    I did too, I like the idea of a beater supercompressor. I tend not to be able to hang onto microbrands for long though so we'll see how it turns out later this year

    Keeping powder dry on this one. Still want to see the SM300. Timex Galli Blue was my last indulgence. I’m amazed they kept the price point on this watch.

    That's kinda my same feeling. I'll be letting the Neptune II go, I think. I liked it but I just stopped wearing it after a while. Might see if a brother is interested in it, otherwise I'll be putting it up for sale to my OF family when I get back from this trip.

    Should have some live pics for you all whenever they end up shipping. Looks like it'll be a while. No word yet on whether I've gotten in early enough to have a numbered unit. Fingers crossed!

    Edit to add: the fact that someone brought a supercompressor to market intrigues me and I kinda just want to try those out. Also will be my first blue dial

    Very nice but the reason I pulled the trigger on the Baltic is that it’s no-date. I’ve got plenty of 3-hand divers by now and so to add another one, it’s gotta have something extra beyond the usual offering. No-date supercompressor is it, for now

    Saw the Lip before and almost bought it, but wasn't as keen on the colors. I kinda like a date window but willing to try this one out for a spin

    i bought the blue and the pvd versions. not sure both will stick but i have basically discarded every other micro brand in favor of baltic at this point. the gmt IMO is the best travel watch i've ever found

    Did you receive any indication of your order number?

    Edit: I'd like to assume that if your preorder was accepted, you've made it into the numbered batch of 300 at this time. IIRC, the preorder runs out then there's a period of "coming again soon," before orders are accepted again. Of course, this is just me being optimistic and giddy as a schoolboy haha

    If you find out you don’t want one of the two, I’ll pick it up from you. Both of those variations were my two choices.

    I really need/want a modern watch that I don't care about swimming with since most of my watches are vintage and was going to pull the trigger on the older model but now I am really thinking about this one (of course I had kind of wanted the watch for the Summer).

    He also makes lots of bad choices, like skipping leg day...

    My trigger finger was twitching for two days. I finally bought the blue one a few minutes ago.
