At this point RJ has said in the other thread it is close to sold out, there may well me a batch of additional ones free up 24+ hours after the initial release was made as the people who failed to confirm by email will lose their place so I'd try that and if you don't get one out of that when payment is due some more will likely free up.

The black list might exist... but it's useless... still happens all the time...

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.

USA Midwest had plenty of time too.

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. 😀

I could tell you why and how he was offered a buy in but according to Porsche it doesn't exist.

Ask that to the people who missed a snoopy due to immediate flippers

Calling @dsio ... Ash, your gospel is needed...
No at the moment it looks like they're pretty much all reserved but if you check back in 24 hours or more from the release many that failed to confirm by email may become available again.

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