    I sincerely hope you are joking.

    I think each watch has a “quota” so it is possible.

    I know, I know..... I tried, but this interface is a challenge to us seniors. I used a Galaxy 9 and the photos are 3.8 & 3.7 MB - is the limit 2MB?

    What was your order number if I may ask?

    I'm sat eagerly awaiting my email also but I feel it may be a long way off yet.

    This is why I don't pick lottery numbers! #2256 here, I guess they aren't going in order necessarily.

    I split the orders into international and domestic and ship an equal number from each pile each day. International are currently at a higher order number than domestic. Each pile is shipped strictly in order number order.

    Order 2230, PRS40, arrived today! Super fast shipping from the UK to the Las Vegas area. Love it. Tried to post a photo but every time I upload a simple jpg it it turns in to a question mark. Following the exact same procedure as I do on WUS.

    So many excited buyers, and no one can take a picture of black everest? It's ridiculous.

    Cool, great service.

    2171 hasn't managed to get to a Scottish mainland address yet. Think the gods seem determined that I don't get a Smiths Expedition. (Usually when I say something like this it happens)

    Finally!

    I can see that the hour hand has been enlarged but the others appear to be the same, were there supposed to be other changes?

    The elation: Got my Aerotimer this morning!

    The devastation: I can't find my Bergeon screwdriver to adjust the bracelet!

    I believe the pip on the seconds hand has moved closer to the center pivot. If you look at the original the pip overlapped the numbers and long hour markers but on the new one it does not. Other than that I am at an impass to see any other differences, but it really doesn't matter to me because it is a thing of beauty.

    The minute hand seems to be a bit shorter.

    Unless it's my maths, that's a lot more than 267 orders! Eagerly checking updates on this thread as the fulfilled orders get closer to #2466, which seems to be the 311th. My first Timefactors watch :-)

    The numbers are allocated by Romancart and are issue in sequence to all their dealers.

    Ah this makes so much sense now, thanks for the clarification.

    I think there is just a lot of eager customers (including myself) trying to figure out where in the order queue they are so they can work out when they are likely to receive their watch.

    That is most certainly true! But let’s not forget the purpose of the original post :
