The wait is nuts but on the plus side it has kept me from buying anything else since I put my deposit down. It's actually saving me money π

I've been trying to ignore it the last few years too hoping it would make the wait go faster and I also held off speccing the watch figuring my tastes would change. I waffled a lot the last few years but it gave me time experience other KV watches which totally changed my initial design and now I feel really really good about how I want to spec the watch - a 44mm center seconds. Only question left is case material, platinum or titanium.....

Waiting lists...

And just out of curiosity π€ 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 π

I stick with my old concept, the brands want to sell, I'm not playing that game of lists, sorry.

Typically because I donβt have that type of patience. However the fine folks in Pforzheim are currently building me two watches π 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...

Why not tantalum! Also why 44mm?!

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 donβt think tantalum is as much as the platinum upcharge. I might be wrong...

Great suggestion, did that π

I actually think of De Bethune and Voutilainen as similar in how much both brands do in house. Totally different watches but more than most indies, these two brands share a philosophy of doing as much in house as possible to support their creativity and i...

Hahaha! Great quote π

That is true. I think that waiting lists have a positive aspect because thanks to them we do not make compulsive purchases. There is usually plenty of time to think about whether it needs another watch π

I tend to believe in the βwait listsβ. 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 Tiffanyβs, now on the recently confirmed spot on AP offsh...
