Hi Eddie, hope all is well and have had a good Christmas and New Year!
I was wondering what your estimated opening date for the shop is this year? Dying to get an order in for the 'Baby' Willard!!
Many thanks,
Fraser
Thanks for the info

Can't wait for the fun to begin! I set more alarms for the shop opening than I do to wake up in the morning.
What's it like ordering on the website? I've only purchased one everest and that was secondhand.
I was eagerly waiting for the shop to open but with all the brexit things going on I'm having second thoughts since I'm a different country. I really wish I had ordered a prs-40 months ago.

Frustrating isn’t it. I’m from the UK but living elsewhere in Europe and this whole issue has been very frustrating from the start. But now it seems like it’s going to effect everything in regards to purchases over 22 quid (inc shipping). I’m often put off from buying say from America due to getting hit with customs and now we have this in Europe. I can always send it to a family member in the UK but it’s not ideal.

You can expect between 4-5 emails per year based on my archives for 2019 and 2020
The last two you should have received seem to be (mm/dd/yyyy)

Well as of now I guess I cannot expect any emails. Second time I subscribed was during the order proces in sept. 2020. At least that's how I remember it. I thought Let's tick that box since I haden't received anything then. But even after ordering I never got any mail. Perhaps I'm too stupid to subscribe but yah. I will probably never find out way it didn't work twice.
I will say that I found out about the ordering date from this forum first, but a couple of days before the store opened I DID receive an email. I managed to not spend all of my money this go around and signed up for an email for January. I believe it will be either the Expedition or the PRS-36. Ciao! BTW, is London now on ZULU time?
Thanks Redhead. I've subscribed so lets see how it goes. The last time I tried to place an order in December I could even get the site to load on my computer at 1355 and it was closed again a few minutes past 1400. Fingers crossed.

Regarding Brexit - will the prices for EU customers be without UK VAT from now on?
Any kind of solid date on the release yet? Desperate to get my hands on an everest.

I got my Everest second (third?) hand on another watch forum. It’s doable without a huge premium. I think the 36 mm is actually commanding a higher secondary value than the 40 mm that I got.
It obviously sucks that these are being resold but I can’t say I don’t understand it. Maybe someone needs a quick buck because they had some sort of emergency expense. Maybe someone fell out of love with their watch or needs to sell to fund their grail. It’s isn’t necessarily all scalpers (although that’s always a consideration for any limited run product). I never made a dime selling my watches and I wouldn’t ever part with the one Rolex sub I’ve purchased.
There's never been any VAT on the prices on my website.

sorry, wrong thread

I'm guessing that Eddie will be keeping to the old format of opening the shop on a Sunday for five minutes? The new website looks more like a 'conventional' click and buy when you want format or is that just my wishful thinking?
I plan to open this Sunday (24th) but there won't be any Everests, it's now mid-February for those.

did the everests go live today? understand stock not in yet....... snow caught me off guard!
How quickly did 300 pieces sell today?
Congrats to those who scored their favorite piece(s) today and best of luck next time for those who didn't. It took me a few attempts to get the Baby Dreadnaught. And I will definitely try my luck for the black 36 mm Smith Everest.
Let's just hope none of todays pieces shows up on eBay at a premium.
I picked up the Baby Willard and will get the next Everest

wait what? the shop was open last night?
i didn't get any email from Eddie that the site will be open on 24th to place order? does that mean the new 36mm prs-25 is all gone again? so annoyed missed the sept batch and this one too :(
You guys not getting the email notification might want to re-register or do on a second address - was in my inbox on Friday afternoon virtually 48 hours prior to the event today
i've have just registered myself with the new website to receive future newsletter, but odd after registering i got the page to verified that im not a robot then after that it just go to the contact us page.
i didn't get any notification that i've registered successfully so not sure if it went through....thought?
