Yup, this. I really like it. The lume is serious and I love the sub dials. Agree that I would like a bracelet, though I would think most buyers would already have a speedy or two with bracelet.

Reserved on as well... :oops:

Email states that I will be contacted by a salesperson in summer 2017 - gives me time to find money for it.

I don't care for the modern speedy bracelet. The too-big end links make the case too bulky. Strap is perfect.

Agreed. I had mine on an OEM Kevlar wrapped double ridged strap that was the tits.

It's saying sold out again. Or at least it says all #s are temporarily allocated. Maybe people are reserving and then backing out after thinking about it.

It ties up the reservation for 15 minutes to give you a chance to complete it. If you don't complete it then the number goes back into the pool. You also have 24 hours to confirm so additional reservations could become available tomorrow. And there is no obligation to purchase when the watch becomes available in the spring so it's possible that watches could be up for grabs then too.

Why in the hell anyone would want a hashtag on their watch is totally beyond me. It may not be the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen but it is certainly on the list.

That's a great looking Speedo. Could never do without a bracelet though.

It's nice looking but more than I'd want to pay for a speedy. Love the lumed subdials.

Not much point in looking at Instagram today. My feed is pretty much nothing but screenshots of reservation confirmations :)

They should have made this with a downpayment, otherwise too many tire-kickers block real buyers. I bet you half of those reservations won't buy

If they don't buy then a real buyer will get a shot. Just means they'll have to keep checking back.

Also how many of them are in for resale? Should require OG owner's SS# engraved on the caseback, fn pedllers :lol:

A downpayment though is a real separator of serious vs bs. In the car industry it happens all the time, everyone wants to order some car/color/package and when asked put down $250 and we'll get it for you then all of the sudden "i'm not sure, i have to ask my wife, I'm testdriving something else first, I may get run over by a bus by then"

I wonder how long before someone tries to sell their reservation slot on eBay.

Is the reservation transferable? Most often not.
