Welp, RIP the dream my friends...
As expected, MD doesn't have any other timepieces available, so they'll refund the purchase. They did include a prepaid UPS shipping label, so that's very much appreciated.
Steinhart offers a hand-wound Marine Regulator in 42mm, but it doesn't have lume and I'm not too keen on it's styling. I've been eyeing the new Nav B-Uhr A-Type Dual Time (GMT) in 44mm, so maybe I'll go with that piece, or just save the money for another future purchase.
The cheapest price for the set offered here with the rubber and titanium bracelets is $2,700 on Amazon, but the only vendor with stock doesn't ship to Puerto Rico... bummer.
Anyway, I want to thank all the replies and I hope the rest of the drop participants receive perfect timepieces. Also, thanks to MD support for the swift reply and resolution to the matter.
Also, about the "Returns Dept." shipping label... the vendor placed it so USPS would know where to return the package if it got lost in transit. Explanation by MD support makes sense.
Roger that, thanks for the confirmation! How's the accuracy from the factory? My Aquis likes to run four seconds fast while worn and goes racing (+15 seconds) while resting dial up.
