Oh dear, we are in sync so we need some Resonance complication lol…

All in all, now it’s about money talks, not passion, very sad to see this.
Glad to know like yourself, I also have good Rolex and Omega luck so far.
Lange is really challenging now unless I’m spending another $300-$500k again on non-limited pieces, just to have them lift an eyelid on me again 🥲
PP wise, I consider myself super lucky to have a great sales angel who is also passionate about watches and trying his best.
Anyways, it is what it is and I’m happy with my current status.
Cheers and let’s hope for the best.

Omega I meant. They have this CK859 and is taking deposits, delivery in about a month. Congrats to some forum members here who got it, you got a nice watch and I love it. This one has a number 11xx so that means Omega is starting to crank them out. This B...

Here is what I tried…oh my lord…this is the dream watch that I always wanted. I even went to SCL…and tried on a WG piece and the famous Datograph PC I always hesitate which dream PCC to get and now the picture is clear for me. PP is the one, so time to sa...

If I can predict what the trend is, I probably am too busy making $$$ and won’t be here on social media. This 7234R at 37.5mm is a great size but the marketing label it as ladies watch kills it, which PP corrected it for their 7234G version. I hope they u...

I'm a big fan of this size in RG. For me I find RG flashy, but in this smaller format ,and the style of the historique, it has a cool vintage feel. I haven't sprung for it as I still don't see myself putting on a rg watch. Yet - Kevin Btw- that bronze gol...
This watch comes with a red and brown strap so can be shared with my “boss”
By: Clueless_Collector : April 8th, 2022-01:37
I think it is a cool watch tbh…who knows it might be my first entrance fee to pay VC for future references. The Chronoscope scales aren’t that busy if you know where to look. If not using the function, you’re not looking anyways so overall package still l...
I knew it was only a matter of time for you, Raymond!
By: Mach : April 8th, 2022-01:42
Knowing your collection and taste, I had anticipated that you would acquire the CK 859! I received the call Tuesday from the OB that my piece has arrived. Unfortunately, I’m on assignment in Kansas City and won’t fly back to “Bahston” until tomorrow night...
“Bahston”…lololol 👍🏻
By: Clueless_Collector : April 8th, 2022-01:52
Congrats Mach on your CK859 too. This watch at it’s retail is a no brainer to me considering all the quantities it comes with. At least Omega is willing to accept a deposit and work with any walk in customer. This is going to be a huge community watch. I ...
You knew . . .

Home is where the heart is, Raymond
By: AlexSunrise : April 8th, 2022-02:29
And with you, it’s been Omega all along. Sorry to hear about the underwhelming experiences at other brand boutiques, but I guess some of that also has to do from fatigue from the sales staff not being able to serve and fulfill their clients and prospects ...
Thank you Alex…
By: Clueless_Collector : April 8th, 2022-03:33
I was prepared for this and just want to experience it myself. It is true I cannot imagine how many customers who just wants the hype and hot stuff and were shocked or furious at the rejection, sorry for the poor salespeople 😂 I will let him know your kin...
Superb post
By: Weems@8 : April 8th, 2022-04:49
I read quick, but i will resume reading your post better later this day. Pistache Breitling, friendly Omega, i want more.
I am focussed on the Omega
By: Weems@8 : April 8th, 2022-17:19
It is the favorite of the watches you post. I go to reply on dr No his reply, cause the Omega is food for talk.
I did not even properly look at the warranty card! 😆
By: KCLQMULKU : April 8th, 2022-18:39
No did not know, though I assumed there would be an eventual limit given it is a speciality piece. Would be interested to know why 2939. 39 I guess because it is based on the original 1939 model, but 29? Many congrats by the way!!! I haven't stopped weari...
Check your warranty card…
By: Clueless_Collector : April 8th, 2022-18:40
It says it on there but the case back scribed Numbered Edition…very intriguing.
I just looked but I must be going blind.
By: KCLQMULKU : April 8th, 2022-18:45
the front has the ref, watch no, jeweller, and date (and a number below the date). The back just has writing and a QR code.
I know why, and thank you for this.
By: KCLQMULKU : April 8th, 2022-19:01
I just now realised I was only given the warranty and chronometer cards. I have just sent an email to the boutique to investigate. Strange they had missed this particularly as it was the only watch they had at the store. Of course I should have been more ...

Super interesting post
By: agyzace : April 8th, 2022-06:05
Irrespective of (Omega’s professional) stance and behavior, I find the CK859 a true marvel in its own right. Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for this superb report.
By: jlux : April 8th, 2022-11:42
Same as you I feel more and more "disturbed" by the selling practices of some brands and thus appreciate more the customer friendliness of brands like Omega. The CK859 is a very interesting piece and I am eager to discover it at my AD.
I didn’t know
By: Weems@8 : April 8th, 2022-17:22
Omega launched a beauty. Thanks to Raymond his road trip. The egg white dial is just fantastic. I go check the Omega website what they post.
I’m ok with 2939…
By: Clueless_Collector : April 8th, 2022-19:07
But I thought they are done with limited editions after the Apollo 11 50th and didn’t do it for the Snoopy 3. It’s interesting the case back says Numbered Edition
LE
By: Weems@8 : April 8th, 2022-19:51
It might be a LE. First i will dive more into their history. CK 859. 70h pr, 316L steel, 15000 g anti mag, hw. There are a few things that not match wat i want, but still an interesting watch. The dial is good, but the hands could be more nicer, i am not ...

Congratulations, Raymond!👏👏👏

My flight to “Bahston” just got canceled! Fortunately, I’m rescheduled on a flight to “New Yawk” to take a detour and take delivery of mine tomorrow!🤞
My prayers were answered…
By: Clueless_Collector : April 8th, 2022-22:23
I was tempted to buy on the spot if they are available 😅 Congrats in advance…it’s limited, and numbered edition 👍🏻
great post and photos"the snobbishness" made me laugh 😁
By: christianch : April 11th, 2022-23:27
Because it really reflects my experience with the boutiques. Since many brands are phasing out ADs (Lange, AP, Vacheron) things got really weird. The AP "House" looks like a museum. I asked if they had any watches available and they said "but it is by app...

your collection is amazing 👏
By: christianch : April 12th, 2022-08:05
Lange is the biggest turnaround as many pieces used to be in stock and not moving. I am surprised that, even clients like you with an extensive collection, need to buy more to qualify for something ! I have two Lange (Lange 1 and 1815) and don't need anyt...
