Love these 2 and just called my boutique and got on the waiting list. They do look fantastic and love to own these special pieces :-)

So are they coming to the US? Or is your boutique in Japan?

Buddy Ron!

I would need to pick up in person fortunately. I can make a trip out of it if I get lucky!

Hope all is well.

Thanks Fred, hope all is well with you.

That's not a bad deal, get two watches while taking a vacation. Was actually contemplating the same thing...

Hope you get yours soon

Good looking pieces. Fortunately, the ones I like the most (blue and panda) are dials that I bought when Ofrei carried them, along with bezels and hands, and are stored in NOS sealed condition waiting for the right time to be installed.

Anybody know the email addresses to the omega boutiques in Japan? I'm going to be in Japan in October and I'm trying to get my hands on one of these.

I heard all 55 sets spoken for. And some already being sold by resellers. I have one offer for USD43K. Not sure if premium worth it. I hate buying above SRP.

The panda is a buy. The blue, is a buy. Somehow, the red bezel one is slowly growing on me even more now. Can't wait to see and handle these beauts in person.

So this one is basically a Mitsukoshi dial with red lettering...not that that’s a bad thing.

I tried with my both ADs in USA and Qatar and both said it is not possible to get as it is only for Japanese market. Would have loved to buy the blue or the panda.

Yes, it’s quite similar. But this one will do for me since the mitsu is so expensive now

A friend, who travels to Japan frequently, helped another friend with purchasing the blue Tokyo 2020 LE. In person, it is really gorgeous. The step seems to be ever so slightly angled against the dial, reflecting light differently.



I can't seem to post the gif on the board, so here's a link instead:

My boutique said they could get me the blue.

But I’d have to wire the money to Japan and pay all import duty.

If I could get the white, I’d likely do it. So far, I’ve only been able to confirm the blue. I like it a lot, but not enough.

The manager in Ginza (largest boutique in Japan) tells me the black white panda is all sold out. I personally prefer the blue seeing them in the metal and owning them. Great to see your boutique stepping up.

Man, that looks amazing. Best looking variant in my eyes, followed closely by the panda.

Fresh from Tokyo. Still needs to be destickered and sized.





A big thanks to John for the assistance on this one! It’s another example of why this Forum is such a great community.
