Personally feel a few are making a mountain out of a molehill with the connection system. I've changed straps at least 10 times, maybe 15(!). Easy to do, works great. Still, Czapek listens and makes changes, which shows they truly care. The new bracelet with extensions is great! As the new facility and fine-tuning are coming into place, am sooooo looking forward to seeing more wrist shots from others.

There will alway be a bit of play, as that helps make the bracelet comfortable on the wrist.

Once we settle on the perfect design, there will be retrofits to the existing owners.

Thank you

That looks really good. What did you think of the size and how large is your wrist?

Patek_collector · 21 July 2022, 05:28 AM

40.5 is great. I felt 38 is a bit small for me wven though my wrist is small (17cm)

Mine was due Jan 2023 but accepting it may be later due to all the issues with supply. Good to see a real photo of one :-)

The Glacier blue looks amazing. Do we know yet if any of these have been delivered to US customers? I was supposed to take delivery of mine between June and September of 2022, but last I spoke to my AD, 2022 isn't looking likely. It's a little bit difficult to understand how they are 6 months or so behind before the first delivery has started.

We have not yet delivered one 40.5mm glacier blue nor 40.5 salmon nor any 38.5mm Antarctique to North America.

I am told August/September will have the first deliveries.

That's great news, right around the corner.

Very stunning photos. A bit off topic, but has anyone ever bought or sold from that site before?

Lot of effort in taking photos. The blue looks entirely different to the blue that I have seen in instagram photos/YouTube videos. Looks like powder blue here.

The site takes professional photos and prices are normally inflated as they market heavily their auctions.

You sure, I just read the sites terms and it asks the seller to provide detailed photos or they can suggest a photographer to use. Also checking the sold prices achieved for other models it looks anything but inflated.

Anyhow, there is Glacier Blue from the UK on chrono24 asking £36k (that is inflated ), maybe the same watch.

londonpilgrim · 4 August 2022, 02:22 AM

Am being quoted October no for my 40.5 Glacier Blue... no word on the salmon

Salmon soon I was told, but I don't know what soon means?

Same watch, serial 14304

ChetBaker · 4 August 2022, 11:47 AM

Pfew - I do hope that shade of blue is not what the ice blue looks like in the flesh. It certainly is quite different from what we have seen online and in this thread so far. Perhaps it’s the lighting or the hand of an inexperienced photographer but this blue looks a bit dull and washed out to me. Fingers crossed.

enjoythemusic · 4 August 2022, 12:25 PM

It's lighting. I feel the pics in link below are a good various lighting representations.

I have to admit, I'm getting antsy. I really want to get my watch in hand, but even without any delays, I'm gonna have to wait a good 8 more months.

In the meantime, I'm itching to get a couple of interim watches. Just picked up a GO Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date in Fab Green. Eying an Omega Seamaster 300 in green, a GS SLGH017 or SLGA015.

I'm headed toward financial ruin.

Resistance is futile if you hang around here long enough. Based on your post count I’d run away asap, only gets harder to resist
