Congrats on the bag!! Very nice, I bet it holds a lot of stuff...

Is it a DSOTM? I love that piece the more I see it.

77T · 30 July 2014, 07:54 AM

I sense a Cardinal unveiling

vman · 30 July 2014, 08:49 AM

And all you got was a bag?

Kringkily · 30 July 2014, 09:10 AM

Think I know what it is.....they give those bags when you also get something back ;)

Shem · 30 July 2014, 10:19 AM

I got one of those bags today when I bought a strap for my Aventurine Speedmaster and they had to put my bracelet in something. :) I also happened to be carrying a couple Swatch Sistem51s and they didn't want me to have to lug them around without a suitable bag. Always thinking of the customer, those Boutique employees.

I've had fantastic experiences in each omega boutique I've been in.

c0deman99 · 30 July 2014, 11:41 AM

Please reveal!!

rodrob59 · 30 July 2014, 12:21 PM

You got me the Bullhead I've been eyeing. Thanks Fr John!

Come on now, show us what you've gotten.

Urosfan · 30 July 2014, 12:35 PM

Oh the suspense congrats

Alfredo. · 30 July 2014, 02:22 PM

Congrats in advance! Too much suspense...

repoman · 30 July 2014, 03:21 PM

Well, I know its not the 45th anniversary Speedmaster Apollo XI... that box is so big it takes the jumbo Omega bag to fit in. I'll take a guess and say an Aqua Terra... cmon, too much suspense, we need pics.

clintfca · 30 July 2014, 04:35 PM

I'm going to say Aqua Terra as well.

Lately the majority of 'incoming' Omega watch unveilings on the popular forums are all Aqua Terras ...

travisb · 30 July 2014, 08:41 PM

Let's see it!!!!

leetse2 · 30 July 2014, 09:15 PM

FOIS with a nicely fitted bracelet???

Zman15 · 30 July 2014, 10:27 PM

Kindly put the suspense to rest.

KBM · 31 July 2014, 01:17 AM

These threads are borderline cruel.

Neunundneunzig · 31 July 2014, 04:30 AM

I too returned from a boutique with a bag..Sadly it only had a complimentary book!

anselm · 2 August 2014, 01:06 AM

The suspense!!! What is it!

sea-dweller · 2 August 2014, 10:38 AM

Well...?????????????

DKS2375 · 6 August 2014, 02:41 PM

Fr John......did you forget us?

Tudor66 · 6 August 2014, 04:20 PM

Given the suspense/drama, I certainly hope you have something more than a magazine, catalog, cup holder and the salesgirl's phone number in that bag..!

Cabaiguan · 7 August 2014, 01:01 AM

I love the Omega boutiques. Don't get me wrong, the AP and Rolex boutiques that I've gone to have all been very nice. However, Omega staff are very friendly and "non-stuffy." IWC is a close second. They let you try on whatever you like and are very accommodating.

richard371 · 7 August 2014, 03:29 AM

Nice bag.

Every Omega Boutique I've been into has been very welcoming and friendly. They always offer something to drink. Free chocolates or candy, and if you're lucky, macaroons. Then if you want a magazine, just ask and they'll even bag it for you.

People gripe about the "no discount" boutique pricing, but they do make the effort to be as customer friendly as possible.

Plus, add the pending in-boutique technician program that's being rolled out, and you get an even better boutique experience.

I think at the ATL boutique last time it was the Scotch that got my attention besides the DSOTM.

jmsrolls · 10 August 2014, 04:44 AM

Sorry I have not been able to follow up with this thread but with school starting up, I have been too busy to get back on the forum. (Plus I had two new watches arrive. More about that later.)

Inside the bag, I found:

In which was my well wrapped FOIS:

No lint or debris under the crystal or gouges or scratches but the end pieces are not as snug as I was able to get them. When I have time, I have an idea of what I can do to improve the fit.

All in all, I am pleased with the outcome and more than happy to have the FOIS home. Four and three quarter stars to the Seattle service center.
