The Phoenix has arisen

Looks like the first batch were delivered today to those with an allocation :)

[rolleyme]

Mine was shipped Wed. Expecting delivery on Monday.

Delivery moved up and received it this evening. Not bad delivery times. Took 2 days from UK to US. First thoughts... it's light. I'm use to wearing PM watches. Under my lighting conditions, dim, the dial color looks flat, almost like Mclaren orange. Will see tomorrow when it's under the sun and brighter lighting.

Wonder if I’ll be getting an email soon….ordered mine in early January

The Oompah Band is ready to welcome my Phoenix to Virginia - but I have not received my shipping notice yet.

[JasH]

It's shipping in batches, as the watches pass QC. Mine arrived today.

CW did manage to effect the changes I requested to the prototype

The production version dial is deeper brushed, but the effect is only visible to me under a loupe. My son can see the deeper brush lines with naked eye though.

So it looks marginally nicer than the prototype in all lighting. It's at its best under ceiling LED lights in my opinion.

The case back is also improved, in terms of the finish surrounding the Phoenix motif.

I hope everyone is as pleased with it as I am

I will definitely be one someday But not yet...not yet

Finally got some wrist time with "Bell" today and it certainly pops in the right lighting. The color ranges from mid orange to deep orange. Love the effect of the sunburt effect as it rotates around the clock. Usually this happens at the center of the dial but because the clock is not in the center. Extremely comfortable to wear and likely going to buy a couple of 3rd party straps. Thanks Jas, it came out great and pleased with the final product.

Glad you're enjoying it

The dial is absolutely stunning!

That is stunning. I wish they offered that as a regular piece. Or even more, I wish I had been able to buy it to the deal. Probably the only color I would choose over the purple.

Hi Jas I got mine today. The ding is perfect. The face is so well designed that any pictures don’t do it Justice. I took a few to send to friends but it doesn’t look how it does on the wrist. Thank you for giving me an opportunity to buy it.

Major congrats to everyone who got one

[Madman37]

It so amazing everytime it chimes it leaves you with such a nice feeling

[Ghost410]

I really hate that I missed the boat on this one

[JasH]

Awesome!

Congratulations Watchflair & Madman, and I'm glad you love the watch

Look out for your emails shortly about the Jade Dragon launch later today

“Houston, Tranquility Base Here. The Phoenix has Landed.”

Well, this watch is... amazing. The color of the dial is incredible in the sun, but even its lume is top notch in the dark. I tried to take some pictures, but it's hopeless, they don't even come close to this magic. And then I didn't even say a word about the chime. It's great

Thanks for this masterpiece!

Seems like it was sold for $8.401...

What a dishonest "owner".

[Madman37]

What it actually sold?!

[rolleyme]

Freaking flippers.. hate these guys. Smh.

[JasH]

Well, he won't get another bespoke from me ever again.

And I'm currently working on my next special one. And it's very special indeed.

My most recent one was the Jade Dragon, which sold out in under 2 minutes

I'm already curious what it will look like.

Nice hommage to H. Moser

Guess CW is done with Czapek hommage timepieces and moving to H. Moser. Which brand do you think CW will hommage after H. Moser?
