I got one! I just want to say thanks Nick for all your hard work. I've wanted a screen accurate version of this watch ever since I saw the movie when I was a kid. I had the plastic toy version I would wear all the time. I found out about the officially licensed watch, but was disappointed by how much it differed from the on screen version and it's super rare. They also consistently sell for over $600 on eBay when they do show up. For the last few years I have checked the The RPF threads a couple times a year to see if anyone had brought this watch to life. All the old threads just died out in 2010. On a whim, I checked last night and found your thread. I could hardly contain my excitement. When I saw that they were already for sale, and at a reasonable price, I was a little scared they would already be sold out. But I was able to get one of your final half dozen! At some point down the line I totally plan to add a speaker mechanism for the "calling Dick Tracy" effect. So thanks again.
On a more business-y note, the Etsy page says 4-6 weeks to ship. Is that actually what it will take, or is that just to cover any assembly issues? It's fine either way. I'm just glad my long search is over. This is my dream watch.
Thanks,
Jonathan
