Omega

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 etc.  

Omega novelties will make your blood pressure go high, your heartbeat will go up. 

Serious, dream stuff to all Omega addicts. Dreams will come true and much more.

Be prepared. I was not and after 24 hours, I'm not sleeping well. 

Warm thanks to Raynald, Felix, and all others for a wonderful two days visit, reception, food (and what food!!!), wine etc.. 

Stay tunes. As soon the embargo ends, I will show all. 

I love this Omega moderator role. 

Cheers,

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

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 the ordering, it was because each person needs to pay using local currency (and taxes). 

In any case, even Raynald was surprised with the speed that the watches were ordered. Omega was expecting 24-48 hours to drain the #speedytuesday inventory and this happened is 3-4 hours!!!

I consider, bar the issues that you pointed, that it was a great move:

1) Ordering through Internet. 

2) Delivery at the nearest Boutique (increases each Boutique traffic). 

3) Pay using local currency and on the country terms (In Brazil with up to 10 instalments!!)

I believe that if a grey dealer ordered more than one, the local Boutique can deny the sale, but this is my view.

If this multiple deny policy is in place, one on the waiting list should be called. Again, this is me. I didn't ask tk Raynald if thus policy will be in place. 

Cheers,
