My AD has informed me that only one 321 has been delivered in my market, and that was to an OB VIP.

If Omega intends to focus on their OB orders at the expense of their AD's, then I suspect it may be many years before mine is delivered.

I also have to consider my AD's liquidity. Given how economies can decay quickly, I would likely lose my deposit should they file Chapter 11.

I've been reserving a spot in the collection for a chronograph for a while now. And while the Ed White would have fit in nicely, there are many other models that would do just as well.

I think I've just tossed in the towel!
Since it’s not with an OB, I would probably pull out. If your deposit was with an OB, you should find out your place in line and then determine if it was worth staying (dependent on your financial situation and interest in the watch).
