5168g exepected release

Does anyone have an order in and have news on when they are expecting the 5168? Seeing as the advanced research already landed I'm surprised we haven't seen any incomings yet?



Edit: well guess I can't fix the title and I have to live with my stupidity on display

I have one on order as well, but no clue as to what price I will be able to negotiate on it. I would expect at least about 15% given that it's PM.

Is this a regular production series? Or limited edition?

Yeah I would love a 5167r type discount but given it's a white metal and blue dial I am not holding my breath.

Frankly if I had the dough to burn it would already be on order. I'm in a wait and see mode.

Wonder how the larger size compares to the 5167. Wish I lived near an AD to see.

I'd accidentally whack that bezel on something within twenty four hours but it does look good.

5168g exepected release

I'm almost certain. I saw Paul McCartney wearing one performing last month as I watched it on the internet. It looked larger than his aquanaut he normally wears and looked blue but I'm sure he probably gets them earlier than almost anyone else

With my 7.33-7.5" wrist the 5168 would def look better but like Martin said, I would wreck that bezel quickly. Maybe one day......
