Tornek Rayville Please

Hi all,

I sit here, as I write this, with a wonderful P300 ( with date ) on my wrist. I took off the metal bracelet and put it on the supplied NATO. It looks absolutely amazing. It constantly draws the eye. The clarity, crispness and precision of the dial is mesmerising. The bezel is brilliantly legible when viewed straight and reflects all sorts of fabulous colours at other angles.

After the watch finally cleared UK Customs ( after 2 weeks ), it has not left my wrist for a week and I am a very happy man.

Except .... I struggle to describe this ... I have a strange and tiny piece of emptiness inside. A little void where something is missing. Where something used to be. It took me some days to work out what it was ... for the first time in almost 10 years my "incoming list" is now empty. I no longer harbour that small ( often suppressed ) feeling of excitement and anticipation that the P300 has provided for so many years.

So, as an open plea to Bill, will you please take my deposit for a Tornek Rayville. I really don't mind how long the wait, but would prefer something a little less than 10 years ;-)



To those who have received your P300s - enjoy them. For those still waiting - I hope it will not be much longer now.

:-D

First thing I did when I got to the office this morning was push back a meeting that was set to begin at 10:00 tomorrow.

YOUR ORDER HAS BEEN RECEIVED

that was a pretty overloaded BE server experience :) would be curious to see the load graph :)
It took 9 minutes from the time I loaded up the active sales page until my order was finally received. I had to hit "continue" multiple times on a few of the screens because things were freezing up. I wonder how quickly these first 75 slots will go...

Getting worried now !

I refreshed the sales page and hit purchase within seconds of it opening. I have been fighting through the checkout process for 10 minutes. I have finally reached the "place order" button and keep receiving a pop up stating "there was an error processing your order. Please contact us or try again later". Argghhh !!

The page now says "ordering closed" again. It sounds like the first 75 slots are filled.
My jacket is out for delivery today. I agree it looks great (I'm looking forward to receiving it) but like others, I would have bought the watch without the jacket.

FWIW, I actually have quite a few things from American Trench (I'm wearing some American Trench socks today!) and I've always been impressed with their quality. I've got an olive drab peacoat from them that is so much nicer than any other peacoats I've handled in the same price range (and those more $$$$ than the American Trench one) and it blows the Sterlingwear peacoats out of the water - Sterlingwear is the brand that had the contract with the military and was sold at the Navy Exchange and in the uniform stores when I served.
I got a notification on Saturday from AT that my shipping was refunded.

FWIW, I'm not generally a hoodie or sweatshirt guy but I wore the heck out of that TR sweatshirt this weekend!

Nice watch, but at $14.4K it is for the few.
I'd sell my MKII collection for that one! ....or at least for a downpayment towards that one. :p

The photo posted on Instagram looks awesome. I cannot wait for mine!

I'm looking forward to this more than I was for my 300.

The eagle has landed!

Looks great! And I have to say I'm a little jealous I didn't get to post mine up first. lol

Can't wait for fellow owners to saturate this forum with tons of amazing photos soon👍😊 I'm just not that good at photography.
I'm no good at photography either but mine just landed a few minutes ago:






And side-by-side with the Sting Ray I've been wearing the past few days:



I don't have a fancy micrometer to take measurements, but it feels like the TR sits considerably more flush against my wrist than the Sting Ray does. The strap that came with the TR is also pretty nice - I was anticipating that it would be too stiff right out of the box and I'd put it aside for one of my well worn NATO straps, but it's really pretty pliable and very comfortable.

Other than wearing my Garmin Fenix 6x for my morning run, my TR 660 has not left my wrist in the 2 weeks+ since it's arrived. This is the longest I've stuck with a single watch in years!
