I'm sure they'd add a few more letters if our "Tosser" order was big enough. It's a priviledged title, not everyone gets to be called. It takes a special kind of person.

Hey guys, I just did a group purchase from Alpha (47 watches total) and I can get the Newman for a pretty good discount if you guys don't mind waiting until Feb when I put the next order together.

Because I need to have at least 25 orders to get the discount. The GP I just did was 47 watches and took two weeks to put together.

I just got the first batch of my order and the Newman's are gorgeous!

I didn't talk him down, I put the order together and then he quotes prices. There doesn't seem to be any system to it. Next time might be different.

I'm going to start taking orders after new years since so many people are interested again.

They ship from Hong Kong. I got this first batch of 33 pieces in about five days, I think he shipped straight from the factory.

My friend ordered one through the website about a week or so ago and he's still waiting.

Yes its weird. After a month (I think, might be more) of not wearing the GMT Master 2.... I can actually still feel the weight of it. Especially when I am walking around... it's like I am missing something! My wrist feels bare......

So can you tell us what are the prices he quoted you so we don't get screwed doing our own group order now?

Lt. Dan, I see the group order thing worked out if you received 33 watches in a week. PM me and let me know how much I may need to send you to be apart of the next group purchase. I see $125 for the cream dial newman 30min chrono on his site. What would my discount be? PM and let me know

Yea, I think the "Tosser" brand name would bring in some major$$$$ down the road as many would want this limted production if we all did it.

No need for a PM, four people bought daytonas in the newman and reversed newman colors. My price to them was $95 including shipping. I have a feeling a lot more of the $125 daytonas will be ordered next time so I should be able to get them cheaper than that I hope.
