lol ... I guess it was more of a speculation that Henry filled a contact a whiles back, after which I didn't see a solid movement of lights. However, after reading that post, I "thought" we would start seeing, as mentioned solid movement e.g. orders filled and AD's showing stock.
When did you order your HDS?

Ever since I learned about HDS, I've wanted a Rotary. It's just discouraging when confronted with the product delivery issues.
This is one reason why I really hope Henry can get a grasps on the problem/s that's keeping him for producing his lights.

well, i'm about 7 months behind you in line i guess, having ordered the same model on 12 nov 2012. i keep telling myself at least i didn't go for the rotary. hopefully folks will start getting those in and we'll hear the reviews although i'm not interested unless it can be fully manipulated with one hand.
thanks for the report. nam-era vet here as well although thankfully i was never in-situ.

That's a 15 MONTH wait!!!
I have a trip coming up in a week which I would have loved to have my Rotary for but being I've only been waiting 10 months I'm 99% sure that won't be happening.

I wonder why Henry keeps telling people it's 10 weeks for new custom rotary orders...

Whoops! Just looked at the box and saw that it was actually posted 02 JUL 2013. So 4 days credit there.
I would also like to point out that when I ordered I told Henry (in the special instructions part of the order form) that I knew he was under the gun in terms of production and I didn't care how long it took to receive the light as long as it was up to his high standards. And I meant it. My only concern over the course of the 15 months was that he may have sent the light and it got lost in the mail. Nevertheless, I only contacted him once about 6 months ago just to make sure I was still on his radar. And like folks say, when the flashlight did arrive it was a great surprise.
Some manufacturers of custom gear provide the customer with an order identifier and then post the order queue on their website. While it may not provide anticipated or actual build dates, it shows the customer status. Not a bad way of doing business and something HDS may want to consider.
And Benchiew... I would post a pic, but it's your basic rotary with a black bezel.

I am surprised by 2 turns of events tonight, that Oveready had a few in stock, and that the HDSSYSTEMS website is down. Coincidence?
Could not find any over the oveready site

Then suffice to say I am looking forward to my 2 new HDS lights!
That's because they are all sold out within 30mins
