Got mine 3 weeks after the release & just Love it! Added it my speedy collection & is now my favorite watch! A few days after picking it up at the Boutique @ Zurich Switzerland, I went to Watches & Wonders Geneva & at least 50+ people came up to me & asked it that’s the new Speedy (even people working at different watch makers there) & they took pictures, tried it on & where just so complimentary I couldn’t believe it! Was there with a large crew of watch collectors & they couldn’t believe that nobody cared about most of their $100k watches, but the Speedy ruled the show, even though Omega wasn’t there 😂
Thankfully I’ve never had this problem with my black dial, however my 3 hour sub dial has not been vertically aligned as of recently. This is after two years of ownership, on the other hand. My first Rolex was gifted to me in 2012 and didn’t require a service until 2020.
There's nothing wrong with the watch. You can set the chronometer hand to any position on the watch. I forget the directions but unscrew the crown and pull it out one or two notches and push one of the chrono button. The hand should move
I'm not sure about the deposit situation and that you need to purchase it today. That doesn't sound right. I remember when I was looking for a green 300M when it was still hard to get a piece. One manager in one boutique asked for a deposit, but when I went to another one, it was a totally different story. No deposit. They called me, and I came a few days later to purchase it. Later, I purchased from the same boutique 300m 007 60th Anniversary and Snoopy with no deposits or requirement to pay now. And now I'm waiting for my 321 with no deposit that I should get in a few months
@@HawaiianHorology I thought it looked different. We should have gone there! Haha. I'll try again though.... Was it Yuki at Ben Bridge Timeworks that sold you the watch?
I like the black dial better also but I did pick up the white dial just because the only other white dial I like is a Rolex panda but thats over my budget.
I’ve just had to refuse my silver snoopy that I’ve waited 3.5 yrs for.I got the call and went to pick it up, and there was something on the dial , like a piece of fluff or a hair, I simply could not take it home with me….I was so disappointed.
There's Honolulu Time Company that has a great second hand collection and the Ala Moana mall has most of the major brands like Rolex, Omega, Tag ect. Have fun in Hawaii
I have Omega and Rolex watches and everyone of them are well built and so far with no issues or whatsoever. Common guys none of them brands is perfect. They produce and sell millions of them and they are all machine built. Those things can happen and Just because there are a few monday watches out there that doesn’t mean they produce sh*t. There are millions of satisfied customers out there. Of course, those things cost a lot of money, but here is exactly where you can see how a brand operates when a problem occurs and specifically how they treat their customers. If they manage to solve the issue and make everything smooth for the customer what else could you ask for? I mean we buy mechanical wonders that tell us the time on -2 to +2 or 0 to +5 seconds per day. In this day and age we could easily use our phones that does this job even more accurate and cheaper. The complicated movements especially the chronographs can have issues if not handled properly or maybe shipped.
Super Awesome they exchanged it that way - For sure Rolex would make you be with out a watch, Thanks so much for this Video as I expect to get this Exact watch in a few day hopefully mine is perfect and i for sure will check this when I pick mine up. -
I also had an issue with the chronometer on my new white Speedy and the watch is currently with Omega being repaired. My issue was that the chronometer would not stop with the upper pusher and the center seconds hand kept spinning. After repeated push attempts, the seconds hand would not stop, but return to the 12 o'clock position. It would operate normally after that 15-20 times then the same problem would occur again. Very bummed to send it in for service after owning it for only one week.
1:38 "Chronograph". Chronometer is a specification, not a function. For someone with as many pieces as you have, and as into this hobby as you are, that really hurt the soul to hear lol.
It's not high demand honestly you're being scammed paying full price for it - it's not worth half that if you try to sell it on you'll realise no one wants it
@@HawaiianHorologyyou didn’t get scammed. Retailers that discount ruin the market in general. Enjoy the piece and only buy watches to own and not resell. If you do it that way, it really doesn’t make much difference.
Had also issues with the black dial one. Chronograph pusher stopped and activated the small second and Not the Big one. Lmao. Omega is no longer what it once was
@@HawaiianHorology Omega fanboy since 2009 but I switched from Omega (I also had 3 and had problems with two) to Rolex due to too many problems. I was never a Rolex fan, but I'm really excited about the brand now. Extremely good quality for almost the same money as Omega nowadays.
It's funny how people can nicely accept a major defect like this by a big brand like Omega. But still would give shit to brands like Seiko for quality control issues that happen on much cheaper time pieces. I don't blame Rolex, Omega, and PP for what they do as long as we have customers who take their shit gladly.
Why get the same one instead of getting a totally new one . If a car is lemon I wouldn’t want a mechanical to fixed it and give me back I would like a brand new car.
@@HawaiianHorology I did not order another one. I ordered the faulty one through the Army Air Force Exchange (AAFES), which is an authorized dealer. And in fact, the Seamaster 300 was shipped directly from the Swatch Group facility in New Jersey. I was actually shocked when I saw that three or four of the letters across the front were either very light or half missing. They must have some type of a laser engraver, but it didn't work on this one. So I sent it back and got all my money back. I'm sticking with my vintage Omega's at this point, the 50th anniversary GMT, and a 1999 chronograph, which I sent back to a Megan Switzerland for a full service.
@@JustMeTalking Agreed! If you didn't buy it from that store. They would probably have the in house watchmaker take a look at it or send it to RSC worst case.

haha yes that is awesome the white speedy stole the show!
Congrats on the new piece. And good on them for making it right. Good luck.
Thanks yeah I was really impressed with their customer service

I had no idea thanks
Funny how the one that became available early is defective.
Imagine you're on the moon and your chronometer doesn't reset! 🙄 lol!
Yikes
Other World Problems 😂

I hope you get it soon! I also got the green seamaster from this same boutique and I put a deposit at that time too right when it was released
Bummer about the watch!
Was the Korean BBQ at the Ala Moana Mall?
the Korean BBQ was at Han no Daidokoro it's actually very close to the mall it was awesome!
@@HawaiianHorology I thought it looked different.
We should have gone there! Haha.
I'll try again though.... Was it Yuki at Ben Bridge Timeworks that sold you the watch?
I still don't get the frenzy over the white dial. I think the original black color looks way better.
it's just something new and shiny
I like the black dial better also but I did pick up the white dial just because the only other white dial I like is a Rolex panda but thats over my budget.
I could have gotten the white but I got the original, looks so much better
The reason I have a Hulk is because I exchanged it for my Speedmaster that had the same problem as you have just described. This was back in 2011.
Dang from all the way back then!
The watch is okay buddy and that's how it is.
good to know
I’ve just had to refuse my silver snoopy that I’ve waited 3.5 yrs for.I got the call and went to pick it up, and there was something on the dial , like a piece of fluff or a hair, I simply could not take it home with me….I was so disappointed.
That sucks!
@@HawaiianHorology I would have bought it and sent it in for service that day. Boom. Done.
I feel like the speedmaster logo is askew too.
Good thing it got returned!
Wow - hopefully you get the same feeling with the new watch, any watch stores you recommend in Honolulu, I will be visiting this month
There's Honolulu Time Company that has a great second hand collection and the Ala Moana mall has most of the major brands like Rolex, Omega, Tag ect.
Have fun in Hawaii
@@HawaiianHorology thank you, I have been to all the shops Ala Moana and the other large mall, I’ll check out Time company
Dude! This happened to my black dial version..had to take it back for work at the AD ..seems to be an issue with this watch
Ohh no! I hope this isn't a huge problem with this watch and movement
They probably didn’t cut the stem deep enough. This happened to a watch of mine too.

I totally agree you are paying for the watch but also the customer service!
Do you love it thought?
I do really like it! it's a keeper!
@@HawaiianHorology I loved it when i tried it on. Im still waiting for my call!
Super Awesome they exchanged it that way - For sure Rolex would make you be with out a watch, Thanks so much for this Video as I expect to get this Exact watch in a few day hopefully mine is perfect and i for sure will check this when I pick mine up. -
Yeah I am very pleased with their service I hope to get it back soon!
@@HawaiianHorology - You dont have the OMEGA back
Waiting 4 months now wtf!
I hope you get it soon
Did you get a discount or did you have to pay full retail?
no discount
How much are these? I got 9% off msrp on my breitling a few months back with an 8 yr warranty and an extra band.
Speedmaster is next on my list

Things happen, but can’t beat that customer service.
That's the best part I just got another one and it's awesome!
Omg, just reading the comments!!
What a negative World we live in!
Everyone an expert, Rolex fan boys hating Omega & vice versa 🤷🏻♂️, sad really!
I feel ya!
1:38 "Chronograph". Chronometer is a specification, not a function. For someone with as many pieces as you have, and as into this hobby as you are, that really hurt the soul to hear lol.
sorry this is my first chronograph lol
This should not have happened. Even before, when the Speedmaster cost "only" £4000, but definitely not now that it costs £7600.
It was very disappointing but I'm glad they fixed it
It's not high demand honestly you're being scammed paying full price for it - it's not worth half that if you try to sell it on you'll realise no one wants it
True I should have waited but I wanted it so I paid retail
@@HawaiianHorologyyou didn’t get scammed. Retailers that discount ruin the market in general. Enjoy the piece and only buy watches to own and not resell. If you do it that way, it really doesn’t make much difference.
Months later people are still trying to get it and paying retail.
I hope the champagne works o.k.
Haha nice one!
Had also issues with the black dial one. Chronograph pusher stopped and activated the small second and Not the Big one. Lmao. Omega is no longer what it once was
This is my third omega the quality seems to be good I hope this isn't a major problem for them

Ask if they can swap it for the black one. The white one looks naff imho. Sorry to hear your troubles with it.
The black is nice but I'm partial to the white for now!
Surely there's no wait list for this
I would never expect that from OMEGA!!!!! Wow 😮
They corrected it well
Wow. Come on Omega. Tighten up the QC. How disappointing. 😮
There was no issue with the watch. He didn't read the manual nor know how the buttons functioned. You have to pull the crown to use the chrono
You probably pushed the bottom button while it was running after pushing the top button which is something that can cause this to happen. Rookie error
Exactly my thought. By the way he is pressing it in the video multiple times, i presume he busted the movement.
It's funny how people can nicely accept a major defect like this by a big brand like Omega. But still would give shit to brands like Seiko for quality control issues that happen on much cheaper time pieces.

I'm not sure what you mean by accept the watch was returned and I got a brand new one with no issues
They sold you the exhibition piece :(
lol
lol the demand is not that high, that's how you got it so fast
I think that's a good thing for people who really want the watch
Why get the same one instead of getting a totally new one . If a car is lemon I wouldn’t want a mechanical to fixed it and give me back I would like a brand new car.
yes i got a new one
So... Swatch Moonswatch is better quality now. 😂😂 (joke)
I own two Omega watches myself, hope you get it sorted😊
I just took it back hopefully I get one soon
METAS certified though 😂
That made me laugh haha
💩
If you dont stop the chronograph before resetting it, you can kill the chronograph.
I don't think I did that but I will remember for when I get it back thanks
That's the only advantage that I can see to a Flyback Chronograph.
Kind of makes screw down pushers make sense too ; )
I received a white dial SM300 from an AD with incomplete writing on the face. I sent it back.
How fast did you get it another one?

Put that watch on your left hand. wtf
It doesn’t fit on the left lol
That sucks. And you meant chronograph not chronometer. But you know that 😃
thanks yeah that's what I meant to say
What a hunk of junk! I guess this answers the people that always comment "wHo nEeDs a rOlEx? i'lL JuSt gEt aN OmEgA!"
Fuel for the fire!
This makes me stay away from Omega.
My 3 Chinese Seagull chronos are working fine😂!
lol
Amazingly poor quality control from Omega. I am gobsmacked 😮
It happens. They make thousands of watches. They are making it right by doing an exchange. The crown would definitely not do that.
I really do wonder what rolex would do
@@HawaiianHorology ... probably call it a fake and ban you from their Store
@@JustMeTalking Agreed! If you didn't buy it from that store. They would probably have the in house watchmaker take a look at it or send it to RSC worst case.
These things happen with mechanical items buddy, its life
Omega QC scandal 😮
yikes!
Omega being Omega....
😳😱🫨😭
When it comes to fine imitation watches, nkuwan delivers. I've bought from them several times, and I've never been let down.
Get a Daytona. No issues
I'm trying!!!
They can't make these fast enough = junk
Suuuure 🤣
i have a watchdive for just 125 dollars and looks just the same, and no one around me cares about the tiny logo, i saved 7600 dollars 😅🙂😂🤣😀😃
Value Alert!
Trash
My dady bought one #nkuwan and he loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when he went out with it.
nkuwan 's watches are worth it！
I only go to nkuwan to buy a mirror copy watch！
