Congratulations on your sales success - and sorry to hear of your issues
It makes you wonder what will happen when the Navigator becomes available...

I expected as many as 400 orders today, it's now standing at 661. All the 36mm Everests are gone, the Expedition and white dial are almost gone and all the 40mm Everest are gone.
Looking at the RomanCart stock control (it's a joke), it appears that it accepted 69 more orders for the 36mm Everest than I have stock, 11 more 40mm Everest than I have stock and 8 more Air Ministry than I have stock. After I complained last time it happened, they said they had built in a feature which checked stock in real time before completing an order but that appears not to have worked. It will take me hours to extract and notify those orders for whom there is no stock.
It could take up to 40 days to ship all orders so please be patient.

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

Thanks for your hard work Eddie, I've had an elevated heart-rate since I woke up this morning - very exciting day.
God luck with all the orders.

Eddie, Tks for update. Any chance for another run of the 36 mm black Everest? I had mine in a cart but something went wrong at checkout and when I got back in again it was out of stock..

It is what it is.
Good luck sorting through everything.
Congratulations Eddie! Mad and great at the same time.
Maybe you should be placing the second order for the Navigator about now.
Is there any other brand around that is so sought after and so difficult to buy?!
I'll intern for you to fulfill your orders just so I could get mine through!! :(
Wow over 600 orders! That is amazing. Last time it was about 275 when the Baby series had just launched. To get more than double this time around is impressive.
Congrats on a successful sale day, Eddie. Though I sincerely hope I'm not one of the few who get bumped.
Well done Eddie

It was like being in at the kill for something that you really wanted on eBay.
I got through at 14.00 exactly & managed to order a Baby Dreadnought to go with my full size Dreadnought (PRS2)..at least I'm hoping that my order went through because I only received a confirmation email from Sage Pay, not one from Time Factors as well. If you don't get the latter does it mean that the order didn't go through?
Be pissed if thats the case as it says at the top of the Sage email that "your timefactors order has been successful"
Fingers crossed

I have a confirmation email from 14:02 so hopefully the order is fulfilled. Good luck to those who placed an order, especially those who ordered a model where the orders exceed supply.
Frustrating, but a testament to a much loved watch company.

I am hoping I made the cut. I received my first confirmation email for the Everest 36mm black dial at 14:10, but someone posted here in the forums at 14:15 that it was out of stock. If 25 were sold per minute, which is just my rough guess, I should be ok. If not, oh well. Best of luck to everyone, and thanks to Eddie as always!
Some shift Eddie. Good on ye. Appreciate it might take some time to get these out, but meantime it would be good to know if I made the cut for the 36 black Everest.

Congratulations Eddie, you're certainly flying at the moment.
What does it mean if I didn't get mail from Timefactors but did from sagepay about successful payment at 14:02?
Well that's a bit of a blow, I got both emails through (Sage & Timefactors) @ 14.02pm and have checked my bank and the funds have been withdrawn so I am hoping I was one of the lucky ones, with this being my first purchase from Eddie, I have always managed to miss the boat on previous sales.
So I'm guessing no news will be good news from Eddie, fingers crossed.
Hopefully you'll all be successful.
Try not to be rude if you're not one of the blessed.
You know EP is doing his best and hopefully you'll get what you want. Which is more than Mick Jagger did.
Don't just do something, sit there. - TNH
So Jagger went online at 2:15 as well then

Heheh...
I tried to get one... Khuraburi in their last sale and spend 46 seconds filling out a form and when I clicked "Proceed" they were sold out...
200 watches in less than a minute!
I did manage to get in a succesful order for a baby dreaddie tho :D And it looks like they weren't on the list Eddie wrote so looking forward to getting it!

Tremendous sales success, Eddie! Well deserved.
Well done Eddie sorry for the pain in the arse IT issue. Fingers crossed you can nail it quickly.

Congrats for the successful sale and fingers crossed for my black everest order to go through!
Congratulations Eddie, that's some achievement! Why do you stick with RomanCart though - and give yourself that kind of workload of shipping orders for 40 days solid, assuming you've just taken close to a £250k in one day surely there's margin to employ some help and upgrade your selling platform?
You obviously have your reasons, but I'm certain you'd have sold just as many if you added an extra £10 to your sale to cover the wages of some additional support.
Anyway, well done for keeping on delivering great products.
