Seems so.
Did anyone on the forum manage to bag one?

I am just the tiniest bit entertained after so many made prognostications of seeing these for sale (and on sale) for months to come…

And…on eBay USA already for nearly $4000.
So not all bought by watch enthusiasts.

Scurfa’s 2024 editions are also suddenly on US eBay — probably the same accounts

Truly so strange — posted for sale before it’s even received, and posted including the purchase confirmation with the actual price paid. I really hope they fail to move it for anything like the amount sought.

There's tens of thousands of watches out there. I really don't see why anyone feels the need to pay more than list price for any of them.

With prices continually dropping on the second hand market, one needs only to be patient…

In the description it does say:
“Made up price I’m not unreasonable, shoot me a dm to inquire!”
So I don’t think he’s trying to sell it at that crazy price, even if he is looking to make a profit on it

Well, if you were going to think about it over the weekend, you’d better start looking on eBay.
Didn't need much thinking about to be honest. It's not for me - and I suspect not for a lot of other people either. Personally I thought of it as a (much) better made Swatch. But they've sold 500 in no time at all so what does that matter?
I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left

Got sold fully, probably quickest in CW history. I am getting my watch on Wednesday, Oct 2nd. Hope to post few unboxing pictures.

I believe that may have been the Green Bel Canto. Released precipitately following the blue version which sold out on Day 1, it sold out within hours.

Desk Diver watch delivered today. Watch is good but overall packaging with office stationary is not good.
