Good luck with that. Personally, I would think twice before I ever buy another trinket from Wise. Nice trinkets, but the after sales service blows.

The Miyota 9019 has some sticking issues with the threading and winding. They were very receptive with questions before I purchased, but crickets afterwards.

5 minutes I can live with. It gives someone who plans ahead a comfortable time to be logged in and ready to make the purchase. It's the sub 15 seconds for the extremely limited runs that trigger me.

That said, it's nice to see Elshan's business is succeeding to the point where he can produce higher inventory and not worry about having 90% of the stock sell out within hours. Kind of surprised that the MoP is still available. Might tempt me later on in the day.
Got a burnt orange

The aventurine was sold out in 5 mins!

It wasn't five minute .. minutes and seconds, 02:40 to the sold out
 
Decided to sit this one out. Already have 2 mop bezels and really couldn't justify adding another. Gonna sit back and wait on this. Exited to see the other versions. TB2qvFT.jpgFzihDGG.jpg
 
I likely won't even get that one. The sub dial way of telling time doesn't do anything for me. I'm going to try and downsize in 2024. Nearing the 400 mark with 56 being Zelos doesn't leave much to be desired, but moving many would be a nice goal for the coming year.

My ex bite the dust suddenly on December 7th and after seeing all the manure going on my kids have to muddle through, etc. I want to leave as little material things in this world as possible. Lighten the burden so there will be a lot less trinkets they will have to toss in the trash for sure.

 
After waiting a day. I decided on going for the MOP. I don’t have anything like this in my collection and really like this contrast.

Dang! Good thing it was a Zelos and not a forest fire.
Took me way to long to decide whether to STAY or to GO.
Anyway I got the color I first intended to get from the lot and...
It is a Zelos so there' no way I will be disappointed, right.

Time to decide is not a bad thing. Except for the few colors that did sell out due to popularity and scalpers with the MOP and Aventurine fever. Elshan increasing the inventory was meant to give folks more time to decide. Instead of making a rash, impulsive decision when quantities were lower hopefully those days are all gone. Making the next option to buy from SeriousWatches when they drop to avoid the vulture like scalpers.

The flip side of the coin is having haters who bash the brand for one reason or another. One idiot was selling the idea that Zelos was encouraging the scalpers. One person who used to be a member here, but left on his own accord. Felt the need to compare Zelos with Invicta about how bland they were versus the look of Invicta trinkets. I'm glad that crybaby is long gone. He is still as fragile as ever if you should make an observation on older build versus new stuff from Invicta. He still lurks here under another name.
