pretty stupid/obvious question but I hesitated for weeks before asking (so I get some credit for that ??) - from this list am I to conclude that SubMoose bought 4 Greywater watches?? ?
It's hard enough to get a chance to order just 1, how did SubMoose manage 4??

I'll answer directly, as I handled the delivery of all the watches. He didn't.

He bought the extra watches from other people. There has been some movement since the initial issue.
And there is exactly NO chance to order one new. The only way to get one is to buy a used one at this time (and for the future).

I just read the entire thread. I had no idea of the history, and I didn't realize how lucky I am to have one of these until now. Below is a case back pic.

Does anyone know what the "R" in the center of the dial represents? I have a feeling it's the initial of the PMWF owner that passed away, but I figure someone in the group would know for certain.

I apologize if my question was addressed already. If so, I must have missed it.

Again, just glad to be here.

Stands for Reto. Reto Castellazzi was the owner of the Poor Man's Watch Forum where the Graywater originally started.

Agreed, anyone who has one should feel fortunate. It's an amazing piece.

Congrats on your Graywater. Always thought the GW could be the one and only, but I'm too sick to have only one watch haha.

Enjoy it!

jwellemeyer · Aug 13, 2020

Thanks for the reply and thanks for the information!

I’m equally sick in the head!

I didn't get even one of the original orders. Loved the Blackwater and I'm a GMT fan. The watches started delivering then began changing hands in Feb-October of 2017. I was going through radiation for cancer treatment at that time and all I can say is me on the couch with an iPad, Watchrecon alerts and some extra cash was a dangerous combination. I had 2 by March of 2017 and took one on a live aboard dive trip to Indonesia, totally fell in love with the watch and knew that I wanted to pull off the one for each son feat. Surprisingly, they trade more often than the Blackwater, which I find to be a better size for me.

I've noticed this too. I've seen Greywaters pop up for sale a few times each year but I cannot remember the last time I saw a Blackwater on the 2nd hand market. I'm lucky to have one of each and while I think the Greywater is the better looking, more interesting watch, the Blackwater fits me better as well.

Anybody have any information on how many Blackwaters were made?

Pentameter · Feb 3, 2021

whoops, I actually have #30, not #33 as I had previously mentioned. That probably caused some confusion - sorry about that

Hello,
Im no longer the owner of #19.
I sold it outside of this forum so I have no idea if a WUS member owns it or not.

Hi all - I am happy to report that I am once again a member of this club. @Dre was kind enough to sell me #10. Super excited to be able to obtain one, should not have sold #13 to begin with!
