Sorry. That order will be canceled because official sale has begun at 1500. :DOriginally Posted by Spy
So that's an unofficial order and it will NOT be accepted. :lol:
I'm not as think as you drunk I am.

3:02 here. Hope it's enough...
I think my order went through :D :D :D :D
Got one about 5 mins ago! (I think!)
:D
It's been a long time since I last posted! :) (Too many shiny things)
But this really was special. I missed out the first time round. Hopefully not this time. :D
Thanks

Mike, don't depress me mate :( !!Sorry. That order will be canceled because official sale has begun at 1500. :D

As far as I am concerned, the site signalled the official starting gun when it stopped saying closed and took me to the purchase page :wink:
You'll be fine - one of the first orders I'd say 8)Mike, don't depress me mate :( !!Sorry. That order will be canceled because official sale has begun at 1500. :D

Just kidding of course. I'm really curious who was first :-)
I'm not as think as you drunk I am.
Hmm - I couldn't get the credit card payment to work. :( My order has been received, we'll have to see if I'm on the lucky list!
Eddie or whoever is processing the order must be exhausted by now :homework:

Eddie......? :scratch:
Now it says ''Sold Out'' :shock:
That will be interesting, I would have thought if you have an order confirmation then Eddie or his brother may just call you to confirm payment details.
Good luck anyway
Impressive. 25 minutes from Go to Gone.
Absolutely STEAMING angry! :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:
I clicked 'Add to basket' within TWO seconds of the site coming on line and it just clicked to this page. I tried continuously for the next 15 minutes just getting the same.
Did you refresh the page each time? If not I'm afraid you were wasting your time.Absolutely STEAMING angry! :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

So that is about one sold every 3.72 seconds! :toothy7:

It sounds like you were seeing a page cached on your PC. Did you hit F5 to force a refresh ?
Pete
I set my watch - a quartz Luminox - at timeanddate.com before I left for work this evening. By my reckoning the site really did become active at exactly 1500hrs UK time, midnight in Sydney. That's when I clicked it, having clicked only about 15s before that.
I'm a very lucky watch nerd.

Yes I did, refreshed each time, clicked add to basket each time, each time the 'next page' was as per posted screenshot. I can handle missing out if I was beaten in the race but missing out this way simply sucks to the skies! :evil: I even tried to buy some Polywatch and THAT took me through to the next page ok and then ADD the SB3 on but that did not work either, just took me back to the posted screenshot. :cry: Well done to the guys who got one anyway.
I'm not sure what happened then. Bad luck. :(
Somebody is bound to flip though!
Thanks Chris, appreciated! :wink:

Oh my, that sucks BIG TIME :-(
Really, really sorry for you. And that is not meant to be sarcastic in any way :-(
I know you were waiting for it eagerly...
I'm not as think as you drunk I am.
Ok guys, it seems it was some computer 'glitch' on my side. I have clambered out of the pram, picked up the rattle and climbed back in now, so sorry for 'gobbing off' :roll:
No apology needed, we can imagine how you feel. :cry:
Hi Everyone!
This is my first post here. I have been reading the forum for quite some time now and I am one of the happy owners of the Speedbird III. :bounce:
Thank you Eddie to make this watch available to purchase, you really made my day! :)
Cheers,
Susanna
Ps. I am also wondering: who was the first one?
Hi Suzanna, welcome!
Servus Susanna and welcome.
Not a bad first post :)
A female? :shock: A lady? :shock: :shock:
Congrats! Eddie usually keeps number 1, I think. Let's see who gets the rest!
Yes, a lady. :) The watch is for my husband of course and he was so nervous if we could get in the first 50 that we both sat in front of the laptops from 3 pm and pushed the refresh button in every 20 seconds. :) Eddie said he will be shipping the watches on Wednesday, so there is a good chance we receive it this Friday. Can't wait.
Susanna
Thanks for the welcome Guys, I just saw the posts. :)
If he ships on Wednesday you may well have it on Thursday :)
Maybe, but UPS usually takes 2 days from the UK. It would depend on the time Eddie sends the watches out.
First of all, welcome! :lol:
So... you sat there with your husband, and you helped him buy a watch. I understand.
Just out of curiosity: How much would you happen to charge for your sister's phone number? :wink:
Guntram
:D God, you made me laugh! :D
Usually I buy all the watches and knives etc. for him. I don't know why other wifes got rolling eyes when the husbands buy something for themselves that makes them happy. Maybe because I love all these things too? :)
Susanna
Chatted with Eddie after I made my order. Seems he sold out in 5 minutes.
That's a turnover of approx £277K per hour, or £4.5K a minute :lol:
The project has been a while coming to fruition of course :wink:
Congratulations to Eddie for having a copper bottomed success on his hands :mrgreen:
Hi Susanna and very much welcome here. It was a nice thing you did for your husband if you ever let him wear it :D
Makes JK Rowling's £5 per minute seem paltry... ;)
Hi Rollon,
Well, it is too big for me, so he can have it. :)
Susanna
I had major troubles trying to place the order.
Had to switch from the extra-secure set up of my FireFox and start IE.
Hi Susanna, welcome !
You are a very understanding wife, your husband is a lucky man. I hope he enjoys the watch :)
I on the other hand will have to pretend its an old watch that I haven't worn in ages :wink:
Oh well. It does seem that every good thing I want happens on a Saturday which is always pre-booked for family stuff. Missed it. Now I'll wait for the wrist shots next week.
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:Makes JK Rowling's £5 per minute seem paltry... ;)
Hello and welcome Susanna! Can I say what a lucky man your husband must be! Seriously, I think it's good to see new names on the forum and being enthusiastic about Timefactors watches. It's a good thing that everyone got a fair crack at getting the SBIII - democratic rather than a waiting list.
It's amusing to see the stories on this and other threads about what members had to do to get the chance to order, usually involving avoiding the attention of the wife or going shopping. My strategy was high risk but it paid off. I gently persuaded the wife that the PRS14 she bought me last week to keep for my anniversary present would be a better watch to wear now, while the SBIII would be more of an extra special anniversary present. She was seduced by its beauty and went for it. So, we planned our Saturday activities around a critical 3pm appointment with a computer and a credit card.
So, for now, enjoying the PRS14 and looking forward to my anniversary (only 8 months away)!
Hi Everyone and thanks again for the warm welcome!
I was using internet explorer when purchasing the watch, I have Firefox as well but I never ordered anything on it so I thought the explorer will be the safe thing to go with. I was just praying that Vista won't froze for that 1 minute I could get the order done. :) I even memorized my credit card number so I don't even have to look when ordering and my husband stood behind me and checked everything while I was typing so it was a good team-work that payed off very well. :) We will make some pics and load them up once the watch arrives.
Greetings from sunny Vienna,
Susanna
