I think it’s exciting news. It won’t be hard to get for years to come but I bet there will be a waitlist for a while.

But my point is you knew about it because you'd seen it before, online, and you asked for it. A teaser is inappropriate. Maybe Bucherer thinks we don't have the Internet? Making an announcement that the Bucherer edition will be available in the US is exciting. Having a teaser for an unknown watch limited to the US -- after two successful BB58 -- was a letdown (at least, I think most of the people on this thread feel disappointed).

The 2010 called: they want their thick, 43mm bronze watch back.

I am intrigued and would love to see it upon release.

I am glad it is in the US. I have owned one before but may revisit this reference.

Aww. Missed opportunity for Tourneau. Don’t get me wrong as the BBBBB is a great looking watch but a unique release in more manageable sizing would have essentially guaranteed interest. Maybe they had extra bronze cases in inventory they needed to liquidate à la Tourneau in US.
