They will also ship over the world - friend of mine in NY got a Trilobe from them, brand new at a discount, and they shipped! Usually very knowledgeable about the brands they are an AD for, including Omega.

Thanks for the suggestion, I just checked Feldmar's website. They did carry it but are sold out.

I totally get where you're coming from and agree. Some OB's can secure allocation even with no purchase history. It's definitely worth a shot

If I find one in a OB I will wear my 1976 Montreal Albatros Chrono-Quartz and remind them that I have been a customer for 48 years.

I stopped by Omega after work and was able to see / try on the new FOIS. This is no exaggeration; it might be one of the most beautiful watches I've ever seen in my life. No watch is perfect, but the new FOIS might be as close as I've ever seen.

Also with Feldmar, they’ll let you know if they can’t source the watch and which OB to go to. They did that with my Spectre - told me no way they would get a true LE and sent me to the Beverly Center boutique. This was back in 2015, so the watch market was a little different (although not sure how different it really is with respect to Omega (versus Rolex’s huge shift)), but they had 3 Spectre models (the only three in the LA area left) and I snagged one. No discount, but got the watch for MSRP and not a cent more.

I have been waiting for a snoopy for four years just to give you an idea. If I can get one I will not be getting the New FOIS.

Still looking for a cheap bad condition 3520.53 to do a restoration project on. I don’t mind only the watch head without the strap or bracelet.
