wtf for? they're certainly not going to sell the gold editions in the
same numbers as the other two versions.

the highest priority should be the ones that are going to sell the
most, which is *not* the gold version.

don't be stupid. apple probably sold way more than 1000 gold editions
*already*.

they sold out of the initial batch in just *hours* and if this launch
is like previous ones, it's probably several *million* watches. assume
1% want gold (probably low but it's as good a guess as any), that's
tens of thousands in *just* preorders.

or maybe the gold version is in higher demand than apple thought it
would be.
