What about taxes?
I immediately called my local AD for the Speedmaster. When she called me back, she stated that I would need to put the full deposit down, which leaves a bad taste in my month. I will be visiting tomorrow to discuss the details. I really don't know what I'm going to do! 
But, what about taxes? Do you have to pay taxes up front or can they ship it out-of-state to save some money?

I just ordered my 60th Anniversary Railmaster
direct from an Omega Boutique here in the USA. To order one of these 60th Anniversary watches (Railmaster, Speedmaster, Seamaster 300, Trilogy box set) you have to pay a deposit for the FULL amount which they will charge on your card now. This is the new ...
Thank you my Friend!
The Railmaster is THE one and only watch in the Trilogy, which differs so from the non-limited production models! A good choice!
Agree 100%
I have around 9 Speedmaster Pro/Pre-Pro models (each one a different ref. #) and 2 SM 300s (one 165.024 and a modern SM 300 Spectre). What I lack in my collection is any Railmaster!
+1. I'll be on my way . . .
. . . to the local boutique tomorrow. And my vintage Omegas are getting nervous. :-( Could very well be that one or more of them has to go. :-( :-(
Funny...
They told me I can request numbers after putting down the full deposit but no guarantees. It used to be 20% down and refundable, now it's not but you can use the fund towards other timepieces. My local boutique said the same 3rd bullet item. My "boss" sai...
well Raymond as you know the Spectre SM 300 is really wow...
Enjoying mine while waiting for the trilogy too (I couldn't resist) but the spectre is hard to beat
There is nothing guaranteed from Omega :D I've pre-ordered 3 different Omegas in the past, 0 orders were ever fulfilled. Wait until you strap it on the wrist to celebrate Read below.
My luck with pre-orders from Omega was fairly bad (was because I'll never order another Omega again). 1. I had the PloProf (2007) on preorder, paid in full, 100% guarantee that it would arrive, waited round 5 months, only to get informed the dealer won't ...
I'm sorry for your experience
I've only dealt with the Omega boutique directly for a few years now and I've always gotten a watch I've put a deposit on. I was told by that they would make it happen that I get my RM since I've been a long time client. Good or bad, I think the boutiques...
+1
My current faves of this year's fair are the 60th Anniversary RM, followed by the 60th Anniversary Speedy, SM 300, new regular production RM, and finally the Longines 1945 "Calatrava".
US MSRP for the 60th Anniversary pieces are
Railmaster - $6,750 Seamaster 300 - $7,000 Speedmaster - $7,250

Look at my 4th bullet point in my original post starting this thread
It answers your question on taxes if you're in the USA.
I saw that bullet point . . .
That's what made me question their "process." So, the OB or AD you purchased from stated that they refuse to ship it out-state-of-state to save you taxes?
Paid my deposit to the Beverly Center Omega boutique today . . .
. . . and now patiently waiting for the 60th anniversary Rail to be delivered. Art
Honest to gosh, I've been waiting at least ten years . . .
. . . for a Rail that faithfully adhered to the original, and Omega hit it out of the ballpark. I wouldn't be able to forgive myself for passing this one up. Art
