    Do we know if any of these have been sold out yet? The Speedy looks pretty good to me, even with the slight misses, it's a nice refresh for an old exhausted model.

    Re the Trilogy set and dial text - the extra writings strengthen the collecting appeal I think, and this more than offsets the visual impact! This will also ensure that there is some place to look at when one wants to buy a trilogy combo later down the line and wants to be sure this is a bona fide set.

    I mean, c'mon guys, the "trilogy" text is a minor Nth order thing in the grand visual scheme of things, especially when weighed against the awesomeness of the whole box, roll, nato, etc... gear! How awesome is it to have ONE OF 557 sets of the most emblematic watch re-release ever?!

    One thing i am noticing is that the bracelets don't seem to taper. Does that worry anyone? Looks a little clunky at the clasp, although glad to see micro adjust in there.

    Surely when we're invited to pay well over €20k for something that we can only justify owning by liking it, we're allowed to obsess over details ;)

    Fair enough comment - Still I honestly don't think that most people possibly ready (enthusiastically and financially speaking) to fork out the 20KCHF/$/€ will be deterred by the trilogy text... if only because in the long run this means this very text validates the "real" trilogy pieces which is exactly what the target is after! :)

    People are actually loving it, it is almost sold out and today is the third day since the release.

    I wonder if the SM300 bezel will fit the vintage ones :D

    How so? If you're timing something, you're counting down to zero. The bezel should work fine for that.

    Funny, I almost always use my diving bezel as countdown, to time laundry, parking, etc.

    @jfmiii Holy polish, batman! Nice shots but those are some shiny watches. Not sure if that's a good or a bad thing.

    Grabbed a screenshot of the RM in profile. Haven't seen an official measurement yet, I don't think, but it looks not at all bulky! Nice!

    ^ The RM is quickly becoming my favorite of the bunch... fingers crossed that @dsio is correct and I'll be able to pick one up for at or below MSRP at some point.

    Looks quite slim in that grab, and sits nicely in the wrist as opposed to proud of it. Hopefully they can keep it at 12mm or less, which in my case is the magic number for under sleeve wearability.
