Ok guys...here's the deal. The official group buy thread will go up after a phone call to Omega on Tuesday. There are a couple of details that I want to confirm before I start taking information etc...from people.
I am going to verify:
1. Whether or not both NA wings and NFO wings are pre-existing designs. (that Omega has already done) If this is the case, we will only have to get 10 people for each design.
2. Doublecheck pricing and shipping cost from Omega.
3. I need to get an online contract from them that each of you will have to print and sign and return to me guaranteeing that you will not resell your watch for 5 years. Omega already has this as a Word doc. but I need to get it to send around to participants.
4. I am going to verify the process for getting extra bands (as requested by a few members). It won't be a problem, but I want to find out whether a current watch purchaser needs to purchase them, or if it is alright to have a standalone order for the bands.
If you have other questions that you feel are pressing, please post them up here so I can ask Omega on Tuesday. (Contact is out of the office on Monday)
Like I said, after that phone call I will post an "Official Group Buy" thread and we will be on our way. Expect contracts before the end of the week. I am willing to accept input on a deadline for requests...obviously it will be based on getting the requisite number of orders first and foremost...but after that it really comes down to how soon do you want your watch!
For all those who have confirmed that they will be "in" either in this thread or in email, expect a contact from me sometime early this week.
If you are on the fence, I highly reccomend getting in on this. Take a look at Ebay...these watches are worth much more than we are paying. They are a really high quality item. I had reservations prior to seeing one in person having always been a traditional watch guy...however after seeing one, they are a highly functional, sharp looking piece of gear. Trust me, you can come up with this money somehow, and I really believe you will regret it if you don't.
