Depends... On what the factories plan. But on the Portuguese, it's such a good thing to wait for a new version, as the previous ones have had a lot of issues.

These are 7750 movements with sec @ 6, which involves a LOT of problems. A few modders can make it more reliable by adding some jewels to the movement.

Speaking about a release date, I honestly can't tell you, as there is very little info about upcoming releases.
But this is a very popular watch, and they know it... I guess :)

Also, there are a few decent quartz versions out there. Wrong dial, but I heard they are pretty good for the bucks. I know Marvellous Replicas has them, might be worth a look ;)

Good luck, and it's all about patience mate ;)

I would read more on the TD buyer reviews before you choose a TD.

Every TD can get any watch you are looking for. But some people prefer different TD's based on relationships, quality, price, shipping, payment etc.

I found that Ryan from InTime is a great down to earth guy that looks out for your best interests and offers great advice. We actually talk other aspects than just watches.

Good luck :)
