Don't worry @Bahnstormer , @goodbarista is a legal professional (and a good one at that) so can get out of any bother. :D
Indeed. :wink: :wink:

Except it was @goodbarista asking for the list and @mhh8901 who posted it. :-k :-k

My apologies Guy, I did not mean to break that rule. I should have known better than to crop and share someone else's screenshots.

No worries.

Think of it as a common courtesy, rather than a forum rule.

I've discussed it with Marcin.

I’ve been wanting a 36mm 12ti since they were released. I passed on them in the prior sales, but this price is significantly lower and I couldn’t say no. I’m hoping the condition is halfway decent.

I’m thinking this will complete my collection and I can live in stability. For a time.

What colour did you go for Alex? Honestly, every watch I picked up on Saturday seemed to be in great condition. I couldn’t see anything with my naked eye to make them not look new. Hopefully yours will be the same.

Understood. That makes sense. I appreciate the heads up. I will be more mindful in the future.

I thought I'd made another post, but I can't see it.
Anyway, I've succumbed and made yet another purchase. Don't tell my wife. :D

Thanks for the info Kev, I’ve always had good luck with nearly new, so sounds like this might not be too different!

I went for the blue. I’ve seen the purple in person and I like it a lot but the blue will be wearable more often.

It's strange to see the Bel Canto Dragonfly in this sample sale. They originally sold it during a regular sale, then retracted it, explaining it was a mistake because it’s a boutique-only piece that shouldn’t be sold online. And yet, here it is again, available in this new 'sample' sale.

If their reasoning was that boutique-only watches should only be sold in person, then wouldn’t that same logic apply here? Especially since they also held in-person sample sales—shouldn’t those have been the only place to offer it?

I wonder what it feels like to be the last watch left 'on the shelf' in a sale or sample sale. The poor Twelve 36 (Ti) Nardus Green now sitting there all sad and lonely.

@timepieces_and_bags not quite, I see a C8 Flyer available as well, for UNDER $400 USD. What an incredible price for someone out there who can handle 44mm.

Maybe if I like the 12ti in blue enough, I’ll pick up the green to keep it company? Someone slap me for talking nonsense…

It was greyed out when I looked so I assumed it had sold and the website hadn't been updated.

I think it is the Ghost Of Sales Past and is not actually a real listing...frustrating for me as my almost 8" wrist could handle it.

Doesn't greyed out mean its in someone's basket??

I think that is what was happening yesterday when I was putting 12s in mine....
