Well I have an Aqua Terra incoming with 20% off so guess I just got lucky. Fingers crossed.

Have you had a dispatch notification yet? My order says being picked but I ordered late on Friday night so not expecting an update either way until tomorrow.

No further emails yet. Guess it's just a matter of time. All Omegas were even advertised as part of the discount deal. Not good.

Ended up speaking to customer services via online chat following a missed call, they confirmed the error and order cancellation. Received email confirmation shortly after.

Oh well, the search continues!

Some people seem to have got some sort of result or form of compensation by ringing EJ customer services ? -

Someone even claims to have picked his Seamaster up from a store at the discounted price.

So I went to buy a watch, and the man in the shop said "Analogue." I said "No, just a watch."

Congrats. You got lucky. Great timing as I am hearing there's to be a price hike on ATs soon and maybe a run out for the RM.

Enjoy

Great watch.

I doubt EJ are really complaining. Even if they only get 30% nowadays, rather than 40%, they still get a margin they wouldn't have otherwise had, assuming you wouldn't have bought the watch at list price. Maybe they get a slap on the wrist from Omega for a mistake in their promotion. Really, they should in law be able to sell watches at any price they want, so its strictly nothing to do with Omega.

Indeed. It's more though like Omega not wanting to have the brand name cheapened by having their watches discounted en masse.

Which is why I have ways been puzzled why Christopher Ward encourage so many discounts and sales. It can't be good for brand image if prices keep dropping or fluctuate so often. Very bizarre.
