Interesting, I searched everywhere, under the manual, in the manual, in the pelican case, inside the inner travel case, nada. Will call the boutique tomorrow to see if they have it, but I doubt it. Knowing the set is slightly incomplete is bugging me lol.

Thank you. Fortunately, it turns out the boutique still has it and will ship it to me.

For those still waiting...Received an update email this morning that watch expected to arrive late this week, and will be ready for shipping early next week. Fingers crossed.

Got the same email. The first update email I received. More than a month later after buying the watch. Not the greatest customer service and a bit strange as other got intermediate updates.

Congratulations, gents! 3 weeks in, just as pleased as the day it arrived. And it gave me a good excuse to get my 5513 off to LAWW for a service and new crystal, she was in dire need.

Mine arrived too, I guess the unlucky last wave! I like the watch though! Not sure why there was so much hate on the nato, it’s a good match for the watch - wear my vintage ones on a nato too

I know, right? I like the nato, would have been nice to include a sailcloth strap too

Current prices

1. Who would wear it for two weeks and then sell it?
2. Who would ding it up and lose the hang tag in two weeks?

Anyway, DavidSW’s asking price seems strikes me as a pretty good indicator of where the secondary market is for these watches. I wonder what they would ask for an unworn one.
Prices are coming down it is, David SW still not sold and have reduced to 19,700 USD. Wonder where the general pricing is now. Seems Delray sold theirs...

Are you sure? The DavidSW website still lists it at $21,975. Furthermore, I think European Watch Company sold theirs for something like $25k.

Maybe they upgraded the NATO before this last batch of watches went out, and you got a better one than the guys who got the first batch.😉

Saw on Chrono 24 - seems like the prices are around 20k (shows reserved on the David SW listing).

Hard to say really, maybe one of the new owners can post here! :D

Well, I’m keeping mine, so it’s only a matter of curiosity for me.

Bracelet will work. I highly recommend the BP Tropic-style rubber that came on the Barakuda. For the foreseeable future mine will be either on that or one of my PhenomeNato Natos.

Do you think the number, XX/250, has any impact on value?

Let's see some Milspec action shots! Do you all plan to wear yours or squirrel them away?

No. I could see maybe 00X/250, but even then, unlikely.

Seems second hand prices are dropping too - one listing on c24 has it for 18,900 USD.

Yeah don’t think particular numbers get more premium? but maybe 88 or 8 :)

Again, the market can't support so many watches being flipped all at once for 50% over retail. The 20-25% of people that bought to flip may slowly lower their asks until they get to retail or slightly below b/c they simply want the watches gone short term.
Wait a year and see what happens when they are nowhere to be found.
It's the same pattern over and over.
