Sounds almost like I'm having a baby in 12 months 🤣🤣🤣
Have to agree though, it is a bloody long wait. Gotta keep occupied in the mean time. Good thing it was only half now, half later. This post has been edited by pleasuresaurus: Apr 17 2021, 01:59 AM |

It starts delivery on March, not by March so there might be more waiting still.Look forward to seeing wristshots 12 months later That was playing in my mind when I opted out. Those who are buying the first batch of around 300? is looking at October for delivery. So that's a lead time of about 6 months. Now the open window had about 2000 pieces so I'm wondering can do so it all by March, if the lead time for 300pcs is already 6 mths. But not bad, 10mins got them 20mil revenue lol. |

QUOTE(Chinoz @ Apr 17 2021, 11:11 AM) I salute him for doing the 10 minute buffet though, at a time when everyone is trying to be "exclusive" and playing the hard to get model. I think Ming has made it clear, as with many of the smaller brands, is that they are not looking at limited edition for the sake of it, rather they can't scale as one might think they will.People wants that artisan experience and is surprised when it comes with the fact that they can only do so much. It's like wanting Van Gogh to draw them a Starry Night then gets mad when he can't produce 100 of them a day. Or like hurling abuse at FP Journe because he can't do more than a handful a year. I can guarantee you come March, there will be plenty of angry emails demanding their watches. |

That it is quite likely. The subsequent followup email begins to set the expectation that it may be up to May before the can start sending. I suppose it depends on the individual - someone just keen on hype n wanting to flip would be quite anxious to get the unit to resell.

Just did a booking for a 26315 with an potential estimated arrival at Q3 2022. AP are very smooth with the words they use, they will never reject your request, nor will they say "no we cant sell you this". it will always turn around and goes back into the topic of purchase history |

Wow your offer is significantly better! Should go for it buddy for the code non chrono, choice is 15500 black / grey / white for the bundle. My SA did not offer a “price indication” for bundle, but more towards on the number of watches I should buy. 26331 was the purchase for 2020, 15450’s is my purchase for 2021. Gonna hit my 3rd purchase with an offshore diver and hopefully get allocated for 15500😃 |

Boy am I glad I snatched this while I still could even though it was from a grey. What they're asking for this nowadays is just ridiculous. Assuming you really intend to buy for keeps and not to flip, I really wouldn't advocate playing these "bundling" games with the ADs. If you're willing to be drawn into that dark abyss you're better off getting one through a grey, or better yet, explore other brands like VC. rx330 liked this post

QUOTE(Kelvw @ Apr 14 2021, 05:26 PM) the Overseas does wear a bit bigger due to the integrated bracelet. It flares out too much on my small slim wrist. I've tried it on so many times and had to give it a pass, and I've across the blue dial numerous times before all these crazes for one. But it's fantastic if you have a moderate to big wrist. Btw, I remember you were talking about it, but VC is going to open or has opened a boutique in Pavillion KL.UK list has already closed and no longer accepting orders until maybe the orders has been fulfilled, most likely a 6 months opening. It's mad with all the sudden rush for a sports model. |

Can anyone recommend a good, affordable watch winder for at least 4 watches?
I have a winder for 2 watches and since my modest collection is growing, I'm looking for a bigger watch winder |
