Thanks !

That would have been before I was on the mailing list.

It seems to me, that the delivery dates belonging to the dials. Mine is blue on steel bracelet, and it predicted to be finished in October.

I don't think so, I think its more of when the order was placed.
I've placed the order within 5 minutes after the email for a blue and due in June (May QC)

INC · 19 January 2023, 11:35 PM

Probably you are right, I wasn't so fast.

john333 · 20 January 2023, 01:22 AM

I got the email for the preorder but didn’t pull the trigger. I just placed an order for the purple dial on black strap. It said preorder for delivery by October 31st…hopefully that’s true. Also hope I can add the light brown leather strap when I pay the balance as I think that would look great. It wasn’t an option for the preorder. I’ll likely have Aaron (Combat Straps/Aaron Bespoke) make a custom brown strap with purple stitching in it.

enjoythemusic · 20 January 2023, 01:37 AM

Yes, you can add leather / bracelet during checkout when it is ready to ship.

I put in a preorder. I wavered a bit on it but at the end of the day it's something so different from anything else I have so I went for it. Went with the light blue one because that is also something different from anything I have.

Totally with you on this. Great minds think alike. Lol…

-dustin · 20 January 2023, 02:29 AM

I'm wavering now. Purple and black is a killer combo. Oi.

Madman37 · 20 January 2023, 03:22 AM

is it worth waiting until they appear on ebay now they are on general sale they will be lower than retail eventually

Same subject is always brought up with purchasing via grey or AD. There's no right answer.

pendlepants · 20 January 2023, 10:46 AM

anyone else put a deposit down on one of the new colors today? I managed to get the rosa with a bracelet.

john333 · 20 January 2023, 10:49 AM

Yep, purple.

Enzo954 · 20 January 2023, 10:59 AM

I have the purple on the black strap pre-ordered and it's due sometime in July.

ZOOK · 20 January 2023, 11:01 AM

Deposit/order confirmation on a black dial w/bracelet today.

ansharma · 21 January 2023, 09:21 AM

Just pre-ordered the purple dial with bracelet and will add the purple strap. Thanks all for the heads up and am very excited to add this unique piece to my collection.

I wonder how long they will continue to take orders as surely resources are limited to build this complex piece but hopefully they are able to fulfil interest.

HogwldFLTR · 25 January 2023, 06:27 AM

Does anyone have a problem with the lack of a second hand on this? It strays away from the traditional minute repeater formula by a ways.

Strays away by not being a minute repeater.

Many watches with no second hand these days. Parmigiani micro-rotor, MAD1, Moser flying hours. It's a fun watch and if you want a second hand - you have lots of options to buy something more traditional. My life can cope being 60 seconds either way..........!

enjoythemusic · 25 January 2023, 10:56 AM

Oh my, no seconds hand needed on this release. I could see the complaints now, how their's chimes two seconds too late, or early. Best stay away from a seconds hand imho.

HogwldFLTR · 26 January 2023, 09:46 AM

By the way, does anyone know what size the strap is? I can't find it on their site. Regarding the second hand, their +/- 20 seconds per day is kind of moot.

I think the prices will come down now the "second wave" has been released but IMHO there will always be a premium for the first 300 LE series.

EdwardC · 29 January 2023, 04:07 AM

I am waiting for someone to review the green. In pictures that's probably the best color they have made so far.

ap1 · 29 January 2023, 10:54 AM

You guys made me do it , purps

carnage9191 · 29 January 2023, 10:57 AM

Glad to see I wasn’t the only one who pulled the trigger on the second wave. Just place a deposit for the black dial. It’s a great affordable alternative to an MB&F or breguet

That’s the way to go on this piece! Totally bonkers in design specs so may as well go big on colour to compliment

Congrats and looking forward to mine too.
