Looks like something is coming from Zelos...anyone camping for it?

Have not had experiences with this brand. They do sell out fast when the order books are open though.

Got to admit they look tempting and fun..

1 hour after launch, non is sold out yet so looks like not as hyped as it was?

Tempted to pick up the bronze/orange dial field 38 but something is still amiss.

Not bad la really, I like the fact that the 40mm + versions seem to have recessed indices.... I've not seen that many nicely done sandwich dials at this price point.

Dont worry nothing is amiss, this round is a large drop, with 200/300 pieces for each variant. They have like 14 variant this round so that's like almost 4000 pieces. Elshan, the founder of Zelos has heard complaints from watch fans that they cant get to buy it as scalpers rush in and buy for resale. So his strategy was to increase the volume of the entry level models so that the store isn't empty and people can actually buy it.

Btw swordfish is their entry level model and probably best seller, so most of the Zelos fans already have at least one in their collection, as Zelos had already released multiple batches for this line. Thats why I think still in stock atm. Personally Im skipping on this batch, I already have 2 Zelos and need something special for my 3rd Zelos  .

My personal pick will be the meteorite dial thought, don't have a meteorite dial in my collection atm and I have a fascination with space and stars.

Source of my info btw, the OP, roadwarrior is probably Zelos biggest fan, he have like over 100 Zelos watches lol.

nice sharing mate, could have been almost perfect if it's 40mm. 38mm is not small but definitely requiring some getting used to. The textured dial is especially cool, bronze + orange is a nice combo to me.

the comparison photo between the 40mm mako, 38mm/42mm aurora shared in the link does look rather significant in size to me although the author says otherwise :p
maybe it's because the picture was not taken with the watches on wrist.
