My own two cents...
I am most excited to see what BW2017 brings, as I have been waiting to find a second watch to add to my "collection", if you can call having one watch (Seamaster 300 MC in steel) a collection.
However, I do feel that the #speedytuesday watch release had one major flaw... the ability to reserve one of the 2012 watches with no monetary down payment/financial obligation. This setting is ripe for online speculators to reserve many many watches under multiple "different" names at no cost, and thus, once the 2012 number of reservations was achieved, excluding individual earnest people across the globe, arising at different local times, the chance to get on the list, who would have been willing to "put their money where their mouth is", i.e. by forking over a minimum not-insignificant deposit per each watch order.
Am I the only one who feels this way? Does anyone in marketing at Omega headquarters sympathize with my view? And I feel this way despite the fact that I myself, when I clicked on the link to reserve one (out of curiosity), was already too late (7 am Pacific Standard time USA) on the day of release, and I had no idea that the reservation was devoid of monetary deposit. Interestingly, I would NOT have reserved one because I have other watches that I dream of, bringing my statement full circle back to BW2017....
Please share your thoughts, one and all.
Best, Marc
Visit to Bienne / Omega ...
Team, Been there after SIHH, wonderful team, factories, visited the METAS lab, I'm speechless. Sad point for you all is that I'm on a non disclosure agreement. The only thing that I can say is: prepare your health, take all of your medicines, do a checkup...
Not sad at all Nilo. Patience is a virtue.
Anyone who gets sad about something like this has too much time on their hands.
I'm sad ...
Not the team here, I know. My sadness is a result if been incapable to share. Cheers, Nilo
Well, think of the joy when you can share!
I was already thinking 2017 would see me add an Omega to my collection, with your hints I am fairly certain about it.
Thanks Nilo! Not surprised.....under Raynald's leadership I am sure we will...
....see many significantly game-changing things come up. The recent "stunt" on the #SpeedyTuesday limited edition watch was surely just testing the waters in terms of playing with heritage combined with contemporary sales (online).....Surely Omega got an ...
I agree entirely...
To be with Raynald is a real pleasure. Besides of he been a true gentleman, I can feel his true excitement for the brand and for his team. The #speedtuesday is just him "probing the waters" for the things to come. Cheers, Nilo
Not a good idea ...
It will be like reading a book and skipping a chapter. Cheers, Nilo
Talk about tempting!
Sounds like a great time ahead -- looking forward to seeing the new watches!

I had this discussion with Raynald..
And I agree with his position that, because of the roundness of this planet, that was impossible to make every one happy. If the release of the ordering time was based on any time zone, the other side of the planet could complain. About the no money for t...
Thanks for your thoughts...
I guess if the internet is going to be used for orders, they need to figure out how to deal with the limited edition pieces. Otherwise, it seems fair, at least to everyone except authorized dealers (i.e. not Omega Boutiques). The bourgeoning practice of h...
