Re: Fastest Finger on the Button
I ordered two yesterday and one today. None have been mailed yet. I’m hoping DHL and customs are less of a hassle compared to this time last year.
Re: Fastest Finger on the Button
My sealander which I ordered yesterday is in transit, expected delivery tomorrow by DPD. I assume your case has something to do with the fact you are not located in the UK.
I was quite surprised that they have sent mine so fast given it's sale time.
Do you guys expect that they will add a lot more of NN watches during this sale? Or is it pretty much done and they will just add a few more items.

Re: Fastest Finger on the Button
From a consumer perspective, I think you’re likely covered by British, Federal and State law given it says 60/60 on the page of the watch on sale
.

Beat up vintage Swatch Irony, C5 Malvern (the original), Swiss Military Swiss Soldier Quartz, Seagull 1963, Swatch Blurang Automatic, Swatch Cafe de Flore, Sealander GMT, Trident Pro 600, Fitbit Charge 5. Festina 8810, Addiesdive AD2113 knock off.

Re: Fastest Finger on the Button
Just looked at the sale site for the first time since yesterday afternoon. I wonder how many NN Aquitaines were added to the sale?
Hopefully this will mean a few more Aquitaine pics cropping up in the CW of the day thread; to help forumites decide if the Aquitaine is worth a punt.

This forumite decided that a White sand / blue GMT Aquitaine was worth a punt, Neil.


I considered the White sand / green Automatic but decided the GMT offered better value for money.

PS> I got it on a bracelet. Actually, all the Aquitaines seemed to be on a bracelet.

Re: Fastest Finger on the Button
I picked up a green one. Is it stupid to have one blue and one green? Time will tell.
Re: Fastest Finger on the Button
A NN sapphire was added this evening (gone - sorry) so they are still popping up for those of us late to the party.
The Aquataines are quite tempting at this price, aren't they?

I have a hard $799 limit for watches from overseas; I don't want to deal with the duties and potential paperwork mishaps. As such I am limiting my choices. The few pieces I liked were well over my limit.

Re: Fastest Finger on the Button
I was able to pick up the Super Compressor Deep Blue during the preview. I was very excited as it is one I have had my eye for a while and recently noticed the colorway was no longer showing as an option on the regular site.
Now the wait begins.
