I'm guessing Mr. Mngambler picked his up at the GTG. Any idea of when a ss sixpounder will ship?
Mngambler: looks fantastic. I was torn between HS and SP...I hope I made the right call. I am normally more conservative like the Holystone.. trying to step out a little bit.
Congrats to Josh and Troy. I'm sure it has been like giving birth (if you were an elephant).

(Can't wait. Glad I got in on the pre order.)
yup I met Josh and Troy last Friday, it was pretty sweet to pick it up and meet those guys, best part is they are just 2 regular "joe's" who have a passion for dive watches just like the rest of us. Lets face it nobody is trying to get rich here I imagine after designing, parts, paying for assembly, etc. I can't imagine there is a huge profit margin on a <$700 watch with great specs.
As far as the watch, I'm seriously loving it so far, the size is absolutely perfect. I never really imagine wearing a 18 or 19mm thick watch, at 44mm x 14mm it wears very comfortable esp. on zulu/nato and isofrane. I was overly impressed with the bracelet, very comfortable, very beefy and solid feeling, but lack of micro extension is a negative. Some other things I really love about the Holystone is the clean dial, nice big round indices (think seiko sumo) as well as the hands and the contrast of color between all 3 :thumbup:
I won't speak for Josh or Troy but I'd be willing to bet if you don't think the 6lb. is for you I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem with swapping it for the Holystone as long as you don't size it or remove the stickers
