My wife was the one who suggested I consider adding this one, so she gets some of the enabling credit |

I've been trying to acquire one since the initial announcement in January 2020. Since there are no OBs in Boston, I immediately contacted two local ADs. Unfortunately, I've learned the hard way that the only way to acquire one was to establish a relationship with an OB! After multiple lobbying attempts, I was finally informed earlier this year that I've been allocated a piece, which has an expected delivery around July or August. I look forward to joining you in the near future! Please continue to add your photos / impressions! Enjoy this beauty! |

I think there was some confusion at release amoung Omega AD’s. I was also told by one of our AD’s in Toronto that they could “add me to their list” if I paid 50% up front … this made me uneasy with no expected delivery date, so I politely declined. The more I read here and online, it seemed that the only way to buy was indeed through Omega Boutiques of which we only have one, clear across the country and two time zones I decided to fill out their online questionnaire, back in November 2021 and to my surprise, I received a call within a few days. I had a really great chat with the SA, probably about 20 minutes I’d say. We talked watches in general and he was curious about my collection. I was honest and told him that I was new to the Omega brand, but that I wanted to own and collect iconic references. The new 321 was at the pinnacle of historic chronographs and I wanted to add it as a heirloom piece to my small collection. I guess that must’ve resonated with him. I truly hope your allocation comes as expected Mark. I believe you will be as blown away as the rest of us with this reference Best of luck going forward |

Very pleased for you. Omega want these watches to go to collectors so I am not surprised it has come quicker than you thought. Wear in good health.

Thank you very much
This is true I spoke to my SA yesterday (just following up on the purchase) and he told me that allocation is still very tight and expected to be so for the foreseeable future. He added pretty much verbatim, that they want to see these go to the enthusiasts and avoid selling to “flippers”. |

Thanks. I would love to get it by August 2023 for a milestone birthday but realistically it'll be like 3+ years. It's like the mythical Rolex waitlist at an AD but at least I have history at my OB and they know my name.
