I know the vintage #22 is not paid for yet :D
dude was in there getting a sevenfriday and said to put #22aside for him.
Dennis of gnomon could be tempted to sell the one on his wrist..? (Still wrapped in plastic)

Probably for the best. I definitely suffer from "something shiny syndrome". My only defense against these $500 micros is to remember they actually represent 1/6 the cost of a Black Bay.

I asked them to let me know if one becomes available, we'll see what happens. Anyway, congrats on yours.

Was trying to hold off on a PayPal payment so I didn't have to tap into my bank account. Can't believe it sold out. Very disappointed

Coming into a dark room from regular exposure its OK..its that pale yellow tone? Applied quite evenly on the dial and bezel - to me thats important.
There is a bezel pip so gotta see how that one is applied later.

Its no seiko but probably adequate for a glance in the dark at 3am and not lose your way.
Will mess around with some flashlight exposure tmr.

I think the blasted version looks like the orgy love child of a Sinn, BPFF, and The Fly

Absolutely. Will do a thread when I get back tmr. Just a very well done piece
I am looking forward to yours and Ed's opinions on these. Can you do a few comparison pictures with other watches in your collections as well?
Sure thing. Any particular requests?
Next to your no date sub and BP is probably a good comparison as I have owned or worn both. Too bad the first 100 of the vintage are gone. I suspect the next 50 might be put up or are they all gone?

Vintage being sold out I am trying the bead blasted model. Don't have a bb case so why not. But if I like the watch case and size I'll likely grab the vintage later and sell this one.

Just FYI .... I will probably only keep one, so I'll have one in the USA soon.

It seems as though there might additional units available tomorrow.

From WUS:

*update 5.Feb.17* We have temporarily stopped taking orders for the Tropic Diver 300 Vintage - Limited Edition 150 due to overwhelming response.
We will be assigning the serials to those who have placed your order and will open up the order books again on Monday for the unassigned numbers and the remaining numbers. Leave your email to be notified once it is available again. Once again, thank you for your support.

I wish the markers were a little easier to see.
