The black date wheels for the movements didn't arrive until Thursday so they should be here next week. Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.

In the novel Gone with the Wind, Rhett does not say "Frankly", but simply "My dear, I don't give a damn". The context is also different; he is speaking quietly to Scarlett in a room, not storming dramatically out of the house.

We know you do give a damn ... and just playing hard to get. :tongue4:

When the SB3 comes out I might decide not to give a damn but I am not here to win arguments. :blackeye:
... it's called passive aggressive and it's the only way to deal with these hostile noth'eners. :bom:
Pssst, what day next week? :twisted:

Thursday, almost certainly Thursday. The only day next wekk that I'll be on a daylong business trip without internet connection (I have UMTS mobile internet, but I'll be driving for most of the day).Originally Posted by abraxas

It's got to be a day when even if ordered early that same day, one wouldn't actually get one's SB3 until at least after a weekend of antici pation.
Worse. SB3 release coincides with 3G iPhone!

My PRS50 is my lucky watch, so maybe a Speedbird3 can be as well.

Do you have pricing info for us? Or will the pricing info come in the weekend as well?
I already have the pricing info. I had to find out 4 invoices stretching over a year; tooling costs for bracelet, tooling costs for case, movement cost and now the cost for the watch as delivered. He didn't make it easy.
