It's certainly been a quick seller when I have them in stock but there's only been 137 in total so far. The Dreadnought was sold out before it was ready.Originally Posted by mr1973

Btw Eddie, is this your best selling watch ever now? Have you ever sold more watches in such a short period?
I'm not as think as you drunk I am.

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
It showed two detailed tracking lines before the exception.
It's on time for delivery so not the typical "exception" certainly.

138 and counting, surely... :wink: :)
I've had the same. Don't worry ;-)Originally Posted by specialEd

Received mine today after ordering on Tuesday somewhere in the evening! That was lightning fast :shock: Looks and feels great. :mrgreen: Sizing the bracelet will be rather difficult though as I donīt have the proper tools. Here? hoping my dad has them. Good luck to everyone still waiting!
My first post here to say thank you very very much Eddie. Ordered on Wednesday morning the watch - even with the number I've asked for - arrived in Germany today. In this context I'm surprised about the serial number of the second series beginning 0901... Does that mean January 2009?

Ordered 02.12.2008 19:04 CET, received 04.12.2008 15:06 CET.
The watch came in a zippered case with cutouts for two watches, including a
Speedbird strap, cleaning cloth, spring bar tool and guarantee card.
Eddie was also so kind as to fulfill my wish for a special serial number - thanks.
The watch is really well made and with the bracelet has a nice heft and balance.
It shall be my trusty companion for years to come.
I'm very satisfied.
Yes, the 0901 part of the serial number really does mean January 2009. It was touch and go whether they would arrive in December so I asked for a January 2009 serial number. I think this is the first time watches have been delivered ahead of schedule :wink: .Originally Posted by armin

Ah, again I am screwed by the massive incompetence at UPS.
Original arrival date: Dec. 5.
Rescheduled date: Dec. 8.
Of course, it's their fault it's delayed, so they will not make an extra effort to deliver on Saturday.Code:PHILADELPHIA, PA, US 12/04/2008 10:11 P.M.

Mine arrived today after ordering it on Wednesday morning. The watch is lovely and the service superb, thanks Eddie.
Off to take s a few photos.

Well mine arrived yesterday after ordering late Tuesday. This is what I would term as my first 'real' watch. I've had a Zeitner commando on my wrist for around 10 years :shock:
I've been searching long and hard for 2 months for a quality watch. I dabbled with the idea of a Stowa for a while, then went beyond my budget looking at Sinns. Fantastic watches those. But given the specs and the bracelet of the SBIII I just couldn't say no to it. I am so glad I did!
I wanted to say thanks to Eddie for providing a great watch, it's so much better than I thought it would be, basically it's my dream watch!
I can safely say this is definitely not my final purchase from Timefactors.
Out of stock :Speedbird III automatic wristwatch - PRS-22
Indeed, it's a popular watch!!
Argh. Missed it. Again.
Ok, here goes. Given the apparent issues of obtaining movements, do you think you will get a restock in dec-january? Or will the wait be longer for us poor slow buggers who can't press "add to cart" fast enough....
It should be available again from tomorrow.

Good news then, and thanks for the quick reply!
