I’d hate to see it become yet another target for cynics.

I agree. It's a challenge for any company that can sell more than they can make. Czapek is fundamentally a company comprised of true watch lovers that want to deliver something unique and wonderful to their customers. I'm glad that so far, they are directing their resources towards making the pieces their customers want, rather than limiting production of the entry line to push customers towards other offerings. It would be a tragedy, in my opinion, for them to go down the AP CODE road. If they spend a year just making the references that people want, I think it's great. I don't need yet another of my watches to cost twice as much to replace as I'd purchased it for in the event of loss/theft.
On that note I stopped into the FPJ boutique to check it out, put some faces to names, and inquire about servicing my CS. It was great! Got to try on a couple pieces, see some other wonders, check out straps, and talk about other watch brands. I was wearing my Passage de Drake and it was my pleasure to chat with the advisor about this exciting up and coming independent and have him try it on for a bit. Czapek is definitely generating buzz out there.
