Oh my, that's unbelievable! I've been losing hope already.. and please bring 39.5 PO back as well.
That’s awesome to hear! Have been waiting for a long time on those, would definitely pick one up.
I really hope VSF fixes the bracelet on the new AT. I handled the gens (black and turquoise) a few times and the centre links are very noticeably curved compared to the old flat links. Very much like the presidential bracelet but quality is nowhere close (in the gen). I have a feeling the VSF bracelet might actually feel more comfortable since I have a VSF WT and that felt better than the gen bracelet to handle!
VSF also needs to fix the date window since it's more curvy in the photos I've seen compared to the gen which has sharper corners.
Fix those issues and release a V2 and I'd buy it in an instant!

I dont care for 41mm AT. But if VS makes a 38mm I'll buy two. One for me and one for my dad.
I think there's a lot of people on the forum who would jump at the 38 AT, myself included. Would definitely get the white and blue dial. Had the gen Skyfall before but sold it, still regret it... those smaller AT's wear perfectly due to smaller L2L and have much better dial to case ratio then the 41s (in my humble opinion).
Now as they obviously developed a 8800 "clone", new doors seem to open 
nice announchement by VSF, but let's see real pictures first and not computer renderings. Last time VSF failed a bit by trying to replicate the summer blue dials.....There it is:
This. While I agree it is different compared to the older AT bracelets, VSF still got it wrong compared to the gen. Btw, the gen bracelet felt cheap compared to the Rolex presidential bracelet! The centre links were rounded but it had sharp edges on the outside of the bracelet. It also felt jangly. Not as bad as the gen older bracelet though (which VSF replicated perfectly). The dial on the gen is next level though. If VSF can get it right, I'll get one and then get a refreshed bracelet if VSF fixes it.
I don't have to put on my reading glasses to see the time on a 41mm.
Old people have (1) more money and (2) presbyopia.
Old people get the Rolex because of the magnified date window.
