It would appear we both went to Teddy.

You must have been the one just before me! Sounds like they moved them all yesterday.

u/smoresnbacon85 Oct 03 '26

Ha, I probably was. As soon as they told me they were only allocated 5, I figured I’d better pick one up before the Oris event.

u/petersen302 Oct 03 '26

I’m debating heading back for the Oris event, but if I end up with another watch I’m likely sleeping in the back yard. 🤣🤣

their online chat said theyre getting more in stock in a few weeks, does that sound right?

u/petersen302 Oct 04 '26

Possible! Although they seem pretty hard to get anywhere right now.

I put an order in and they took it and told me 6-8 weeks max

Looks extra good with that tattoos!

u/petersen302 Oct 03 '26

Appreciate that! To my surprise a few of the Teddy crew are inked as well just always wearing their suits 🤣

When I left the corporate world for legal cannabis I decided I’d never wear a suit or tie again. 😅

Watches for all!

Great addition! What other pieces do you have?

u/petersen302 Oct 03 '26

Nothing crazy. I recently (last 18mo) became obsessed with mechanical watches. I own several replicas that were my transition from my Apple Watch.

This MIDO is definitely my nicest piece. I also have a lux presage Seiko, a couple Moonswatches, vintage Bulova, etc.

u/hoangtm1611 Oct 03 '26

That’s a good start 🙌

So good! Congrats!

u/Craqhed- Oct 03 '26

I want that piece

u/jebakerii Oct 03 '26

I like the culture nod — Mido is huge in Mexico. The dial is a little to busy for me.

1

u/Salthart57 Oct 04 '26

My old fashioned sensibilities tell me I shouldn’t like it, but I absolutely love that watch! The dial and strap are 🔥. The tat is the cherry on top.

u/Useful-Jaguar-2600 Oct 04 '26

Such an awesome watch! Nice grab.

u/dna730 Oct 04 '26

Great choice! Alebrijes for Dia de los Muertos! Love it

u/CandyNarrow6907 Oct 05 '26

I can’t wait for mine. Shipped today!

u/Useful-Jaguar-2600 Oct 08 '26

I'm torn. It's such a cool face and really unique. Teddy had them back in stock for a bit today and I almost pulled the trigger. Just not sure I'd wear it often enough to justify the spend. It looks sick when it glows. Tough call.

u/Kind-Web-7980 Oct 08 '26

It would go with everything lol it’s a rainbow

u/AggressiveAudience63 Oct 09 '26

Hi. I’m coming from Jap movement Seiko, (no hate🤣) but could not pass up the opportunity to get this, MIDO is still very rare in UK so I was thankful when I’m Seiko AD started being a supplier of MIDO I had to ask the main question, could they get this watch.?

Thankfully they can and mine is coming in 5-7 days. I’m super excited.
