    Hmm.

    He was seen at the Sheffield airport with a huge suitcase full of LE money.
    Didn't he talk about that island in the carribean sea?

    I gave my works adress as the delivery adress :D:D:D:D:D

    I won't be the first to receive my 50, I only just ordered it.
    I missed the posts on the delivery due to sad family circumstances (an uncle died of cancer last weekend, so my priorities were - naturally - with my family).

    I received 21 of them yesterday and the remainder today. I shipped 15 of the first 21 today (all that were ordered) and will ship as many as I can as quickly as I can until all those ordered are shipped.

    You may have seen that I closed the website for ordering so I can ship outstanding orders without delay.

    Hi Benoit,

    if you are within the 7 remaining, you better pay soon :twisted:

    What I understood is that those 7 watches (with serial no.) have not been shipped, because the money did not come in so far :roll:

    You're right about the 7, that's why I edited my post.
    If I understand correctly, my number wasn't in the 21 received yesterday but in the remainder received today

    Told you it would be mine :D



    Number 16 checking in! :D (Arrived just after 9 this morning.)

    The strap will be great for those of you in the BWC (Baboon Wristed Club), but I'm now off to fit something a bit shorter...

    Quick initial impression, it's a sold beast of a thing, very nicely made, love the domed bezel! The Banda watch case is very nice, too.

    It's tall, which makes it look bigger in that shot. Wears a bit bigger than the SAR I've been wearing recently, but not overbearingly so.

    My wrists are 6.75", you can just see the end of it poking up above the top of the bezel in my pic, the two lengths are 80 and 135mm, without buckle.

    It's the retro 70's one that Eddie now sells on the main site, I think I'm going to get a spare and cut one down severely, because it's a nice strap.

    I just received the UPS notification, the watch should arrive the 20 :D :D :D

    Dave,
    Thanks for posting this pic, it really looks great. As for you, I think I will have to fit a smaller strap (maybe a Di-Modell Jumbo ?)

    They look simply superb, I am green with envy. I'm kicking myself for not recognising the thread earlier and getting onto the list.

    I've posted a WTB, but looking at the photos I may have to wait for the non-LE to be available. If I had gotten one I wouldn't be letting it go


    CD :( :( :(

    Gentlemen, your watches are looking good. That strap rocks also. Congratulations.

    A question:

    What does this mean:

    Billing information has been sent to UPS. Check site later for updated shipment status or contact shipper for more details.


    Tracking Number: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
    Type: Package
    Status: Billing Information Received
    Shipped To: XXXXXXX, NL
    Shipped/Billed On: 12/19/2007
    Service: UPS SAVER
    Weight: 1.00 Kg

    Tracking results provided by UPS: 12/19/2007 6:41 A.M. ET


    Does this have something to do with my payment per Credit Card (I used Visa since bank transfers to the UK take approx. a week and are hard to get carried out, NeilC and I found out the hard way :( )?

    I found out!

    If your shipment status is Billing Information Received, then UPS has received the shipper's billing information electronically. This does not indicate shipment pickup or drop-off.
