40 of the Air Ministry gone already in less than 2 hours. 20 of the black dial gone.

Hello
I just ordered a Ministry
That was a little uneasy i have to change 3 times my web browser as the sage pay page won't display in Firefox and waterfox and end in error.
At last chrome works.
@Eddie i can wait i have already one 39mm from the first batch
Nice! Awaiting 36mm Everest too.
I'm thinking of doing a WW2 RAF watch and naming it as a tribute to Guy Gibson's dog.

Your AM is similar to Omega 6b/159.
Maybe a Longines or Movado or JLC 6B/159 white dial? Or Weems?
I think it needs a black face.
Eddie,
You can hold off shipping mine until 27th if It'll help as I'm out of the country.
November India Golf Golf Echo Roger is a bit long for a watch dial surely Oh Fast One....

I'll give the US a bit longer to wake up and then I'll have to close ordering in an hour or so, I've now got over 100 watches to ship and a few strap orders.

If all the AM's go, what are the chances there will be another run of them? :-)
Every chance.

I’ll tell you what AM stands for, 1:30AM, that’s what.
Don't just do something, sit there. - TNH
If the proposed Gibson's dog watch is anything like the IWC mark X, you can take my money now!

It stood for 3:30AM for me. I thought they might sell out fast like Obris Morgan does. One to Michigan Eddie!
Nice company for my 2010 29b.
Feeling a bit knackered. ;)

Now that is funny!
Based on UPS, mine will be here tomorrow ...
How heavy is this watch....Shipping costs £32.00 ?!
Curious... what was the price for these?
The webpage doesn’t seem to say since the ordering was put on hold. Thanks!
£ 405 + shipment
When I was in Hungary the international shipping was a similar price - but I found out that it was the same if I ordered more than one watch so that was my excuse
(Please have some in next Tuesday !)
From the numbers Eddie you mentioned 100 watches to ship ? Is that 40 air ministry sold of 100 and 60 of the 200 black regulars ?

The minimum charge is 0.5kg but with the box, it volumes up to 1.0kg. £32 doesn't cover the actual cost, full price is around £70 but my discount brings it down to between £34 and £37 unles it's what UPS class as a "remote area". I shipped one to Western Australia today which was classed as a remote area and the surcharge took it up to £67 but I still only charged £32.
Check out courier rates and see what full price is.

Oh wow. Come home from work to find there's enough orders to warrant closing the website untill next Tuesday....
Good to see the new intakes going so well though.
Just got back home from traveling abroad and went straight to order.........found the orders are closed again, hope I have not missed out on the AM, must admit to being a bit disappointed
Thanks. The problem is when viewing on a phone that the right side where the prices are, is cut off. Maybe I need a phone the size of a meal tray
I can see prices if I rotate the phone horizontally... but normally held it is not visible (see below)

Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
Thanks if you look above you’ll see that I had clicked on it. The choices are in the bottom of the screen. Anyway I’m good now but maybe something to think about in the store interface.

Works just fine for me
Well done Eddie, almost ordered one today, but think I'm going to hold fire for the 36mm Everest.
Please, one day.. Recreate the Australian issued Deluxe..

Congrats Eddie on such a successful launch!
Ordered the AM for my wife, who - after years of listening to me waffling about watches has finally caught the bug!
Couldn't resist going for the black-dialled one also for myself!
Now the wait begins...........
Never bought from TF before. Do you get an email with tracking once shippef? Just want to make sure there will be someone home :)
You'll get a dispatch note emailed to you the day that it's being shipped.
It will be with you the following day.

Thanks senraw. Nothing worse than finding the red slip on the floor :D
That looks quite nice.
There's been at least 2 occasions when i've had watches delivered, i've missed the postman by <10 min and i've walked down the street looking for them.
They don't seem to mind
I've tomorrow off, in the kitchen on Thursday, and off early collecting a new car on Friday. So I'm anticipating Saturday at the sorting office before work at the earliest :(There's been at least 2 occasions when i've had watches delivered, i've missed the postman by <10 min and i've walked down the street looking for them.

Lucky punters all those who snagged them today . I’ll be ready next Tuesday with my starting blocks . In the meantime, I wonder who will be first to receive and post some everyday pictures of these two beauties ?

Got my shipping notification today but will be at work from 6am. Have told my wife that there might be a delivery tomorrow but haven’t disclosed that it is a watch for me.....she probably thinks that I’ve ordered something from amazon again
