I stayed up until 3am for a watch
These limited releases are fun.
Anyone else get in on this? I was lucky to get the one I wanted, this gray model sold out immediately.
Edit: It was definitely not bots. I had the opportunity to buy both watches. The problem I think was allowing two watches per household and not sending the first access email to everyone on the list.

Still waiting for my email :-(

Probably sent to spam! They emailed five minutes before the official launch. Go get yours!

Nope, nothing. Also the web page doesn't seem to have updated at all.

Can't argue with that. And thanks for the link, but already sold out. Harrumph.
Now I know how @casiodean felt!! 😡 got priority access and I was at check out with both watches and as soon as I click pay both sold out !! Wtf!! F@ck you scalpers!! With your damn bots!!
Ok rant over…

I’m guessing they went in order of people that signed up. One of my email addresses that I signed up a Week ago got it but my other email address that I signed up yesterday did not
Wasn’t planning to get one, but checked website at 11:03 UK (went Live 11:00) and all sold out
I missed out? 🙁
I signed up on the 21st, and received the email that they would do a 5min prior access email, so I was up at 5:50am waiting for an email to drop in and it never came, saw that they were open to add to cart so I did but it looks like I didnt get the chance to put in all my information quick enough and it dropped my order.
Saw these in person last weekend and figured this would be my first Spinnaker. Set alarm, got up early to buy one, never got priority email, so checked at 6am and.sold out. Lots of upset perspective clients.
Good on them for selling out, but this experience will leave a bad taste in the minds of many and sadly I imagine the first reaction when the name comes up in the future will be tied to the feelings expressed in this thread.
By the time I opened my email it was sold out. Signed up for the restock notification. Awesome Spinnaker!
Sounds like spinnaker needs to get their sheet together.
Do all of you live overseas? Otherwise what are you doing up at this hour! 🤣
Congrats! Those second/second collabs are getting better and better.
Look at this nonsense
Wow that is cool. I have a spinnaker. I had no idea they did limited releases.
This was the highlight of windup for me this year, nice pick up 👍

Thanks!
Read the email around 7am pacific time. Sold out 😞
I really hope they release more. Really want one, and I’m not exactly sure why lol. I think it may be the “no feet”.

The whole watch is like a dumb punchline and I love it lol

Curious minds want to know, what else piqued your curiosity?
Congrats! I wish I got in on one.
Congrats! The things we do for our watch enthusiasm 😉
Look at this nonsense
Just went up in price
Im so torn on this watch, because I love ghosts, I love the fifty fathoms and I love the watch ..... But as a Southampton FC fan (and a superstitious person) I'd just feel it was bad luck wearing anything with "Spinnaker" (a reference to Portsmouth, our biggest rivals) on a match day 😂 oh well! Enjoy!
I don’t think it was bots either. I got my email exactly at 10:55 and had a choice of both and quickly grabbed a black one. I guess you just had to make sure their email was white listed so you got the email on time!
People always comment on Seiko "Limited Editions" having such high counts(mine is 1/7000) but at least it gives you a legitimate chance to buy one unlike this one or the Smith's Everest(i know that's a different story, though)
