I have been on the list for this one since January. I pick her up either today or tomorrow. Let the guessing begin. More hints to follow.

tng11 · 31 July 2018, 10:54 PM

My guess is the FPJ CB!

Well, to be fair, there are only a handful of watches out there that require a wait to acquire, and you added that it was an independent brand, so that eliminates all Pateks, APs and Rolexes...

Regardless, congrats on a great watch. I hope to be getting one myself in the next couple of weeks!

Please post incoming pics and first impressions once you have it in hand.

Congrats!

Thanks. Yes, I figured it would not be too difficult to guess this one. Will post pictures soon.

Congrats in advance!
Please share a lot of photographs.

Love this piece - that's not bad, about a 6-7 month wait. Did you have an existing relationship, and did you put down a deposit?

Would love to add the CS or CB at some point.

tryptobphan · 1 August 2018, 02:53 AM

Definitely post pictures, especially the movement! Great looking watch that I wish I could see in person. I've only seen some of the more expensive models, but the CB is striking in pictures.

I had not made any prior purchases at this AD. I did visit them several times and attended some of their events, and got to know the employees.
I was #10 when I got on the list in January. 2 months later, they had about 30 on the list.
I'm not sure how many pieces they have gotten since I've been on the list, but I know that at least one person (the one ahead me) passed when their number came up.
No deposit was required.

Congratulations! Amazing piece to add to your collection!

Skyrider01 · 2 August 2018, 06:55 AM

Thanks everyone! Here she is. First few pics I was trying some different strap options.
Went with the blue one and the caramel for now. Will most likely add the grey down the road.

SemperFi · 2 August 2018, 08:45 AM

Beautiful watch. Congratulations!

Stunning piece. Congratulations! I don't have the patience to be on a waitlist for a watch so kudos on getting a much sought after piece!

Fantastic! Huge congratulations! That bottomless blue dial is one of the most stunning on a modern watch!

The grey is a fantastic pairing...

Thanks! Yes, I love the look on the grey strap. The only reason I didn't get it yet is because I have 2 other watches with grey straps and nothing on brown / tan. But I will definitely be adding that grey one in the near future.
