & watch catalog in the Hawaii boutique and didn't buy a watch. 👍

Living with Ultraman aka the Blob
How are you finding living with the Blob I find him quite elusive which is good in many ways as I was concerned he might be a bit pushy and hard to live with. In fact know one would know he was there he is so discreet he doesn’t even come out at night, was I the only one to think he might appear come the witching hour.
He did surprise me the other day though there he was looking up at me while drying my hands in a public loo. Good to see he is there fighting gems or what ever those blue lights are there for maybe just for fans of Ultraman and the Blob! That’s Germs

My OB gave me a candle and pen lol. Honestly, I expected more such as sailing bracelet or travel case lol

Finally getting to try on my speedytuesday. Going to put it on the leather strap tomorrow as I am not a fan of NATO straps. It's more comfortable than I remember from trying one on I but still prefer leather straps to everything else. Love this watch pictures don t do it justice.
Merry Christmas/holidays.

I’m in Canada - received the shipping box, and Hang Tag (huge bonus, just ask @Archer and his pet Granny Smith...)

Longtime lurker and first time poster here but I was lucky enough to pick up this beauty from my OB back in early September. To top it off, I was able to get my date of birth as my limited edition number.

I guess it would help if I actually included the picture. 😗

Put the leather strap on it today. Much better in my opinion.
It also looks good on Omega alligator black leather with Omega déployant.

Watch collected a few days ago. Well worth the wait! Pics will follow but I am waiting on a custom racing strap from Two-Stitch straps to go with a deployant.

Received a bottle of Omega x Bollinger champagne from the AD upon pickup which was a nice touch.

Have all the Ultraman Ltd Edition watches now been manufactured and delivered by Omega to those that preordered them or to those lucky few that got one as a result of a preorder being cancelled?

Anyone put some good mileage on their Ultraman yet? Dents, dings, bruises, etc.

Surprisingly not. My ST1 has more scratches on it's hesalite than my other Speedmasters, though.

Got the call yesterday that I had one waiting for me at the Oxford Street OB, hadn't expected to get one from the waiting list to be honest.

Sadly, after a bit of mental accounting I couldn't really justify the purchase right now so have reluctantly passed. I let the OB know so should go on to the next person in the waiting list.

Hadn't had a chance to post my #SpeedyTuesday Ultraman. So here's some shots I took. Enjoy!
