It’s interesting. It showed as sold out a couple of hours ago. I guess some cancelled orders.

My friend just purchased one literally a minute ago. So … I think going to be sold-out by 12 pm ET (my guess).

What I said wasn't meant to dispute your claim. What I was saying is some people canceled orders and therefore more opened up. Another possibility is GS had an issue with their website. As of midnight EST the 275 was showing up as sold out.

Didn’t take it that way at all. So, all good!

Wonder if a few flippers decided to cut bait gauging demand based on sell out times. Haven't been this excited since the SBGM235.

That's what I was thinking. I was definitely surprised this didn't sell out immediately. Probably a combination of LE fatigue, late in the day announcement, not super easy directions regarding ordering process and limited publication (only saw this on the GS Instagram, Hodinkee and ABtW).

Either way, I'm glad I got mine. Super excited to see this dial in person.
