Same with the blue dial/bezel version.

keeps slipping, last I heard was early August. Need to ship soon if we are going to make mid-August...

Trying not to pull the trigger on some others because I'm expecting this one, getting weak...

So Jura is saying Sept. 28 now on their site and Steiner says mid Sept. Starting to think this watch is vaporware...

I can’t even get a response from Jura...rather just bail if I could.

Sorry to hear that you guys are experiencing delays.

I was all hot to trot for this one, but the Doxa orange dial will do me just fine, so I’m out on the Certina.

I received a timely response from Jura and than received this email from a CS rep for CW Sellors who apparently Jura deals with. The email ended up in my junk folder.

Well, I emailed Certina asking about status, no response. Anyone heard anything?

Alright, it came today! Strap change and I'm liking it! Thought it was going to be too tall, but its manageable.

Bezel is a little difficult to turn, really have to push down. Also the crown was so tight, almost needed pliers to loosen it...

Some quick photos:

Mine is on the way as well. Despite the challenges, I’m looking forward to it.

That looks really good. Is the crystal different from the original reissues?

Todd, yes, the PH200M was acrylic, this one is sapphire.
