Super quick turnaround with David….

For anyone considering going grey… do it. If the boutique is not an option pull the trigger. Worth it!

Truly beautiful. That last wrist shot highlights the blue tone in a way I haven’t seen before. Big congrats, one of the few pieces at multiples of retail price that is well worth the money!

Quick update - paid in full Oct 6 2020. Told earlier this year to expect June timing. Sent a quick check in email to see if we were still on track and got a snippy “we will tell you when it arrives” response back.

Pretty disappointed so far - zero communication unless I reach out and even then they’re pretty rude… but have had my money over a year and 8 months at this point. I really wonder if this will help or hurt their brand in the long run. Rolex might play games but the ADs I’ve worked with have done a good job of setting expectations there

If have strong relationship with your Omega boutique (not AD): less than 12 months.

Otherwise: years in waiting..

Well, I don't know- I think I have a strong relationship with my OB- have purchased 5 watches from them and had 3 serviced there all over the past 4 years and I am now at 18 months with deposit taken & still waiting. Was told "should be by the end of the year(???)." This is now officially the longest I have waited for any watch- including a ceramic Daytona (less than 6 mo from my Rolex AD).

How's relationship with boutique manager? I received mine within 9 months.

On the other hand I have no idea in regards to wait time with Omega ADs. I have only dealt with Omega Boutiques.

I was not successful at getting on a list with the boutique. I believe I have a good spend history with Omega boutiques as a whole - approximately $60k. I just waited too long and chalked it up to a lost cause.

My understanding is the wait at my area NYC boutiques is something outrageous like 15+ years.

I’ve heard and read mixed things on whether ADs actually get these… can anyone confirm that ADs get these?

On the plus I did order the bracelet from my AD yesterday - it was $680.

Yes, ADs are receiving them as well, but very limited number.
The vast majority is going to the OBs.

Congrats for your Snoopy!
I will get mine in a couple of weeks… finally :)

There have been a few posts on Omegaforums being delivered to the US but not many. I’d say something close to 95% of US deliveries are to OB’s. I know the Houston OB is no longer delivering since they’ve delivered all of their allocations.

Is it normal for omega boutique to still be holding my $5k deposit (back from Oct 2020) and be unable to give me any sort of guidance how long it'll be? A bit tricky because the original omega boutique I placed order with closed and now I got moved to the list for another nearby Omega boutique...

I guess it depends on the definition of normal… but yes based on what I’ve heard.

Are they able to give any indication how many orders are ahead of you?

Nope no indication...my brother had an order with LA based Omega boutique and they refunded his deposit and kept his spot on the list. Was hoping for the same, kinda sucks to lose the deposit and not know when/if ever I'd get one

I have been buying a few stainless steel Omega for the last 2 years and managed to receive my silver snoopy in 10 months.
