Constantly refreshing tracking will lead to anxiety.
If it's lost or seized, you'll be covered by Steve and get a new one.
If it's not, it's on the way to you.
Worrying about it will not change the end of the outcome either way.
Received mine today! Despite that being odd mine did take off Friday. The Steve collective is the man

My summer blue came in today
Some minor defects (my dealer didn't accept any RL because it was no stock left), but overall, I'm impressed. (Bracelet has burn marks, dial has some dust or something on the edges). It has the classic minor drunken VSF markers but this is barely noticeable in real life.
The lume application is terrible - very grainy/uneven on the hands and the numerals. Guess they got sloppy and used whatever they have left to build it.
However, I forgot how wonderful VSF crystal is, it's almost invisible on the Seamaster at some angles.
Overall, I'd been disappointed if I paid $400 for it. For $240 shipped it was a no brainer. In 5 years I'll have people begging to buy it off of me!

It's much better in real life than photos. I think in photos, the rep summer blue looks cheap. But in real life it looks very premium, the color and the shading.Now I'm stressing because I bought the last summer blue he had!

Got major fomo and managed to bag a black dial version from Steve. I believe he has a couple more left
Happy new watch. It's a cracker 
I was thinking about going for a VSF Omega with the A2824 movement, was put off with the crown stem issue. So as a Noob do I just go for it at the discounted price and not worry about it....
I have a couple of other watches with the same movement but not Omega, their all good as they only have occasional wear. Cheers.

Mate, I didn't plan on it either… but somehow I convinced myself that this Omega Seamaster was not just a want - it was a life necessity. So there I was, mid-toothbrush, foaming at the mouth like a lunatic, frantically messaging Steve.
At first, he broke my heart - “none left,” he says. I nearly dropped my electric Philips sonicare in despair. But lo and behold, 10 minutes later the legend comes back like a watch fairy godmother: “I’ve got 3 left.” Boom. First time buying from Steve, first time dipping my toe into Omega waters via the VSF express lane, of course.
Now I wait… like a Bond villain plotting world domination...but with slightly better taste in wristwear. Worth it? Probably. Necessary? Absolutely not. Regret? Ask me after the wristroll....
