It's the most wonderful time of the year. You must've been a good elf.

Well we'll see if RM AD's have been naughty or nice this week.

RM Boutiques are getting -03's, none have hit US AD's, so praying for Christmas surprise this week.

However, if there is coal in the stocking I would not be surprised

Just wait till Mille starts making cases out of coal! For that black on black look.

I have been told that the elves will be delivering it on Thursday!

Looking forward to it--excited the boutique received--you must have been REALLY good this year

Shame only Boutiques are getting the -03's, AD's still nothing yet in US

Oh well...price I pay for loyalty. May need to rethink that in the future

Very excited to end this year on a high note. It's been a great year in terms of collecting, but a stressful year of business growth.

I look forward to a new start in 2017 and sharing it with all you fools ;)

That being said, I will be taking a MAJOR hiatus from the forum and watches as my daughter is due in January!

Don't hold your breath. I've heard that RM more or less shuts down production for the month of January. Perhaps (hopefully?) you've heard different?

Yes, but like most times, RM US most likely has these sitting in their safe.

It's a matter of trickling them out at their own pace.

It's all a game they play and most likely have 10-12 made and in US.

Have seen it happen many times before, but again it's all RM games.

I hate them for that

(But yes, in general, RM is hit and miss in Jan due to SIHH).
