    I am sweating because I am only on a list without need to put a deposit and they are not taking any more orders since yesterday. In essence it has likely become unobtainable from OB (forget about AD)

    relax guys, they are most likely not taking anymore order for now due to initial hype, as Im sure they dont want people to wait too long for their watch. Im sure even if they stop taking any orders now, they would take again in about 3 months time. Im sure whats sold out is just the "initial production" not the whole production. Remember its not limited edition nor limited production.

    Go and offer them a deposit! Unless you do so, you will be stripped out of membership! ;)

    Not trying to come off as a wine snob, but if you're putting down full deposits for years, you're not buying "fine wines." In fact I'm not really sure what you're buying, but unless you're flipping your allocation, you're being taken for a ride.

    Real "fine wines" are purchased through auctions and brokers/dealers. If you're in the game then you likely have someone navigating all that for you. If you're really in the game then you're on the list. Don't know anyone that is getting "fine wine" by floating money upfront for years.

    That's what I heard as well about the deposit. Tons of flippers around where I am, so the OB was selective in telling some people first over the others. The entire deposit was somewhat hard to give out but it's 100% refundable and I can wait.

    Monday and Tuesday was crazy for them. Got besieged with phone calls and visits... lolol. I ended up going in at closing time and paying the rest with a cup of coffee on the table.

    And in the description, it's changed from the non-limited edition watch to the non-limited watch.

    realistically this would be produced much more than 7k watches, otherwise it would be weird to call the 50th apollo 11 edition limited while this edition is not limited with less than 5k watches. Which is good news for everyone right, if you want one you can get one, the way it should be :), since its not limited i expect at least 20.000 pieces produced.

    Yes, surely there will be a watch for everyone who likes it and have the funds to get it.

    "A short history of the Netherlands and Holland
    Between 1588 and 1795, the area that is now the Netherlands was the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands. In 1795 the country was conquered by French troops and became the Batavian Republic. Napoleon proclaimed his brother Louis king in 1806, making the Netherlands a kingdom. After the fall of Napoleon, the Netherlands remained a kingdom. The Holland area was the largest contributor to the economy and prosperity for the entire country at that time. Holland therefore became a common name for the whole country abroad."

    I used google translate as it's explained on this site.
