As far as I am aware, It has 2 spring bar HOLES on each lug.

2 Spring bar holes on each lug (1 for bracelet and 1 for straps). Only use 1 spring bar at a time. Still a PITA until you get used to how to finagle the bracelet back on. After some practice it's not so bad, you just have to make sure to limit the inevitable damage to the underside of the lugs.

Which sums up my original statement (A HUGE PAIN IN THE ARSE).

This now makes sense to me thank you Litlmn for explaining!!

I wonder if the Harpoon is set up the same way with the 2 spring bars? I may be ordering the white face full lume version of that watch also.

NO, the Harpoon is normal , one spring bar.

I believe the reason for this set up on the Cave Dweller.(and very similar on Lum-tec 300) is the design of the lugs and the fit of the rubber.

For the Cave Dweller, the rubber strap is a fitted one, and the different lug holes allow the bracelet or rubber to fit properly to case. Same on the Lumtec....the first holes are for the bracelet, the second for the strap which allows a tighter fit without a gap.
But for me, this watch looks the best on the bracelet, even though I am a strap guy, certain watches to me dont look right on straps, and this is one of them. (again, to me)

This is a Old List that needs to be updated. I took Adams #47 spot on the list.

Looking at this list, I was wondering if indeed there are two spots open on the pre-order? If so, I would like to take one of those spots. If not, is there anyone looking to give up their spot and I could take over it? Let me know. Thanks, Jorge
P.S. - I would also be interested in buying a Cave Dweller 2 with a blue dial if anyone has one for sale.

This was a running list as we were doing the preorder

These sold out in 2 days. All sold out as the title and main post says.

Post a WTB ad in the sales section. If someone wants to give up their spot they will contact you.

Not at this time. Things just tend to come together all at once. This is not a new design so there should be no surprises. Still on target for a late July completion. If I receive notice to the contrary, I will post here. Thanks

They have changed a bunch since the initial preorder.
Any numbers in this list were a running list from preorder.
