2013 FLE Progress Report # 11

Post by Kip »

Everything is in place for the reservation process to begin.

I am just awaiting final approval from Chris that we are good to go. No delays expected. :)

Hoping to post between 6-7 am EST on Wednesday December 5, so that Wera can enjoy her morning coffee.

Please do not try to order early as any reservations received before the posting time will not be honored. We want to be fair to everyone. All reservations will be be taken on a first come first served basis.

Please follow the ordering instuctions that will be provided in the announcement and provide the information requested. This will make it easier for Wera later and will help to prevent any delays in your shipment.

Watch for it!!!

Are there new drawings/renderings available? With watches it are little details (shape of a bezel for example) that can make or break it. I would love to see something as close as possible to the final product before I decide if I am going to order or not. As good as the original renderings in the voting polls are they still don't look enough like the real thing to me.

I think it is somewhat unfair that the American contingent gets to reserve them 5 hours before the rest of us!

Erm, you do know how timezones work right? 6-7 EST is the same as 11-12 here, we all get to reserve at the same time, just not the same time. Some of our American cousins reserve over their breakfast, we reserve over our elevenses or lunch.

It was something of a joke... hence the "hiding behind sofa" image, as if the comment were likely to cause ruptions ;)

I will be in court with the Sheriff/Judge from hell. :thumbdown:

I wonder if I can ask for a short break to order a watch?

Sheriff means it is civil, yes? Maybe he will be ;)
