Launch of the Smiths Vanguard PRS-32

**swanbourne** · 23rd May 2019, 18:00

Right, here's what's happening. The website will be updated and will open for ordering at 1500 hrs on Sunday 26 May 2019. I've chosen this time mainly for overseas customers although it's probably not very convenient for Australia and New Zealand ;-)

In the event of the watches selling out (I wish), it will take 2 weeks to ship them all and orders will be shipped strictly in the order that they were received so please don't start chasing me after 2 days. The website will remain closed until they are all shipped.

1500 GMT or BST?

**bambam** · 23rd May 2019, 19:35

Bugger - will in all likelihood be driving down the M4 at that time!

**blackal** · 23rd May 2019, 19:40

I can’t find anything on it???

Thanks!

(Mmm.... not sure about the styling of that one, TBH - looks a bit...... ‘clumsy’ )

**sweets** · 23rd May 2019, 21:34

I foresee much packaging time and many trips to the post office.
I hope the launch goes well, and have every confidence it will.

But this a watch forum and Eddie's customers are worldwide!

**colin t** · 23rd May 2019, 19:44

Thanks Eddie. Still keeping the price a surprise?

**Velorum** · 23rd May 2019, 19:45

It would nice to know the price beforehand so money can be juggled around if necessary

Never has happened and never will.

**snowman** · 24th May 2019, 08:49

I'm looking forward to seeing the details and (I imagine) more photos of this, but I suspect it won't be one I'll be buying.

Not least because I'll be underwater (or on a small rubber boat at best) when it's launched!

great watch and excellent price - well done 👍😎

**Suds** · 26th May 2019, 11:10

Nooooo, I can't make my mind up which colour - I keep changing my mind, every 20 minutes, now I'm none the wiser. : (

**oca9i** · 26th May 2019, 13:42

Hard to decide which one to choose... Black Or White !

**rhaykal** · 28th May 2019, 13:40

Eddie,
I know you are busy preparing shipments. Just a question, what is the clasp width? I'm debating picking up a standard fliplock clasp to put on the bracelet....Is it a straight 20mm bracelet or does it taper to 16 or 18mm?

Eddie,

Why are you wasting valuable time answering foolish, inane questions when you have more than 90 watches to ship?!!! Please ignore those questions, and even this post!

**Mr Curta** · 26th May 2019, 15:03

White.

**GraniteQuarry** · 26th May 2019, 15:03

Ditto.

**GraniteQuarry** · 26th May 2019, 15:04

White leading 28 sold against 9 black right now

**Velorum** · 26th May 2019, 15:06

Ordered a white one at 1502

**ralphy** · 26th May 2019, 15:07

I predict they're going to be snatched up.

**pacifichrono** · 26th May 2019, 15:08

BLACK!

Put order as 50 and the cart will show how many you actually get

**Jeremy67** · 26th May 2019, 15:04

Order placed for white, here's hoping it's one of the first 50.

**colin t** · 26th May 2019, 15:04

White for me too.

**Suds** · 26th May 2019, 15:10

Black for me - was thinking about one of each. ...

Ordered a couple of straps lol ;)

**hafle** · 26th May 2019, 15:20

It took my order for the white dial.

A little concerned about readability of the hands, but I think overall it pips the black.

**OldHooky** · 26th May 2019, 15:18

And now too late - all white dials have gone

You’re a star!

**oca9i** · 26th May 2019, 16:32

The order; Timefactor is now closed.

**Jeremy67** · 26th May 2019, 16:42

Does that mean the blacks have all gone too?

Yeah, mine's on the way- gotta stay home tomorrow!

**Faide** · 26th May 2019, 17:31

Congrats on the successful launch of the vanguard .
I guess to sort out the 3 extra sold you will cancel the last 3 order “by time stamp “?

Hope I still get mine .
And thanks for setting the launch time in the afternoon .

I haven't bought a watch, or anything for that matter as I was undergoing more work on my own ticker last Tuesday. Wife wouldn't even buy a car pre op!
I was worried this was to be released last Tuesday as it would have been a no from me, so a release today was great timing.
We are enjoying a holiday with my son up in Wylam, five to three saw three of us ready to buy a white one on mobile phones.
I think my son succeeded where we failed on two devices. Hopefully Eddie receives the email redirecting delivery to me!
Now time to buy that car and other stuff we have put off.

This was a bit of a worry- taking my Mum out for the day and visiting Dyrham Park with no mobile signal of note. It started raining so went to pub for late lunch and with a decent 4G signal on the phone, I was just in time for 3pm ordering and managed to order a white dial by 15:03 - job done!

Congratulations to Eddie for a successful launch!
