Yes...naysayers aside, online ordering has turned out be less of a gimmick and indeed a fairer way for us mere mortals to purchase.

I mean, look at the dastardly practice of certain establishments selling popular models in packages. Should be looked at from the angles of anti-profiteering and restrictive trade practices  >:( 

Preferential treatment for VVIPs is a sore point for many of us and should be reviewed by parent companies.
Couldn’t agree more with you.

We place our orders online for a fair price and get what we pay for without drama and requests from unscrupulous ADs/Boutiques to buy other pieces first or add a premium on the MSRP.

Similarly, the massive price increase in the last 10 years from most of the Swiss brands (and a particular British one) to appear more high-end is insane. Except a handful of brands, they can all be had at 20%-30% off. What does it say about the real value of their products?

Easiest thing to do is boycott the establishments and hope for sanity to prevail some day. But do we live in a sane world though...  :-\

Hi Guys,

Managed to score one of these yesterday. ETA - August 2018 I'm told.

Looks alone, this is an awesome piece with the orange motifs and DON (dot over ninety). NATO is somewhat ho hum but the leather strap has promise.

Movement is the standard 1861 so hardly any surprises there. As for me, being a 1st time Speedy Tuesday owner is an exciting prospect.

One little bummer about the whole limited edition thing is the fact Omega keeps dishing them out. Exclusivity is somewhat diminished but hey...that's the supposed narrative of the brand  :thumbsup:

Your thoughts?
Got mine too. Can’t wait to get it from the boutique mid next month. This will be my 3rd Speedy but first limited edition.

If only adequate notice were given for everyone to have a fair chance.

But I suppose reality always rears its ugly head in that fairness constantly plays second fiddle in the desire for commercial success  :(

I don't understand the popularity of the watch.

Granted it is a change from the normal speedy pro but Omega has been doing this yearly launching one edition after another. It's getting stale. Remember panerai and what happened after...l am just glad I picked up the Tintin when I saw it.

I guess some just wanna get one thinking they will make some money if they resell.

Let’s see how much they’ll go for in the pre-owned market. Guessing it will be sizeable premium.

sadly, didn't manage to get a unit. I think now the resale market in Singapore is going at SGD15k. I am not sure if they are buyers for this price or not. Let's see.

Yeah prices will correct for sure but to what level... :-\

If the hype and look of the watch are anything to go by, I expect it will probably settle to a point higher than ST1.

It's mid-August and saw the IG update from Omega regarding the progress... hopefully it can reach our shores very soon.
