Hi Eddie, hope all is well and have had a good Christmas and New Year!
I was wondering what your estimated opening date for the shop is this year? Dying to get an order in for the 'Baby' Willard!!
Many thanks,

I need a fireproof pocket until then...
Can't wait for the fun to begin! I set more alarms for the shop opening than I do to wake up in the morning.
What's it like ordering on the website? I've only purchased one everest and that was secondhand.
I was eagerly waiting for the shop to open but with all the brexit things going on I'm having second thoughts since I'm a different country. I really wish I had ordered a prs-40 months ago.
Best advice is to get your order in as close to the opening time as possible; set a few alarms :smile-new:Quote:

Does it tend to open up at good times for people in the UK? Based in California I’ll have to plan more odd hours if that’s the case.Quote:

I’m often put off from buying say from America due to getting hit with customs and now we have this in Europe. I can always send it to a family member in the UK but it’s not ideal.
Is the news letter something you subscribe to via the website? I though I read mid January somewhere that's pretty close now.

Well as of now I guess I cannot expect any emails. Second time I subscribed was during the order proces in sept. 2020. At least that's how I remember it. I thought Let's tick that box since I haden't received anything then. But even after ordering I never got any mail. Perhaps I'm too stupid to subscribe but yah. I will probably never find out way it didn't work twice.
I will say that I found out about the ordering date from this forum first, but a couple of days before the store opened I DID receive an email. I managed to not spend all of my money this go around and signed up for an email for January. I believe it will be either the Expedition or the PRS-36. Ciao! BTW, is London now on ZULU time?
Thanks Redhead. I've subscribed so lets see how it goes. The last time I tried to place an order in December I could even get the site to load on my computer at 1355 and it was closed again a few minutes past 1400. Fingers crossed.

Any kind of solid date on the release yet? Desperate to get my hands on an everest.

I got my Everest second (third?) hand on another watch forum. It’s doable without a huge premium. I think the 36 mm is actually commanding a higher secondary value than the 40 mm that I got.Quote:

I never made a dime selling my watches and I wouldn’t ever part with the one Rolex sub I’ve purchased.
There's never been any VAT on the prices on my website.Quote:

I guess I will find out soon when you open the store - I just can’t resist buying Baby Willard.
I'm guessing that Eddie will be keeping to the old format of opening the shop on a Sunday for five minutes? The new website looks more like a 'conventional' click and buy when you want format or is that just my wishful thinking?
I plan to open this Sunday (24th) but there won't be any Everests, it's now mid-February for those.
Eddie
Thanks for the update Eddie,
Do you have a 'service partner' or recommended watch repairer?
My PRS 29 a (acrylic version) has stopped and I guess needs a service.
It may have been the shock of the Navigator arriving in the collection ;)

Did you get yours with the early bird kickstarter discount. 900 squirrels sounds a little expensive.
A nice looking with though.

Turns out this wasn't the case. Miraculously I got the announcement a couple of days ago. Good to know!Quote:

Congrats to those who scored their favorite piece(s) today and best of luck next time for those who didn't. It took me a few attempts to get the Baby Dreadnaught. And I will definitely try my luck for the black 36 mm Smith Everest.
Let's just hope none of todays pieces shows up on eBay at a premium.
I picked up the Baby Willard and will get the next Everest

wait what? the shop was open last night?
i didn't get any email from Eddie that the site will be open on 24th to place order? does that mean the new 36mm prs-25 is all gone again? so annoyed missed the sept batch and this one too :(
No - the Everest’s are due in February see post #35 in this thread....Quote:
