Cue server crash on day of release
Look forward to the battle!
I'm also getting a lot of e-mails asking for specific numbers. There is no list and I'm not accepting pre-orders. I don't know how to do it yet but with an initial release of only 100 pieces, it's bound to be chaos.

Price estimate?
What about a scheme whereby slots are pre-sold to 100 lucky people. Let's call them, say, "plankholders." Instead of actually getting on and producing the watch you could provide meaningless updates periodically for a few years while assuring everyone that each watch is being painstakingly individually assembled over a period of several months by one gnome. Oh wait, hang on....
The allocation needs to be done in a fair and transparent manner, with first choice given via high post count, and in descending order from there.
F.T.F.A.
Alphabetical order sounds good, just call me Aaron Aardvark.
What's the estimated price?
Only 37 commitments so far.
There is a small chance that it might not sell out.
Nothing wrong with pre-ordering it gives the vendor a statement of intent as to what will sell which is far better then not guaging the market, I see no difference between a pre-order system and a mad rush when released, the mad rush could be messy and disadvantages those who miss out through other commitments.

Well in for a penny in for a pound as they say. Xmas will have to wait until March 2013!! I'm in if a list exists.
I think the fairest way to do this would be-the nearer you live to Eddies house the higher your priority on release date.
Simple and fair!
I might go straight to eBay with this one

Looks absolutely great Eddie,
Obviously, I'll be hoping to purchase one of these beauties - any number will do and given that you're not taking pre-bookings it's going to be an anxious wait on the release day. Fingers crossed.

Depending on price, moment of release and if lucky enough to be able to "add to basket" I am in.
I can use a beater GMT ;)
Just in case you relent and do a list then I'll take one please -any number will be fine.
Yes please - now the huge gamble is whether I am able to be online when the shop opens - and I don't care what number! The good news is that fund is well filled.
This is not an "official" list but just a summary of the posts so far.

I don't know how to do it yet ...
Perhaps the original 200 DN purchases (who are still alive) could be given first choice ...
solely to avoid the chaos of course.
I wonder if there's anything to the serial number in the render...
13020001 suggests Feb '13 for the date of manufacture which gives us time after Christmas to save/make space
Argh I can't take it any more... I know it's not an official list but if by some miracle we get a choice I'd like #30

Any number please, can´t wait to get into the battle ;-)
I'd dearly like no. 72.
I'm sure Eddie will come up with some fair process to allocate. A simple draw from those who register definite interest perhaps?
I think Eddie always takes 001.
Tony might have to have 002!
I'd have 26 but its all academic as there is no list or pre-order...
I think preferences should be given to those with the highest number of tf watches in their collection ;-)
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
Ah, but it's an office GMT isn't it? Rather than a traveller's GMT?
Be nice to see some new Dreads for sale, though. Very interested to see the price of this one, given a) the ridiculous value for money of the first, b) the price that that have been shifting at, and c) the increases in the costs of movements, manufacturing, etc.
I want a Dreadnought too, can you write me on the list?
Thanks
Best regards from Germany

Please contact me for payment
Cheers

It looks fantastic, I really like the Voyager text and orange GMT hand.
Are you thinking of sending out a news letter with an update on the new models?
17 would me my choice, but another member got there first. So number 4 would be nice....................................... oh wait, there's no pre order.
In that case then, I'd just be happy to own one.
We live in hope.
Please put me down - if there are numbers to be had, I'd like #48, but frankly, who cares?
I've been waiting a while.
Nice. I recall from a previous thread on this one that it was expected to be slightly thinner than the original - what are the overall final dimensions? I will definitely be in the scrum when they're released.
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!

I am new here and am humbly requesting to be put on the list for #12 if available, but any number will be perfect. As others have mentioned, I am here thanks to posts on OceanicTime and WUS regarding the Dreadnought GMT Voyager. Thanks and greets from Amsterdam
I'll have one, and I don't care about the number.
Cheers Simon
Book me in! , even if it is a virtual list, ill take any number..even 13!
Wow, i must have the new GMT Dreadnaught! #79 would be nice, or any other free number!
