I like the look and I might buy for myself. I'm doing research to get an idea of how popular this piece is. I flip if I get bored so I don't want to get hosed selling this piece. This is why I asked the question. I'm not asking for investment purposes if this is what you're getting at.

I'll stand by what I said. You buy this with the attitude that you will never get your money back. If you can flip and break even or make a profit, great. But mentally he prepared to write the whole thing off. Much better to think that way.

I must say I'm guilty to posting a f#%ton in this thread. Sort of a dead time for watch releases so nothing better to do
Wait did it show up yet? Time to check my email :)

Yup. I don't mind losing 10-15% on a flip but any more then it's hard to swallow.

Ahhh at least he still talking to you!!! I bet half the AD in USA are hiding in case they get asked about the 5522. We need a new thread speculating on the box!

I'm wondering if the inside of the box will smell more like a 5167 or a 5711.

Have their been any deliveries other than Geary? I've gotten the thumbs up from my AD and some color that it should occur over the next month or so.

Have you made sure you have a dedicated phone line so no danger of it being engaged when the AD calls to say come pick it up or I am passing it into the next guy pestering me?

Just a bit.

Did your source confirm your allocation? I've been told I didn't meet the cut, and also that watches will ship through November.
