I ordered the diver model so that it would be waterproof. If I had it to do over, I would have gotten a "slimmer" model. This is a huge heavy watch!

Well, that sounds typical! We Porscheguys buy our own presents!

You can always get another watch and have Duarte swap the dials. The Seiko 5s are light and comfortable, and they sell for about $60. They won't go diving, but you can do pretty much anything you don't need a bathing suit for without worry. So, you can get a new watch for about the cost of a tank of gas. Plus, you can always sell the current watch for a good portion of what you paid for it on eBay.

Okay, the conversions are all done. The last batch got here Saturday and what I have here (about 20, all told) will be going in the mail tomorrow. I'll post up a list of the recipients, and you should get an email from the USPS.

Funny. I just read this post and no sooner did I close the window, I received an email from USPS about the shipment. Now that is service!

Shawn Stanford

LOLz!

The last batch of watches is adressed, bagged, and going to the post office in the next few minutes.

(If you see your name twice, you have two coming!)

I owe two people that missed their dials being shipped. I'll send those out in the next day or two.

I have a list of people for the spare dials. Let me get a count of who's on my list and how many dials I have left.

Thanks everyone for your patience in sticking with this project. It's been a long road. I really did enjoy it, and I'm looking forward to seeing the finished products in person.

My sentiments exactly! Can't remember when I've been so glad to see my name on a list! Now just waitin for USPS.................

So... Yeah...

I set up all the watches to go out yesterday morning: printed postage and mailing labels at home and packaged everything up nice as pie. I get to the post office and - DOH! - closed for Veteran's Day. The problem being that with the postage I printed they had to be mailed yesterday! So, I went over to the main post office in my area and jammed all twenty of them into two mailboxes. I had to use two because I filled up the first one.

I'm hoping that will satisfy the requirement that they be mailed on the 11th. If not, I'm going get them back and I'll have to repost them all - and I'll be out the cost of postage. The USPS has my email for the shipping labels, so I've been checking my mail and nothing telling me I'm a dumbass yet. *fingers crossed*

I still don't understand why their application would allow me to enter a shipping date on which the USPS was closed. Sounds like a significant bug to me!

I was taking pics under my car today (Oil leak. Oy!), and here's my watch:
