Omega Basel Releases

OK, so I cant share exactly what I have seen. I promised I would not.

However, what is seen on the Omega website is not all that there was to the show.

And some of what I have seen is really nice.

One in particular, if the case is not as thick as they normally make them, I will be scooping up the moment it arrives.

Truly, some pretty cool stuff. New iterations of the same thing in some cases, but also pretty cool.

LMAO. Sorry guys. I know how you feel I do. But I have got some friends on here that would want to know about this. See sensui above.

For what it is worth, it was actually sent to me. So I have it. And the email from my contact said, that Omega asked their staff to only send it to people they trust. And it says all over it, "for internal use only".

furthermore, if I were reading this, I would have the same reaction as you. BUT, I would also want to know if more interesting things were coming out.

You realize you just did more of the same, right?

I know exactly what I did.

Not sure why you need to be rude about it.

Again, I would want to know if something else was coming out. So would some of my buddies. I realize you are new, but lets be polite about it.

Great! You’re “the source” and you’re bragging about stuff you won’t share. Bravo.

Pics from Omega Forums, so at least the folks coming to this thread have something to look at.

^^^ ha. that is your definition of bragging? Because they trust me? that is bragging. Boy, that assessment of yours makes you appear very sensitive and jumpy.

I will never understand people like you. I would want to know that something else was going to be presented. This is why I shared. Sorry I could not share the actual details just yet.

If you do not care to know, ok...but not everyone is like you. Some people will find this interesting and will appreciate the information.

But you do you brother. It appears to be working very well for you.

I’m not your brother, nor am I sensitive or jumpy.

I’m sure everyone would find the information of value, if there were actually something of substance here.

I’m messing with you, but it is a pretty worthless thread.

I’m so tempted. I’m going to call and ask if I can. But I think I know the answer.

Hey Seth, thanks for posting what you are able.

Do you happen to know when further reveals may take place? Did Omega show watches they plan on rolling out throughout the year or is it just delayed Basel releases?

I respect your intention but I don't understand what's happening. Basel fair is not where brands announce new watches? They're keeping secrets now? Oh I get it.. They will release a new limited edition watch and it deserves the suspense.

I’m not sure if it’s thinner. But at 39.5 it’s a good size. I hope it’s thinner!!!

I’m told they might actually be out.

I hoping for permission to post the document I got. I’ll find out tomorrow.

Correct. New colors for the moon phase too. Not sure if those are posted yet.
