Angus just now

Sorry guys, the maker just called me that the case factory told him there is a small problem to the case and they are working on it and it may cause a delay to the release

and probably we can't get it before CNY. I am sorry about this and the maker said he will confirm this with me tomorrow and I will let you guys know so you have enough time to ask for a refund if you want to.
Wait for my news.

lol, they must have some cases ready, it cannot be that all of the sudden they find a problem on a case? Anyhow, that will not affect the release of the noob products? I am ok with the Panda also.

I think we are just being fed pics of what will be available after Cny rather than what actually is available before Cny

This FC 44mm release is turning into one wild roller-coaster ride. I think I am getting whiplash...
At least, the Linde Werdelin release is on schedule... for before CNY.

we will know more tomorrow, noob will close on the 21st, they have 2 more days to go. The watches were ready since x mas, just the rotor was missing. Now if they get the rotor, they can assemble it and ship,a few watches. If they do not ship anything, then they may have one sample rotor.
On the CF I expect that it could have something to do with waterresistence? The mold was done, if there is something wrong with it, it would screw up the complete timing. Hardest part on these FC case is to get them waterproofed, regarding to Domi.

In some regards, I would prefer J12 to take their time so that there are no assembly errors (stripped screws, poorly mounted hands, etc.) associated with a rushed production. On the other hand, the Chinese gov always uses the post-CNY period to do a lot of "show raids" and "crack downs" on the rep factories, and EMS tightens customs as well. The FC ver. seems like it will be a spring release after all. .
