I have a feeling that some will come back.
Somebody is bound to cancel their order between now and then. I'm just going to be refreshing my window until I get one.
For VLR, what happened was they had a preorder on Amazon with watch, it sold out, then after a while they updated to a new listing for the watches, that sold out, and the people who originally preordered (if they didn't manually update their preorder, even they were told their preorder would be fine) missed out on the watches. There was some backlash, complaining, blah blah blah, but Aksys said they weren't responsible for it and that it was a problem with Amazon..... and Amazon could care less, so they didn't do anything. They did wind up having a small amount of extras through the Aksys site before it came out, and then a different color watch for a hurricane relief fund. So try and keep an eye out regardless.... maybe if we try and keep each other updated on this thread if we find anything out, we won't miss out if something goes awry.
The watches are alright....the original one for 999 was metal, VLR is plastic....not adjustable, but it looks pretty cool. It lights up when you push the button, otherwise you don't see the time. The screws on mine are rusted on the back, and the time keeps resetting, so it's more of a cosmetic item than something that is actually functional.
