Hey guys,
For those of you eagerly awaiting for the arrival of NightTrain in the US, Jeff Hess have announced that they should be at your AD within this week. However only 100 pieces will arrive on this shipment. The rest will come on the following shipment. Those who pre-ordered will have to wait a little longer.

So those that paid in advance & pre-ordered will wait a bit longer? Shouldn't they get theirs first from these 100? I didn't pre-order, but if I did I'd expect the store to give me the first one off the shipment & not think, "well he's already paid so he can wait. Think I'll sell this one to someone else".

It does seem like a rather odd policy.  |

Guys,
Just so everyone has the right info, here is the word from Jim Hess at Ball Watch USA 5 days ago:
"The good news or the bad news or the good news?
Good news? The Night train is on it sway from Switzerland and will ship to stores within 10 or so days!
Bad news? Because of World demand, the USA is only going to get 100 of them on our initital order. What does this mean? IT means that stores that have 8 on order will get 2. Stores that have 2 on order will get 1. Etc.
Good news? The rest of order is to ship by October 10"
Jim then reported on Friday that the 100 watches had shipped from Switzerland to US that day where they must clear US Customs early next week, be delivered to Ball USA, be sorted, repacked and sent out to ADs. I think we can expect that with some effort the Night Train MIGHT be at your AD by next weekend (10/6) if you're lucky, but that does not mean they will have a watch for you, even if you pre-ordered like me---the supply is very limited on this first shipment from Switzerland.
Personally, I can wait another few weeks.
Hope that info helps.
Chris

Hey Chris,
Good info. As long as the limited allotment goes to pre-orders, no issues. Of course, that's up to the dealers on who gets what...
Hey TF - there's another thread by Jeremy where he introduced the NightTrain that had pictures in it...
