Has anyone been able to order any of these for less than suggested retail price? Just wondering because an OB said they can still order me a speedy, but is quoting full retail.

OB just informed me they expect speedmaster deliveries to begin in NYC as early as tomorrow and as late as next week. Was told that approximately 8 watches at a time will come in. When nyc customers receive their watches will Depend on when your reservation was made and how many people deposited at OB. In my case I was told earliest October but more likely November is when I will see the watch.

All that's left to do now is for someone to post pics of their new LE Railmaster next to vintage CK2914 to compare the case contours.

In a way. My "discount" came as a result of tax differences.

Do OB's ever offer a discount? On items that have been sitting in inventory a long time only?

Sorry, should have specified, mine is coming from an AD, not OB.

Yeah ok, I've never bought from an OB, just ADs. I guess OBs can't discount watches?

Not by much, and certainly not for limited-edition or otherwise sought-after watches. What they do instead is add small gifts, like an extra strap or other merchandise, and of course your relationship with an OB means you might get better placement in line for a limited-edition watch.

Can someone please confirm that the Trilogy clasp' s PUSH micro-adjustment has 3 settings each one giving about 2mm of length?

Yes to three clicks, but the maximum range isn't 6mm

More like 4mm range. 6mm would have been better.
(sorry that the last photo is so blurry).

Ah, thanks Longbow...yeah, there are the 3 notches on the inside...good photos!
Yeah, each click yielding maybe like 1.25mm of length (I didn't do the exact math).
