Well, waiting for a firmly ordered watch to be made and delivered ...

Waiting lists...

And just out of curiosity ๐ค What waiting lists are you on? What models are you waiting for? Of course, this topic is sensitive, and I suppose most of us will not answer honestly ๐

Typically because I donโt have that type of patience. However the fine folks in Pforzheim are currently building me two watches ๐ Stay tuned for an update in a few weeks !

I don't mind waitlists, but they way they are handled by big brands like Rolex, Patek, ALS, and AP are outright disrespectful towards customers. There's no real clarity whether the "list" is real, and just seems to require you to buy a bunch of trash that...

Interesting! Excited to see how it turns out. There was a larger inverse that recently came up at auction btw. At inichen or however you spell it lol. Really cool specs too! Btw, I donโt think tantalum is as much as the platinum upcharge. I might be wrong...

I tend to believe in the โwait listsโ. Personally for me most came true with time(except the 5711 white dial). Recently I got the call from VC for the perpetual overseas, in 2020, a Patek 5320 from Tiffanyโs, now on the recently confirmed spot on AP offsh...
