Yes. I own 2 MkII watches now, and that one (my 3rd) is on order.

Thanks, but neither of those are mine. The one on the right is owned by someone who attended a meet this weekend where the prototypes of the watch on the left were shown. The one on the left is going to have a "big crown", but for the time being it's got a makeshift one in the prototype mockup.

The thread I linked to has more photos and info.

I'd suggest spending time on the MkII forums (at Watchseek) and keep an eye out for the final 100 pieces. The first 200 are spoken for and the manufacturer won't say when the final 100 go on sale.

The MkII website used to have basic info about the watch (I think it's gone), but they'll probably put it back up there when they open up ordering again.
