    Three hundred and twenty five notes? C'mon, Eddie - what's the real price? :)

    Re: I think the dial is OK now

    Did anyone notice the spec on the page says the crystal is a domed ACRYLIC?

    Typo, or change in spec?

    I think it's a typo:



    I'd hate to think Eddie would have to send them back again to get the info on the caseback corrected. :wink:

    That's a good price. Hope the GBP exchange rate stays low during the next few days.

    Small print at the bottom of the ad says "supplied with a Speedbird NATO" - even bigger bargain at £325 if it comes with the bracelet plus the Nato! - only problem is that I bought a Speedbird Nato last month in anticipation....

    This is going to be a disaster.. There will be a month's worth of "if I only hadn't had that curry or a laptop in the bathroom" posts all-around once the site is back online and everyone's had a change of fresh pants :shock:

    I hope there's millisecond timestamps on those order logs.. Can I get 100ms off for living in a country where it's so cold that light freezes in our fiber-optic backbones?

    Phew !!

    It appears the crystal description was a typo !

    It has been updated and now reads:
    "Domed sapphire with anti-reflective on underside" 8)

    The crystal description has been fixed but it appears it is still coming with a nato strap despite the photo showing a stainless steel strap. This could be a little misleading for those who don't read every word - unlike us !

    The suspense is awesome, more so as the big imponderable is trying to guess roughly how many are in the traps awaiting the hare! Could it be 3? 5? 8? ....................8) 8) 8)

    I hope it is only 3,5 or 8 in the traps. As long as it is not 51 !

    I fully expect Eddie to sell close to 100 in the first day, well over 50 in the first few minutes if he begins the sale during the day rather than three-thirty in the morning...

    If you read the table of specifications, you will see that it will be supplied on a stainless steel bracelet. The Speedbird NATO is a freebie.

    I fear I'm stuffed if it goes on sale today - I'm in a meeting from midday to 3pm and so off-line... :(

    Oh well, we shall see...

    You know, guys... this must be getting tedious for you. I suggest you email me your credit card number, and I'll put the orders in for you when the watch is available. How's that for a constructive idea? :wink:

    I'm relieved to hear that. Yesterday afternoon, having just touched down, I raced out of the helo into the ops room to log on, as it was just about to tick over to 0800h in the UK. The rest of the crew were sympathetic.
