    Well that was intense.

    Just put an order in, page running slow, timing out. Finally got watch in basket, filled out the forms. 1 minute passed 2, order failed. Aaarrggh,,, quickly back to watch , put in basket, forms done, and order success!!!! @3 mins passed.
    Straight to my other product, add to basket............. Shop closed.

    Great fun,,, looking forward to doing it all again I'm 3 weeks.

    Chris.

    Likewise error message on pressing the cart button but the computer did a little buffer and I got to the order page.

    Hope you're successful with the other order next time.

    Whew I got one. The store wasn't open long. You know there were a lot of us trying to get them. I wonder how many sold.

    Got my order of black dialed Navigator at 1401 UK time. I knew it would be a short window but got info in and everything went right through, didn't even have to get a confirm my identity text code. Can't wait for my shipment info this coming week. Sorry to all that couldn't get in.

    Managed to get to input address page twice, but both times error message. Usually charge USD1 a word for commercial work, but will waive the charge this time, Eddie (not a bribe ;) See' y'all in three weeks for another go!

    I wanted to take not more than 300 orders so that I could open on 29 November. In the knowledge that orders continue to trickle through after ordering is closed, I closed ordering when it reached 200. In the event, the final figure is 356 orders which is going to present a problem gong forward.

    Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".

    That sounds intensely stressful for you :(

    Are you doing this manually? You really need new shop software. The whole process should be automated away.
    Romancart doesn't seem to be working whatsoever.

    Hopefully it won't stress you out too much Eddie.

    Fingers crossed my order will be fulfilled as it's a 40th birthday gift for my brother on the 12th.

    The one I missed is for a Christmas present for my dad so can try again for that one at the next opening.

    Chris.

    Wow Eddie, that's really intense. To echo those above, it seems like you need some software that will close it automatically. Or a helper, I'm sure a lot of people here would work for a watch!

    Again, as was said above, you can do what you can do. Don't stress it.

    I ran into the Visa authorization Lufbery but got a Sage Pay confirmation anyway.

    So not really certain if that is the thrill of victory...or the agony of defeat.

    Ditto here, confirmation time 1401 UK time. Where in the US are you, I am from the mid-Michigan are. Hope you enjoy your Navigator. Did you get the black or white dialed version. I chose the black dialed. Enjoy. Brian

    I tried too, but no luck. Guess I will keep an eye out for the Mk IV with the new tubes.

    Its been said before , but well done Eddie for cultivating such a feeding frenzy for some knock out watches. Apple would be proud of you for orchestrating one of their new product launches.

    Wanted to buy an Everest for my 30th birthday, but no luck. Hopefully I'll get more lucky in the new year, when the restock comes.

    I think it will be 1-2 weeks, minimum (expectations management ;)
