I imagine the last 4 will get picked up over the next few days.
But it's been like this for most FLE exercises - lots of positive noise prior to the ordering period, and then once money actually has to be plonked down, the numbers drop drastically.

I'm sure that's true but still a pretty good response if all bar one (no I'm not advertising a well known pub chain!) are now sold within 48 hours 8)

I can't tell exactly as Wera needs to sort, but it is in the 40's.

That might not be totally accurate....I've chatted with another buyer whose pre-order went a bit awry after 1 x successful deposit - he's received 2 x "number allocated" emails even though 1 x deposit amount in his account and an exchange of explanatory emails between him and Wera that should have sorted the problem before numbers were allocated.

So don't be surprised if the quantity available clicks up to 2 sometime today.

Still showing 2 available as a basket option, but all of the strap options have disappeared.

Well maybe if people stopped dicking around with the website, plonking/removing loads of watches into/from the basket, just to see how many are still available, the system might be able to be a touch more reliable and accurate.

If the system is robust, that shouldn't make any difference, it will only reduce numbers on completed deals.

Anyway, I've just had a dispatch notice for mine, so my FLE is on it's way to me :D
