Just got on the "list" for an Ed White...

[Ketler]

It should be here in about 3 years...

[JPizzzle]

Lol. Is that really what they said? Where is the OB?

I kid you not...NYC

[Trogster]

Did they insist on a deposit?

[brandrea]

Good luck, it’s worth the money, if not the wait

[AEC]

I like your sense of humor about it. I'll bet it's on your wrist in a year

I've been waiting about a year at the Houston boutique...:(

[Locust]

Been waiting 15 months. Fully expect 2024

[1William]

Good luck.

[SSGMT]

It is worth the wait, hope it comes sooner than expected.

In my state there is only one Omega AD and they have told me they have never gotten and Ed White (I purchased the 3861 sapphire sandwich from them).

Every time I visit a OB in NYC, LV or Chicago, the SAs tell me I need at least $50K in spend history to get on any kind of list (the EW is the only other Omega I want).

Is the grey market my only option? It seems crazy this is so hard to get.

You won’t find one at an AD. My understanding from everyone I’ve talked to and the reading I’ve done, is that it’s Omega Boutique only.

I believe one member here said he bought one at an AD It’s the only one I’ve ever heard of.

Everyone’s story is unique … here’s mine:

Here, we have one boutique in our whole country. When I started to get serious about the 321, I went to a prominent AD in Toronto and was told that they’d put me on their “list” if I paid a 50% deposit. I had no issue with this other than they could not give me a specific delivery time frame. They said it might be years. This gave me pause.

After doing more research here and talking to a few helpful members, I registered my interest with the boutique. 7 months later, I had my Ed White.

Nice...two questions:

1. Did you have to have a spend history at the OB?
2. Did you get your deposit back from the AD?

I’m sorry I didn’t clarify:

2. I didn’t go through with the AD deposit. I hit pause, and did a little more research. Something didn’t sit well with me having to pay a 50% deposit with no timeframe. I truly wonder how many people paid the deposit and still haven’t received a watch.

1. No spend history whatsoever, in fact the EW321 is my very first Omega. The boutique was unequivocal, the EW321 is a boutique only piece.

Not worth the wait or money. After market prices are dropping and pretty soon you’ll be able to pick one up close to MSRP, that’s when you jump on it.

Good luck.

Looking at your posts you don’t have much to contribute but snarky negativity.

Oh really? I cannot wait. Please let me know when it happens. I will be waiting.

How is it possible for you to get a 321 with no spend history? In my country, i need to spend $50k to even get on the waitlist which will never be fulfilled.

My friend is a high spender in Sydney and only uses ADs, and his AD was able to get him a 321 which he got for me.

Was initially told the wait was 10 years, but somehow for him, he got bumped to first spot and got it within 1 month lol

I will treasure my 321 forever and never sell it.

[brandrea]

I guess it varies from customer to customer.

I think I just really connected with the right sales associate.

I agree its a fantastic reference

I’m on a few lists for that reference too, I did get lucky on silver Snoopy from local AD. But I was on the list for it since it’s initial launch 2020.

Nice one.

I got mine in April 2021 within a week of asking for it, with no spend history or previous contact with the boutique after emailing them about it (this was during lockdown when stores were closed)

An absolute cracker - the only Speedy you will ever need.

[njlam]

There is no Omega Boutique in my state and my AD says there is no way he will ever have and Ed White to sell.

I am in NYC next week, where should I go to get on a list for this watch?

The Yorkdale shop is an AD not a boutique.

I bought it from the Vancouver boutique (the only one in Canada).

The movement truly is something special

I got mine after waiting about 6-7 months. I do have a spend history but not anything crazy. Apparently my OB only got 1 this year which I got. Last year they got 2. I was floored when I got the call and just sat there staring at it on the OB couch lol.

Honestly, you're most likely wasting your time at this point.

If you really want to try then you'd have to go to the 5th Avenue boutique. You could also try the Watches of Switzerland location at Hudson Yards. I'm not sure if there are any other AD's in NYC.
