Ironically, I'm on day 3 of my own cold as a result of drinking too much cold water in quick succession.... Too dumb on my end, but I'm already feeling better, in a couple more days I'll be 100% again. Wish you a quick recovery, the Ed will help considerably to that end ....
. . . my order was placed last year in early spring, and delivered this year late spring. As far as I know, boutiques are either no longer taking orders or informing clients the wait could be as long as five years. I got my nephew on the LA Boutique's list; he's prepared to wait as long as it takes. Art
Does this mean that production is ending or something else?
My wait time for the Ed was about 8-9 months. It is stretching to way way over a year now. The boutique here has stopped taking new orders until the existing order backlog can be cleared.
. . . that they can't reliably predict when delivery will be made. If you were a retailer and took a deposit on a watch that could take up to five years to deliver, would you really want the responsibility that goes along with the extended time frame? My nephew tried to get on the San Diego Boutique's list unsuccessfully. The LA boutique put him on their list most likely as a courtesy to me.
Declared interest at my hometown's retailer last week, asking whether I might see one upon arrival of the 2 or so I assumed they'd receive annually. Right... Turns out they haven't seen a single one yet. Pre-ordered in 2019, they said. Cheers Marc
