Re: Codek Spiral - official MOT watch?
Seriously glad the white is sold out.
Came THIS close to pulling the trigger on one.
That was a hard deal to resist, but percerviered.
Really love the watch, but don't need it in another colorway.

I think I got the last one, on cordovan burgundy. Glad I could help you resist:)

Re: Codek Spiral - official MOT watch?
OK I joined the fray and ordered one last night--blue with burgandy cordovan for $130. Insane! Thanks to quincas, et al for the heads-up yesterday. I feel a little guilty--this price MUST be below cost. Hope we'll be seeing more from Codek in the future. I think these will be sought-after when they're gone.

Re: Codek Spiral - official MOT watch?
I jumped on the same combo too! Was torn between white and blue dial, but I’ve got a penchant for blue. Wife may kill me as I’ve had ~6 watches come in over the last month.Klaatu3 wrote:OK I joined the fray and ordered one last night--blue with burgandy cordovan for $130. Insane!

Shoutout to @quincas and the rest of the MoT crew who posted and discussed the deal.

Re: Codek Spiral - official MOT watch?
Looks like I won't be getting this. The white dial was oversold by 4 units and I'm one of the unlucky four. I may still be able to get a blue dial but I'm not certain. If I do, I'm hoping I can still get it with shell cordovan but it is sounding less likely that any strap options are available. I'm a little disappointed as I had my mind made up decisively in favor of white over blue but I'm hopeful I can still get a watch.yinzburgher wrote: ↑Tue Sep 10, 2019 10:01 pm Opaline white dial with a burgundy shell cordovan strap incoming!

Re: Codek Spiral - official MOT watch?
I’m thinking a few folks on this forum may be open to a swap or on the Missed Bargain Second Chance thread. I’m already feeling as though I should have gone with the white dial...yinzburgher wrote:Looks like I won't be getting this. The white dial was oversold by 4 units and I'm one of the unlucky four.

Re: Codek Spiral - official MOT watch?
Does look to have taken a lot of cues from that vintage AP.
Not sure if that bothers anyone, but certainly isn't an issue for me.

Re: Codek Spiral - official MOT watch?
Just saw this posted in the Codek shop for all the folks who've taken advantage of the latest fire sale:
NOTICE: Orders placed on September 10 or later may have a later ship date. A batch of watches is getting regulated by the watchmaker, so the estimated ship date for these orders is September 18. All Sales Are Final.

Re: Codek Spiral - official MOT watch?
OK, it seems I should be getting a midnight blue on a black shell cordovan strap. This would not have been my first choice but I don't dislike the blue by any means and I'm sure I'll be able to find a strap to go with the watch. Also, it is only $130! And it is tough to turn down a Hadley Roma shell cordovan strap for $20 when you consider you can buy this watch head/case only for $110. I can foresee maybe keeping the black strap, wearing and enjoying this watch for a while and then moving it along. If anyone out there with a white dial would prefer the blue, send a message. I would probably be interested in a trade.yinzburgher wrote: ↑Wed Sep 11, 2019 10:43 amLooks like I won't be getting this. The white dial was oversold by 4 units and I'm one of the unlucky four.

Re: Codek Spiral - official MOT watch?
Some of us here don't mind wearing homages to famous watches (like a Submariner which almost everyone recognizes)...so it probably won't bother us to wear an homage to a watch nobody ever heard of.

Re: Codek Spiral - official MOT watch?
It shouldn’t bother me at all, it it does a little. This isn’t a clone, but takes cues from the previous watch. I am OK with that, but it feels as if the inspiration was hidden from those to which it was marketed.TheJohnP wrote:Does look to have taken a lot of cues from that vintage AP.

Maybe it was mentioned in the Kickstarter, please let me know if it was. If there isn’t admission of this someplace then it may eat away at me.
I know a sub homage when I see one, and know what I am getting into when I buy one. When work is presented as original and unique when inspired by something else then this starts to get to me.
It could be that the design did come up independently and it just so happens that the idea came up before. It’s just hard to know.

In fact, first I heard of this watch was when [mention]aldi[/mention] had posted about the WINDUP deal code.
So there's nothing about the AP on the site, and it's not a direct or 1-1 homage. Even if it was, still not sure that would bother me.

You are right. I could have swore there was one, but I am mistaken.

Re: Codek Spiral - official MOT watch?
What would bother me to no end is if I would have paid full price when it first came out, assuming it was ever sold at regular price.
Maybe that's not too uncommon in the micro realm which I don't follow except when I see a deal like this.
