Coupon 125SUN20 will bring these down by $125.
Thanks for the info. Tempting. But really, at this point, I wish all the watches available were big, ugly, and expensive so I wouldn't be tempted anymore. :)

If [mention]ManOnTime[/mention] got boozed up enough last night to pull the trigger on this we can at least all live vicariously through him!
I wish that watch were 38mm?

If you switch over to AUD instead of USD and apply 170SUN20 as a coupon you are able to knock off another $100 or so. This is sooooo tempting. Please somebody order this and let us live vicariously through you!

They've all been sold out. I missed the boat due to work even though I got the email.

Blue with 12 hour would be my pick. But I think I'm going to wait for the universa.

It's tough to choose when both colorways look so good. Luckily for me I already have enough blue watches so grey was the obvious choice for me. Plus I prefer the mint seconds tip on the grey since it's more unique than the orange on the blue.

For those on the fence, Jason sent an updated email clarifying some questions.
The 12-hour steel bezel won't be available for this rendition.
The bracelet clasp will have an tool-less micro-adjustable clasp for those who are on the fence. (think Rolex and Monta clasps)
Based on the updated pictures, it appears that it will likely have 2 holes in the lugs for strap/bracelet versatility.

While I'm not a fan of the secondary market scalpers of this brand, this is a great value at the MSRP.
