Re: Only 4-6 dealers selling LE Bond?

In Response To: Only 4-6 dealers selling LE Bond? ()

: Guess Omega isn't forecasting the LE Bond to
: contribute much to the +35% increase...

Well, since production will be limited to 10,007 pieces worldwide (thankfully!!), it won't account for as many sales as the Planet Ocean (now a Bond watch) or the Bond SMP. Interestingly, my AD did mention that he spoke to some other AD's who went to Basel, and they told him that even they weren't able to get any of the LE models. I do remember that the 2002 LE SMP sold out quickly, but it was available in a number of stores in my area alone. That's why I can't understand why this uglier piece will be THIS limited.

It was apparent to my AD that the sales rep really felt that anything Bond related was going to sell like crazy, so that may be why Omega is expecting these LE pieces to move so quickly. My heart goes out to all of the people who buy these watches and have to look at that thing on their wrist, get dizzy and faint, have to call a doctor or go to the ER...
