Looks like the brushed bracelet is a factory option now!

Yep that was a mistake which I pointed out to them yesterday evening. It looked for a moment as if their production capacity suddenly doubled at least.

They have still not revealed the new 38.5mm case and the 2 new dials. There are articles on Fratello and Monochrome describing the new dials. Neither of them mentions the 38.5 option.

Anyways, having seen additional good quality photos I have made my mind to go with the Glacier Blue.

Thanks for pointing out the Fratello/Monochrome articles... so happy to finally see some salmon/sand photos! I am really liking the more muted salmon tones!

I think the smaller option will be revealed at W&W

congrats! we'll have to compare photos when these come in--I went with all the opposite options basically:

38.5mm, salmon dial, double stick index, all silver hand, regular bracelet.

[sgrossma]

I really love the idea of an all red hand, but sadly not sure if it will mix with salmon.

The "salmon" version is

Love it.

All silver

Great video showing off the two new dial colors.

If you are still debating over ordering a Czapek Antarctique just an idea it is good to hurry up.

Since I was debating over choosing production date of my piece I took some print screens of their production calendar for Nov & Dec 2022 in order to make the decision. Since Sunday - 27 days became blank (all remaining [12] days in Nov and 15 in Dec). Merely today 5 days have been reserved.

It is great that seemingly some substantial portion of these orders came from our community.

BTW - the very good news are that Xavier is out of surgery and recovering well

That's wonderful news, thanks for the update.

The movement looks pretty rough in that video....

[rag5178]

I thought it looked a bit rough too. It’s also odd that the case back is marked as the monochrome white edition. Assuming this is some kind of prototype meant to show the dial and not the movement.

[enjoythemusic]

Looks like one of Czapek's 'workhorse / test' movements, so it's obviously not a piece being sent to a customer. Think the real goal of the video was to showcase color-accurate dials under controlled lighting / light temperature. The Sand / Salmon color especially, and wow there's amazing visual depth!

Mid January 2023 is the earliest now on the website. Let's see if we can get it to 2024 by EOD? Does anyone else want to order a few more?

^^^ ROFL!

Even I LOL'ed at Elon's $420 remark a while back. Guess I was the fool (bravo Elon!) as it's over $900 now. Plus the Bugatti versus Tesla drag race is an eye-opener considering the price differential. Again, bravo Elon!

Anthony at TPG spotted over the weekend in his Rattrapante saying they are going above 200k by year end

Who? Oh... that.

[dchang81]

What's the typical lead time to receive the watch after the build date? Also how much does customs usually run for US customers?

[Allanmodel]

I've just received a message from them regarding my salmon dial and the delivery date is around July to September~~

[GeraldGentaFan]

I can see that the glacier blue dial is available to order on the website, but not the salmon. Where did you order this version?

Unless you want 38.5 it appears to have sold out before launch.

I've ordered it since last year November.

[jcarm981]

This may be stupid but some of the original images had a black number on the date disk and thought it looked a little strange. The final appears to be white number and salmon or “sand” background whatever you want to call it. Much better

[MostlyCloudy]

january's gone too

[bibbi]

Love the black (or maybe grey?) logo. And the black/grey bridges.
