Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
Very nice - I want one.
Sorry if I’ve missed it but how many are coming on this delivery ?
Have you shipped mine yet, Eddie???
Looking very nice indeed, Mr P.
Just like the 'adult' one (sans GMT) and I do like the detail on the crown.

I have got one! Order confirmed from Timefactors.Originally Posted by nibby
went for one of these, wanted the original dreadnought but my weedy wrists would never have carried it off. This seems the perfect solution.
Quite excited, got my confirmation at 2 minutes past and seem to have a lowish order number. Fingers crossed the wait isn't too long.
How do you know it's a low(ish) order number? Mine is 8 digits (preceded by 2 letters) and I presume they don't reset each time the store reopens?
Just going by the other thread, the last 4 digits seem to be the current run. A few seem to have 19 hundred odd. Mine is low 2000
#2019 here. Got the dispatch email, but no tracking info yet. Got the notification yesterday, so I’m anxious. Got some Nick Mankey straps for the Dreadnought.
My order was confirmed last Sunday at 14:04, number 2068, it'll take as long as it takes, "patience is a virtue" as mum used to say.

2048, nothing yet...
Suweet. I like the bracelet.
Looks excellent 😎👍
Looks terrific ... would be my 13th diver, so I really need to clear the decks of a few if I'm going to go for this ... :)
Looks great - If I didn't already have a Voyager, this would be right up there on my 'to buy' list!

Beautiful watch with an awful minute hand :)
No, a USEFUL minute hand...

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
I have to agree with snowman - its a diver watch and an oversized minute hand is preferable IMHO
Does this have an iron dial to achieve the 20,000 A/m?
Yes, and you can see (in the drawing) it is 0.8mm thick, thicker than average, as part of the same requirement
Can we just compromise and say it’s awfully useful 😁
Yes we can.
THIN is the new BLACK
Just received an email from the courier to say my DN is due delivery tomorrow.
Now to hope this is correct and they turn up before or while I'm home for my extended lunch break; on a split shift, otherwise a wait to 21:00.

Got the dispatch notification for my Baby Dreadnought just after 15:00 today. Beyond excited!
My order number was '1993.
It's a matter of taste. To me it looks like an aftermarket for SKX mods.
But the case has beautiful shapes. The dial is also great, although it would be better without a date.
This is a smaller version of a classic released very early on; if you wanted to influence the design you would have needed to join the forum many many years ago. As it is, you're just insulting a beloved design, which won't get you very far.

I condemn myself!
Boy, take it easy. It's just a watch, and you treat my comment as if I insult your mother.
This forum is to share and exchange opinions, not only to flatter.
It's not a matter of Taste (which suggests you, alone, have it, while others don't), but I'll concede it's a matter of opinion.
The trouble is, you've approached it from the wrong angle - This is a tool watch, designed to do a job as effectively as it can.
Plenty of desk diver out there that will suit your taste better (I'm sure Timefactors themselves have some that would!), but this watch isn't designed to look good in the office or the bar, it's designed to be super clear at depth, it does that perfectly, day or night (with a bit of torchlight to fire up the lume).

It's my birthday on 4th August - if I can land one of these when the shop opens on 2nd August I will be very happy indeed!
Just wondering Eddie, do you have a favourite out of the three Babies? I know they're all your babies, and we're not meant to have favourites, but we all do, sort of, don't we? Which is yours?
It changes but I do give them all some wrist time. At the moment it's the Willard.

That's a good looking watch. I'm not a fan of plongeur hands at all, but I may have to get past that for this one.

Hi Folks, It’s my first post on TZUK today so be kind. I have got a baby dread-nowt on the way and wondered what screwdriver size I need to adjust the bracelet.
Ta, Ian
I had a bit of time to play with #13 this morning, so:
Best on bracelet (I really like this).
Excellent on Eulit black perlon.
Good on Time Factor's nato (mounted for single pass only).
Not so good on Barton canvas.
Pretty good lume.
I'm obviously not a photographer, but these may give some idea of this as being something of a strap monster...

Looks great, now where's my delivery email !!
Looks great on that black strap, which is awesome, as my daughter (who I bought it for) is currently "into black".
In the meantime, this beautiful, perfectly sized watch will remain in its case until she's old enough to wear it!

Is that a bead blasted case or brushed?
It's blasted.

Same, here. Too good value to not.
Ordered too

Another order here; had been trying to resist buying more watches with a home renovation project coming up next year but Eddies email reminder regard today's shop opening worked.
Fingers crossed ,I was really slow couldn’t remember memorable name and got locked out on 1st card and had to start again with another.
Although I've bought a few watches from Eddie before, this will be my first high demand release-day order. I got in fairly quickly (completed by 2 minutes past). Fingers crossed I made it onto the podium.
From those who've done this before, when do people normally hear if their order actually got accepted?
You will get a confirmation emailSent from my SM-G960U using TZ-UK mobile app
I got 2: one from Sagepay saying card accepted but payment not taken yet, then another from TF saying payment taken (both came through more or less instantly). So if the order has to be cancelled, you will never get that 2nd email?
