Would you please share your dealer details as I’m looking to order the watch but 558$ is a bit too much.. would rather save that 100$+ and order some straps.

Be sure to understand why our TDs charge more and what you're not getting when you order from non TD

Trusty also added the rubber and leather strap options but only for the brown dial so far. I guess it will just take a bit of time until all of them become available

Unfortunately I can’t share any details as I don’t use non TD. Just from what I have seen online our TD are overpricing this piece and I have no clue why

Because they buy from the same non-TD and have to make a profit themselves

Yes of course, I already have 3 watches from 3 different factories and through 2 different TDs.

After doing abit of research and reading all different stories from multiple end users, I think I would like to try and go through Non TDs, 1st the savings that can be considerable, 2nd to compare the 2 ways on my own haha. At the end, it hasn’t even been a year since I started this hobby and I’m already learning so much from this forum ????????

I meant read the role of Trusted Dealers, what they have to commit to in order to get that status etc. For example do you know what happens if the watch your ordered from a non TD is seized by customs? Or if you receive the wrong watch?

Has anyone ordered the black dial yet? I'd like to know if the dial is as good as the rest. Seems everyone only wants the blue or silver/white lol

Ordered the blue a few weeks ago waiting on QC do you think TD will sell the rubber strap as well?

Same here i ordered a blue one but the dealer told me it’s out of stock from factory. Waiting for a new batch so he can send me the QC. Is that the case with you? Or is it just that your dealer takes long to prepare the QC pics?

thanks

Got my black one today.
Unfortunately my rotor is real noisy, so you can either have luck or not.

Still love the watch! The black dial has a very light Sunburst. Looks spectacular.

Indeed this one looks supercool! Is there a different lume on hands vs. hour index?
