    267 orders in 20 minutes

    Goodness knows how long they will take to ship, please be patient.

    Patience

    Hi

    It's okay when 'Rivet bracelet for 36mm Smith Everest' to Germany D-28844 takes last place of the current shipping list. There's no hurry.

    cheers

    I'm not surprised by the business, people will be reconsidered buying expensive watches and going for things which are more affordable but which have just as much quality.

    That is great news. Just shows the demand out there for Eddie's watches. Even with 267 orders in, I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who missed it.

    Good work.

    Congratulations, Eddie. I hope your health is now up to the task.

    Any way you can hire a few high school/university kids on hiatus to help with the more tedious work?

    I'm not sure about 267 orders in 20 mins being a tz-uk record, but making 10 posts in just under 17 years takes some beating.

    Not sure how many PRS-40s are in those 267 orders, but I know there's at least one and it'll be my first TF watch. Looking forward to taking it for a spin, I've seen the quartz version that belongs to a friend who pointed me in this direction.

    This isn't a good time for UPS online shipping to be acting up.

    We all need our fix, even in tough times. Good chance for people to explore makes outside of their usual. Also an element of opening the floodgates to orders to people who were waiting for them to open.

    So happy my order went through

    After some Nato straps (those are just brilliant), I just ordered my first Smiths (PRS-40) and am already planning on adding a PRS-32W. I had the browser open on three devices and three different networks … ;-)

    Hopefully I'm in for an Expedition this time. I wasted time by shopping for some straps too, then got nervous and submitted my order without 2 of the straps I wanted

    Would be interesting to see how that would pan out if open on a daily basis.

    Ah, there was at least one other PRS-40 in the pile of orders! Hope you enjoy yours when you get it, mine should hopefully be here tomorrow...

    I think Eddie would be singing that oh so familiar song "Bony Fingers", if you know what I mean. Hats off to Eddie after all he has been through and still working on new watch designs that we will line up in the on-line que waiting for the store to open, I think all can attest to this.

    Yeah but got my order in at 14:05. Site was chugging like hell due to the battering it was undoubtedly enduring!

    My order would have been in that early. 'Cept for the "fraud prevention" interventions from my credit cards (both of 'em) that took about 10 minutes to navigate through. International purchases really are getting to be quite a chore.

    Yes, I ordered within 5-6 mins since the store opened, got the shipping notice yesterday morning and the parcel is to be delivered by EOD today That's for the delivery in the EU, maybe I'm just lucky.

    What did you purchase though, I know Eddie was expecting some stock either today or yesterday so some orders may not be ready to dispatch for sometime....not to mention the fact he has over 200 to get through!

    I've printed your invoice and it will be packed to go out tomorrow. It would have gone today but UPS collected early.

    Oh boy I’m 2312, I guess that means I will get my shipping notification next week. Hopefully I still get the watch this time. Last time I got my order in at 14:04 but still too late as the batch was filled before that and Eddie needed to cancel my order.
