Yup, and it'll happen again.

This works zero percent of the time with Porsche. I assure you. Even with Ferrari, who are notorious for blacklisting.

 

Congratulations to all who secured one of these watches -- beautiful timepiece, nice packaging with the watch roll, and great direct sales approach. I bought the CK2998 last year and love it.

 

Not to nitpick, but it sure would've been nice if allocations were throttled to account for a majority of timezone ranges. Perhaps they were, and I'm just sad that I missed out on such an awesome piece. But it did feel like Europe / Asia / US East Coast (barely since the announcement was 6am Eastern) got to grab them all.

 

Awesome, awesome looking piece though. Serious congrats to RJ and the Fratello Watches team.

 

I see.

Yeah, worst luck on my part. Pacific Time + overslept due to waking up with a sore throat.

The announcement hit my inbox at ~3am Pacific. I'd have jumped all over it if I was "healthy" last night as I'd still have been awake. Oh well. Such is luck.

 

Incredibly happy with my reservation for 1298! Today was a good day

Great first post.

 

I've waited for a speedy for so long now. Think today was a good day to decide to get one

 

Made the same call, mate. Couldn't be happier.

 

Calling @dsio ... Ash, your gospel is needed...

 

Thank you!

Will keep checking.

 

What was the release time?

 

Indeed. I was one of them (who missed, not who flipped).
