I have a shipping confirmation and the tracking number is up ($150 tier). FedEx says my package is 2.1lbs and is 6x4x1 in. In my experience 1 inch thick isn't usual for higher end watch boxes so it isn't likely to be anything terribly special, but 2.1 lbs is fairly heavy so either it's a big watch with a normal size manual or it's got a hellacious amount of paperwork accompanying it!

RiehlOh btw, I built a spreadsheet for the 150$ group listing estimated package dimension and shipping weight for most of the watches, based on AZN. No gaurantee of accuracy is made and it seems many watches ship in "4.7x4.7x4.7" boxes including the Montblanc -- but that's if you buy from AZ. YMMV. I'm around 21 in and haven't found a match for my box yet haha
EDIT: Couldn't find a match for my watch! Only a couple are that heavy, but the box sizes are too big. 13 of the 52 models had no data available and all the data is unreliable anyway. Guess it's still the waiting game! :P

RiehlJust got my dimensions: 3.4 lbs, 14x11x7 inches. Not sure what that means if anything...

RiehlI'm in the 150 tier. Just received shipping notification - 10 x 7 x 6 at 2.1 lbs. Based on your research, what would you guess mine is? I'm guessing yours could be the FIYTA 3D-Time Automatic Watch? Total guess....

russsertWow, that's really heavy! Y'all, I think these are being shipped in MD boxes that may change the dimensions somewhat. Going by weight seems right. Russsert nothing in the $150 tier is that heavy-- but if you got multiple watches, that would explain why you got such a huge box-- its definitely sized/weighted for 2. Yamm: I'm away from my spreadsheet right now but there were many watches in the .7-.8 weight range, something like a third of the tier. IIRC there were several really special ones in that weight range. Goofydanish: You and I both got packages in nearly the same size/weight it which I'll be checking into when I get back to the sheet, there are fewer things that heavy.

goofydanishMy package is the same as yours 10x7x6, 2.1 lbs so in guessing were getting the same watch in the $150 tier. Since someone else had the same it's probably one of the lesser models.

JlczlYes, at this point, I think we can both rule out the pricier watches but through process of elimination (since we know that Riehl, you and I have packages of the same dimensions), we can guess that it could be one of the following:
- Glycine Airman DC-4 Automatic Watch - 3
- Victorinox Alpnach Auto Chrono Watch - 5
- Tissot Tradition Quartz Watch - 8
- Bulova Accutron II "Snorkel" Quartz Watch - 5
- Mondaine Stop2Go Watch - 3
- Vostok-Europe GAZ-Limo Dual Time Automatic Watch - 4
- Seiko Prospex SSC Solar Flight Watch - 4
- Suunto Core Quartz Watch - 3
- Orient Eclipse Automatic Watch - 3
- Victorinox Chrono Classic XLS Watch - 4
- Seiko "Fifty Fathoms" SNZH Watch - 6
- Seiko "Sea Urchin" SNZF Watch - 3

goofydanishActually, if all Glycines boxes are the same, it may also be any of the other Glycine watches in the $150 tier. I'm hoping for any of them except for the Glycine Airman Quartz!

JlczlMy package finally shows delivery status as of this morning but the dimensions changed to 9 x 9 x9. The weight (2.1 lbs) stayed the same but based on other posts on this forum, 10 x 7 x 6 dimensions does not necessarily mean it's a Glycine so its back to the drawing board. I guess I should just give up guessing but it sure is fun and entertaining! I'm just hoping that I won't get any of the Seiko 5's or Suunto's....

goofydanishThe only one I don't care for is the Suunto. What did you end up receiving?

JlczlMine won't be delivered until 4/11/2019 which sucks because I won't be in town. I am dying with anticipation but I guess that's part of the fun.
Are your dimensions still listed as 10 x 7 x 6 @ 2.1 lbs?

RiehlWell, it's more so about the value. I own several Seiko 5's myself but I wouldn't pay $150 for either the Sea Urchin or Fifty Fathoms. Both of those you can buy from various sources for substantially less. The whole point of this mystery watch sweepstakes is to get a watch that exceeds the value you paid for as opposed to a watch that is less.
Just my opinion..
