[time-nuts] M12+ Temp sensitivity

[Randy Warner]

Normand,

We just heard that we should be getting 500 pcs in the June timeframe.
Further quantities will probably not show up until late July or August.

I may be the 259th to ask you, but do you have a date when the new M12M
will be officially available?

I almost have bought a "Resolution T" a few weeks ago when i heard about
the M12+ and it's successor, the M12M. Now i'm waiting! Well... I
know...  this is a forum about time... ;-)

Have a good day!
