The release date for the 6105 re-edition is 7/8, in case that wasn't already posted. That's for Japan at least, not sure if the international release is the same. My AD currently isn't shipping to the US due to COVID19, but I guess it could change by then.
Topper said end of May but early June to be safe. Who knows?

Give it a few months. Once the demand settles down there will be discounts available from all the usual places.

Thats true. The turtles were like that when they first came out.

Non-working proto so no wearablity specifics.

Few observations: 1) It appears to be an aluminum bezel which is what I prefer, and 2) did not know the OD version has brushed hands whereas the black had polished.

The green one on a black Nato will be stellar. Swap on a black bezel for the big win.

I’ll surely break my no-date only rule for this watch.

I already have the black on order but might get the green once the prices drop or someone here sells one.

I'm definitely getting the green one, and we'll see which one sticks, this one or the green King Turtle. Black one also looks great.

Unlike many of you guys, the green does nothing for me. The black one, though--might have to make that happen.

Agree with the black bezel.

There are a bunch of really cool GS GMT watches in that thread. Gonna have to look at those later again.

Some interesting pictures... I really need a side profile pic of the Capt Willard watches to see the crystal:

Black dial model is also a winner, although endlinks could be better (this watch wasnt design for a bracelet originally):

Image

This is also interesting, watch is cool and appears to have a really wearable size:

The black 6105 on a rubber strap is going to be great.

Not sure if this video was posted already but Peter goes into depth comparing all the versions of the 6105 (original, reissue and recreation). Very interesting.
