Haha. Something does seem odd though. The 275 switching from sold out to available a couple of times. The delivery changed from Nov 2021 to Apr 2022. Guess we will see.

20 somethings just realizing it’s 37mm and therefore very long shot to flip for max profits and they can’t fathom waiting.

I would have probably ordered a 273 as well but it’s back out now. I can’t figure out which I want.

Considered doing that, but didn’t know if that was a greedy move on my part. I really like the 273 too. Definitely the most unique color of the three I think.

I can't figure out what the 273 will look like in person. One picture it looks kinda yellowish & in another more mint/pistachio.

Looks like all 3 sold out again. Hopefully we can chalk it up to some cancels and site inventory management challenges but still on track to fulfill Oct/Nov 2021 vs 2022.

I've been seeing these all over Instagram the last couple days. Beautiful, absolute homerun by GS. If they were 39mm I'd buy at least one. 37mm is just a little too small for my liking.

I checked with GS customer service. I was one of the late 275 orders just before sold out & they said a November ship date. Sot the April 2022 must have been a glitch in system.

i got bumped off the list... the boutique/WOS apparently oversold the spots on deposits... the kind of world where i can't even get a GS at retail... i should just pick a new hobby

Oh geez, that's not good news... sorry to hear that. I haven't heard back from them yet one way or the other.

Some of the 275s are going out this week. I don’t know about the others.

A few on the forum have gotten an email about delivery date. I have the 275 on order. Unfortunately not me yet.

Beautiful watches! Maybe they will be released as a staple with a slight modification.... hopefully. Would love to have the whole set.

FYI. Totally different texture. These 3 sport Kirazuri dial pattern and the sbgw255 has the iwate with the green alligator. Very nice in person and represents the jade theme well.

The initial set of 275s are being delivered this week. I just got an email from FedEx that it arrives on Thursday. I’m not sure the timing of the other two, but I’d guess it’ll be very soon.
