I am just responding to the guy that cannot understand why some people would want the white over the rising sun. This doesn’t mean I don’t understand why others would want the rising sun over the white. I kept using the word “some” people. The other guy didn’t even leave room for this.
It’s one of the fun things about the speedy, there are so many versions out there.
I mentioned why would people would bother with a deposit when something arguably better is readily available
I think you misunderstood me, I mentioned why would people would bother with a deposit when something arguably better is readily available, not their general desire to acquire it.
many here have heard “you are on the list” and never receive any update. OB is obligated to update those with a deposit. Non-deposit waitlist receives little or no contact. Omega is the only (major) brand wiling to take a deposit. I welcome this practice.
Like this delay in the white Speedy has me looking seriously at the titanium Blancpain Fifty Fathoms.
Picked mine up today from the boutique. While the waiting list is deep, I believe most will get theirs sooner than expected with deposits. My feeling is this can not be the only Speedy in your collection but rather, a differentiated new model that will complement other Speedy variations very well. Omega hit the ball out of the park on this one
