I am awaiting a response from San Martin. By awaiting, I mean I emailed them today. I should have confirmation about being able to get both blue and gunmetal as well as a better idea on price now that we have 10. Fingers crossed, but honestly don't feel I need to. SM builds fantastic watches and have a significantly higher QC standard than other Chinese watch brands I've owned. Excitement is building for me!

We are a go for 6 blue and 4 gunmetal. Also, the price should come in at under $250 on bracelet before shipping.

Unsure about the next step. I believe that SM can create a custom link to their site just for our watch so that each person can order independently. Or everyone could PayPal me the funds and I could distribute them. Obviously, I would prefer the former, but if it could save us some $$$, I am game. Also, not sure if we have any folks outside the US getting in on this, but if so, we can have the value declared at $80 or so to avoid excessive customs/duties.

I am excited too! And this was/still is definitely a group effort. Hopefully this paves the way for many more watches to come. Also, talking to SM, I learned that if we can ever hit the 50 watches mark, it unlocks not only a discount, but also the addition of the MoT logo on the signed crown, clasp and a custom case back design.

Can't wait for one of these to show up in a WRUW thread at The Other Place. [emoji48]

Tap. Talk. Buy another watch. Repeat as needed.

I am outside the U.S., and should be counted already for 1 or 2 (at least a blue, both if we need to make numbers). Any update on how we will order / pay and roughly when I should plan to do that?
