Great news from AD - now the wait to 2026!
Delighted to receive the call from my AD who informed me that my application for a customized Voutilainen has been accepted! I was asked to provide as much input as possible for the model, case, dial, color, hands that I want, and share images of inspiration that I have come across. However, the delivery date is 2026
![]() Henceforth starts my Voutilainen journey! I'm soooooo excited now ![]() Will update this thread along the way. Thanks for reading. |

Is it a sign of the times that the delivery date doesn’t sound absurd anymore?

I would agree if we were talking Rolex or Patek etc This is the norm for smaller indies and KV qualifies more than any.

Congrats!
Wow 4 years is a long time. I guess you negotiated a price now, right? Or can it go up over time? Perhaps not a risk for you as you can probably afford it either way, but more for them. |

Beginning of 2025 at that. What are you thinking in terms of the model?
I had a chance to see one in the flesh recently and it was lovely. ![]() ![]() |

![]() I know how the ISO works but do you know what are the differences between Vingt-8 and 28_TE? I can't really tell... The GMT looks good too. Honestly I haven't decided yet. Which one did you get please? ![]() Thanks again bro! You have been a great help and source of info! Really appreciate it. Fantastic 28SC you got there! What a beauty and such a breathtaking dial. ![]() |

I ordered the GMT-6. To be honest, I struggle to decipher the differences between some of the very similar models.

Looking forward to 2026.
How does the payment go? All now or x amount in 2026 at delivery? |

I know and, believe me, I don't see anything wrong with it. My comment was completely related to myself, I don't even know if I will be on this planet in 2026...
