I’m thinking about buying two C63 Sealander GMTs, 39mm, the Hunter Green and Dragonfly Blue. Think I prefer Green with Camel leather and Dragonfly with Bader bracelet. Most seem to be on pre-order at the moment unless on the Consort bracelet.

What I’m a bit more intrigued by is quite how the pre-orders work though. Looking at the timeframes:

Hunter Green / Camel Oak Leather - 28 Feb 2025
Dragonfly Blue / Bader Bracelet - 19 Mar 2025

But if you switch over the strap/bracelet:

Hunter Green / Bader Bracelet - 28 Feb 2025
Dragonfly Blue / Camel Oak Leather - 20 Feb 2025

So flipping them over gets you delivery almost a month quicker. Maybe it takes a month to change them over and they’re not so ‘quick release’ after all!

But serious question, unless this is just a glitch of the website, is there a legitimate reason why this would be the case?

If the Dragonfly Blue / Camel Oak Leather date were to be 19 Mar 25, that would make sense.

As it is, I've no idea. One of the option dates seems wrong.

Literally had the same question as you from browsing the Sealander on the site. Considering buying the the strap separately to not have to wait until February

Dragon Blue with Bader is now showing in stock

It will be because when adding the items to the eCommerce system they will have allocated bracelets and straps - it won't just be a generic pool of straps and watch bodies, so body A and strap B will be a combined unit with a combined expected delivery time... so there will be different stock levels / order times on the combinations you list
