Just had a look at the Swatch Group corporate website, and it looks as though the various regions are incorporated in their own countries. That may explain the varying deposit policies. With respect to the order of manufacture and distribution, this may have to do with capacity on the various model production lines and supply chain length (if indeed that is the way they operate). That said, you don't really think that putting the US first would be the fairest approach, do you - Swiss company and all that? Maybe next release, Apple, Google and Microsoft can seed customers outside the US first...

Was it an AD? My local OB made me put down the full amount + sales tax. :/

Question: How easy is it to change the bracelet/straps?

Beefylugs

Still a few pieces...

The deposit assertion in the USA was not true in my case. No one asked for more than 20% and it was refundable.

No idea! At over 6 grand I felt completely comfortable with letting the boutique do all the hard bracelet/strap swapping work while I sipped Champagne.

Bravo, will do the same when my speedmaster comes in. Wear it in good health

Im hoping to do the same, sip some champagne and let them do the heavy lifting, though I've got a number of work trips coming up. My one concern is, if I have it shipped to the house, my wife may wear it before I do. Woke up this morning and she took my Tudor Sub to work! I turned her into a watch person and I may begin to pay for that more than I already am!

I'm just hoping for a simple bracelet / strap changing system that we can safely do. Back was I was young and irresponsible, I wore a Panerai, which was too big for my scrawny wrist. However, it did give me a strong appreciation on how a simple strap change can dramatically change the appearance of the watch. Plus, it was a simple process that even I could do!
