    Same here, that Security check takes about 10-15 seconds too long. Than tried to buy a bracelet, and was kicked out because there was something wrong with my addres. Mmmm…

    What’s the betting for the first one to appear on eBay then???

    I’m going Tuesday morning before noon haha…
    I think you’re probably correct. Listing already prepared no doubt.

    Unlucky this time around, got the watch in the cart, entered my card details etc. click pay...showed up as sold out. Try again at the next opening if the Honeycomb is on sale again, there is always ebay, I'm sure the first ones will be showing up online by the end of the week.

    I find it strange there’s not the normal comments on here with people saying what order number they have etc etc.
    Makes me think they’ve mostly gone off forum and to the eBay crowd…

    Time will tell I suppose…

    I guess it's just pot luck because surely the payment methods are the same for everyone.

    This may the same as previously mentioned or could be another Honeycomb Everest popping up on ebay...

    Although eBay shows the seller's location as Ann Arbor, we haven't shipped a honeycomb to Ann Arbor and I'm struggling to identify them.

    I love how the indices look almost apple due to the way they're raised off the honeycomb pattern, but still very obviously painted which retains that vintage charm, small detail but may have swayed me into thinking maybe I do need two Everests after all...

    I like the way the raised indexes look too. And that guy knows how to colour match watch and shirt

    Gorgeous watch! I am hoping to receive shipping notification soon. How does it look next to the black Everest?

    Agreed, impossible to buy one. Tried to get a PRS-25 at each opening this year, but was a few seconds too late because of the creditcard bankcheck.
    Perhaps it would help if all 200 orders were Honeycomb’s next time.

    My frustration as well, I’m wondering if buyers outside the UK have to do these checks so they are finding it easier and faster to obtain these, I certainly could not have done anything quicker the other day when I tried yet when I finally got my text from Nationwide and entered it they were sold out.

    It’s the first release I can remember where there is barely anyone on here telling people their order numbers etc etc, that’s why I’m thinking a lot have gone off forum.

    The only ones I am seeing mentioning they have one are outside of the UK it seems?

    Slight digression - Fogar pointed out how well you colour matched the watch/shirt and I agree! Any chance you can share where the flannel is from? Can always use more brown plaid in my wardrobe and the pattern on that is lovely

    I have bought several watches from Timefactors so far and the time you have to place an order is becoming smaller and smaller over time. Right now, with the small number of watches available for each opening and the faster web store you have around a minute. That leaves no time for anything apart from auto-filling your credit card and approving the purchase via mobile app, with no room for entering verification codes.

    Unfortunately, this process favours scalpers as they have all the skills needed in their toolbelt

    I am from outside the UK, The Netherlands to be precise. And have a creditcard from ING, and yes, have this verificationcheck in the ING-app on my iPhone.

    The 36mm Everest is already a TF classic but dare I say this might be a classic of classics?

    Again, no PRS-25 for me. I tried to buy it at each opening this year. Too bad. The double check on the CC takes too long.
    I hope next opening has 200 Everest’s, but I am afraid they are all sold out now.

    Trying mine on a green ostrich leg strap, which was the only 20mm strap I had around. Got a couple more straps in the mail to test out in more regular colors, brown and grey and such. I'm sure another production run will come for this model, it's very handsome. It's got me debating whether I should get the Commando after having no mechanical watches in years!

    Looks like the Honeycomb is all sold out for now, more availability later on this year according to the website....I'll try again then I think, maybe get lucky.
