How much cheaper would that watch be without all the gimmicky crap that comes with it?

Agreed, it's become insufferable, and IMO it diminishes the release for casual fans such as myself.

Maybe a few hundred? At that price point, I really don't have a problem with some ostentation or gimmickry. Quite frankly, I like it.

That's funny, but I don't mind all the threads! It's a highly anticipated new release and there are a lot of opinions about it.
At least this forum is not as bad as some others (The Rolex forum comes to mind) where they have numerous threads about the exact same thing, or ridiculous threads about things such as if it's safe to wear your watch while sleeping!

@AntonisCy Thanks, it's good to start seeing this watch being handled and shown under more natural conditions. I was hoping that Linz would ask about delivery timetable for the watch, are they all going to be delivered in the July-Dec window? Would seem to be uncool to have this drag out into next year.

You ALWAYS have the option to toss all that gimmickry crap into the trash bin in order to declutter your man cave.

It looks like a variation on the current Speedy Pro box to me. I might add it's probably appropriate for the 50th anniversary model.

I would have preferred to have seen the movement. What's the purpose of the loupe they included in the box?
