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.

It starts delivery on March, not by March so there might be more waiting still.

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.

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.

Visited AP house and hence Some AP update for you guys..
26331 planning to be discontinued end of the year and be replaced with a new ref, hence they will no longer take any bookings
15450 white grey and black, currently is on a min 2 years waiting list. blue dial you need purchase history (preferably).

Current Jumbo ref also discontinue. will come with a new ref hence no longer taking any bookings.

15500 you need to purchase a minimum of 4-5 watches before they will even consider to "propose" you as a candidate.



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 sweat.gif sweat.gif

visited AP, spent an hour talking..before ending the chat, the SA proposed bundle purchase, buy code chrono and receive 15500 blue in a few months time.

for the code non chrono, choice is 15500 black / grey / white for the bundle.

Wow your offer is significantly better! Should go for it buddy smile.gif
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😃

Code doesnt look interesting to me. the chrono layout looks like tissot, longines...etc

and no resellers want to trade this model.

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.

With my no-bundle watch, basking in what rays of sun are available (yeah, a thunderstorm is looming outside my window right now).

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.

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.

Btw, I remember you were talking about it, but VC is going to open or has opened a boutique in Pavillion KL.

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 hmm.gif
