    You could find your closest AD and see what they'll do

    I looked online- apparently my closest “Mido Dealer” is a Duty Free shop in DC....that doesn’t sound promising

    Feldmar in LA is a Mido AD, they'll ship all over.

    Before the Hodinkee release, I called a lot of supposed Mido “retailers,” and either they were A. no longer a retailer, or B. they had no idea what limited edition I was referring to. All were little to no help besides Carot & Co. up in NYC. Even then, they didn’t say they were on the list for it, but would absolutely try to get one.

    Well there's always Worn & Wound whenever they get them in. I inquired about a different Mido a few weeks ago with Feldmar and they said they could order that one - they may not hold stock in Mido but seem to be able to facilitate purchases.

    No worries; I think I was the first one to place an order with the ‘Dink when news broke they were helping to release it haha. I was just relieved someone could actually sell it and be sure of their inventory.

    Well, I have my fingers crossed this doesn’t go the way of the LE Seawolfs that got stupid after dinky sold them out.

    Love it - still feels like good value for money I think. If I’m critical of anything, it’s a bit ‘shiny’ which seems an odd thing to say if you’ve seen some of my other watches, but I’m sure it won’t be long before it’s scratched up! Dial is just awesome to look at. Comfort is great, bezel nice and ratchety. Black date window unobtrusive. So far a thumbs up.

    This is absolutely offensive.

    I think everyone should make an offer of $1

    Rotating through different strap options at the mom ... also noticing the hands are a bit ‘where’s Waldo?’... but I don’t usually use my watches to tell the time anyway :D
