[mylofitz]

I'll have one, don't care the number.

[cristi001]

I soooo want one! This will (hopefully) be my first Timefactors watch. Number 100 please, or whatever number is available.

[100thmonkey]

Id like number 11 please , Thanks

[amh82]

Excellent, wasn't around when the PRS-2 first came about, but would love one of these.

If possible please put me down for one, not overfussed on a specific number, but if we can choose then it would have to be 82 for me please :)

[scarto]

Looks great...I'm in! No. 10 if at all possible please.

[awo]

Me too! Want! Whichever number is left, I'll take it!

[Dave+63]

Alphabetical order sounds good, just call me Aaron Aardvark.

[o u t a t i m e]

What's the estimated price?

[f1prb22]

Only 37 commitments so far.
There is a small chance that it might not sell out.

[Ryno]

Very interested! If this turns out to be the official "first dibs" list, I would love to purchase one. Any number is fine for me.

Please add me to the unofficial list if possible!

I heard about the new Dreadnaught and this thread via OceanicTime (via a friend).

I am new here, but my user is "farroki" on TZ, WUS, PMWF, etc.

Thanks!

Ryan

[Lammylee]

Book me in! , even if it is a virtual list, ill take any number..even 13!

[danilo]

Could I lock in number 86 please

Nice pleasant surprise to see this on oceanictime

[markrlondon]

It's amazing how many of us, myself included, will stake a claim despite knowing that Eddie isn't running a pre-order list. Why do we do it? Fear of missing out just in case I guess. ;-)

[athen]

News fantasitca, I'd settle for number 71.

[DEMO]

Hey Guys, I'm new here to TZ-UK but some of you might recognize me from WUS and some of the other forums.

I missed out on the original Dreadnought and I really don't want to miss out on this GMT version. Nice work Eddie. If a preorder ever starts I am definitely interested, Please count me in!

Thanks,

-Dave

[Dave+63]

Apart from the interest expressed on the forum, I've received many e-mails from customers who read the forum but do not participate. Some numbers have been requested 3 or 4 times, how can I be seen to be fair when allocating numbers?

Eddie

I think the best way is to sort out the 99 people who are going to get one of the watches in whatever way you deem fairest and then see which numbers have been requested. Clearly those numbers which have only been requested once are not a problem so then it's just a case of determining who gets which number that has been requested more than once and alternative numbers offered to those that miss out on their preferred number. You could then have a reserve list in case anyone doesn't doesn't want to take that number offered.

[Dave+63]

Perhaps I should take them straight to eBay and maximise my profit? Everybody who bought a PRS-2 and then sold it made much more than I did.

Eddie

Well there's a whole load of people to be taken off the list!

You could "lease" the watches to everybody to ensure that they can't be resold until a set time has elapsed when the ownership can be transferred to the lessee.

Or am I just complicating things still further??

[fiddler69]

That thought had occurred to me too but probably too complex to administer. I detect a slight suspicion that at least some of those expressing interest may have lurking somewhere within their otherwise spotless minds the knowledge of the inflated prices the original PRS2 limited edition ended up fetching on resale. That, added to the fact Eddie currently only has 100 movements available for the Voyager could make this watch tempting to some for reasons that go beyond a pure admiration for the evolution of an iconic design. Or maybe I'm wrong. In any event, that is why it would be tempting to try to enforce a resale embargo of 12 months, during which Eddie could hopefully source another 500 movements, to reinforce Eddie's previously stated intention that this would not be a limited edition.

That said, the best answer is probably the traditional Timefactors launch scrum, with the promise (if possible) of many more Voyagers to follow.

[Finkaudio]

....of course. Looks like no.11 is gone already, but I can use any other no. as well.


I should look into the forum more often, I'm afraid

Best KH

[magirus]

To recap then. There is no watch reservation list, there is no serial number reservation list, and Mr Flatts will administer the sale of said watches as he sees fit. Que sera, sera.......

[amcneill]

as eddie has already stated - there is no reservation list officially/unofficially which he acknowledges especially as certain numbers have been allocated more than once.how he is going to go about this i have no idea.so why are people still posting what number they want?.waiting patiently to see what happens.....

[Lammylee]

I think to make it fair Eddie should issue numbered tickets and then hijack the national lottery at gunpoint and get the camp presenter to read out the winning numbers on live tv!

[Lammylee]

Maybe they could be supplied without numbers to ease Eddies headache ! ;-)

[GS Overland]

I might have missed something. But do we know what movement is going to power the DN gmt yet???.

[Omi]

Maybe they could be supplied without numbers to ease Eddies headache ! ;-)

Aha, mystery numbers and then charge for a tool that would show the number once you purchase the tool!

[Denizen]

pre-order reservation w/deposit sounds fairest. that way you don't get a mad scramble on order day with people trying to hit the site and people not knowing or not if their order went thru like what happen with the speedbird LE.
.

i'll take whatever number is available.

as for those who are asking what the price is/will be... [spoken in a lofty Selfridges tone], "If you have to ask, you probably can't afford it". :-)

[seikopath]

scratchcard casebacks? i like that

[bambam]

Just noticed the clock on the forum and thought - bugger me, how did I miss that!!??

Anyway, would love one of these.

Any idea of price yet?

Cheers

[SeikoSickness]

That clock is such a tease!!!!

[f1prb22]

I actually like and support this idea, since its intended to be an unlimited version.

[Joe.K]

Is the no.31 gone? I would really love one of these (frankly don't care what no. that much) just can't wait to see them!
Cheers
Joe

[super swin]

anything from 1-100 will do!

[mrpgkennedy]

any number will be fine, i just want one

[trisdg]

I might have missed something. But do we know what movement is going to power the DN gmt yet???.

Just wondering the same thing myself.

[trisdg]

... which Eddie could hopefully source another 500 movements, to reinforce Eddie's previously stated intention that this would not be a limited edition.

Was this a recent statement? If so, I missed it.

[benmac]

Why can't they go to people who have purchased from him before? They would still be all accounted for several times over and it would reduce the amount of people buying with a view to flipping them for a quick return.

[Abe Gethin]

I think that Eddie stated that it´s both not an LE but that he´s only got 100 movements currently and he´s not sure when more can be sourced....sort´ve makes it an LE doesnt´it?

For those of us who don't manage to get one of the first 99, how about we buy another new watch with a 2893-2 movement and send it to Eddie so he can use it to build a Dreadnought Voyager!

We could call it the Dreadnought Donor Watch Scheme :-)

That's pretty funny

[Gurmot]

Unless Eddie has sold out to Richemont one thing you can guarantee is that the price will be as reasonable as all the others and not affected by the potential demand, I think the word is 'Integrity' a lesser spotted value in todays society

Eddie gets to keep his integrity by selling below the market value? What does this say about the integrity of those who sell on for a profit?
