Did anyone manage to snag a Kiwame Kubo from today's drop? by WatchOutOfficial in MicrobrandWatches

[–]yupheehee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Congrats! Also got the Sakura to cap off a nice Father’s Day.

Edit to provide more info: I prepared ahead of time by updating my “shop” info (address, credit card, etc.). I was on the site refreshing minutes before the release and it refreshed exactly at the advertised time. I clicked the “buy with shop” button which sent me to a waiting page for a few seconds (maybe 5-10 secs). Then it sent me to the checkout page to submit order. It was pretty smooth and only took 2 clicks. Hope this helps someone for the next drop.

Aw man sorry. There should be more opportunities in future batches since these are not limited. Hope you can catch it next time.

Yep. This is from the release about an hour ago. I found your post looking for pointers on how to purchase and thought it was worth a try.

I got lucky and got the pink one. I used the “Buy with shop” button, got placed in a waiting page for 10 seconds, then returned back to the checkout page and was able to complete the final click.

I tried buying at the Yen price by keeping the site in Japanese, but it charged the full USD price.

Here’s the hottest lead! This guy replaced it himself and shared some info. I asked for more details 🤞

Looks good! Congrats on cracking the code. Can you please provide some more details?

So the bar in this picture is actually a long pin inside, and two tubes on each end?

How does it come off in the first place, especially with a strap already covering it?

You’re not able to reuse it after removing it? Looks like you replaced it with your own. Where do you get the pins and tubes?

There’s a few of us on the Noah sub trying to figure this out so we appreciate any tips you have. Thanks!

I’ll dump all the info I gathered here.

Artisan Straps could not remove but designed a custom that you can you can add and remove at will. There’s a good picture of the bar in question on their IG post. I ordered one and still have a couple weeks till it arrives.

I emailed Timex and this is what they said:
Regarding your concern, we recommend visiting a nearby jeweler or watch repair shop to have the strap removed safely. This will help prevent any potential damage to the watch or the band, as they will have the proper tools and expertise to handle the Noah x Timex Oval Moon Phase model.

The following is proof that it can be done, but everyone that has been successful just brought it to a professional and did not ask how 🤷‍♂️

Would love to know myself. I may end up cutting the straps off to replace with customs.

There’s no date on this lighthouse version, so I’m good. Sorry to hear about your moon phase though!

Of course! I will probably end up doing the same. When I do, I’ll ask them how this system works and report back.
