They have apparently sold out of the allocated watches for the USA.

Don did tell me there would be upcoming models that would be available for purchase, without the limited/referral thing. The M100 was done this way and made “special” as it’s the first watch and a tribute of sorts to the original.

I think the M100 is a great looking piece and I’d gladly own one. Let’s hope the future models are designed as well.

I hope they proved me wrong, but who knows what selling out the US allocation means. They might have only allocated 5 watches for us yanks.
You should buy one. I'd love to watch the flip go down a couple weeks later.

Some additional photos. It just looks better to me each time I see it. I hope to have one soon.

This is the impression when I saw the Oak and Oscar offerings in person. It was a $400 watch case for me. :scratch:
