Well, waiting for a firmly ordered watch to be made and delivered ...
... is not exactly a "waiting list" in my definition. You are aware of the price you'll have to pay for the final product, and (mostly) have at least a rough understanding about the time it will need until delivery.

Waiting lists...
And just out of curiosity 🤔 What waiting lists are you on? What models are you waiting for? Of course, this topic is sensitive, and I suppose most of us will not answer honestly 😅 ...
None!
I stick with my old concept, the brands want to sell, I'm not playing that game of lists, sorry.
I ordered a Sky Moon Tourbillon ...
... for my great great great grandson ... he has to pay for it himself ;-)
None
Typically because I don’t have that type of patience. However the fine folks in Pforzheim are currently building me two watches 😉 Stay tuned for an update in a few weeks !
No games!
I don't mind waitlists, but they way they are handled by big brands like Rolex, Patek, ALS, and AP are outright disrespectful towards customers. There's no real clarity whether the "list" is real, and just seems to require you to buy a bunch of trash that...
The wait is nuts but on the plus side it has kept me from buying anything else since I put my deposit down. It's actually saving me money 😂
I've been trying to ignore it the last few years too hoping it would make the wait go faster and I also held off speccing the watch figuring my tastes would change. I waffled a lot the last few years but it gave me time experience other KV watches which t...
I ordered Ti, still not even sure I'm ready for the upcharge to platinum let alone tantalum. I remember seeing the 44mm tantalum case he did for the MR, epic, downturned lugs, scared to ask the cost :)
Are you thinking tantalum? Bet it would look epic with the dark finish of the inverse! As for the 44mm, I just like big watches. I overlooked getting KV for years not realizing they made a 44mm case so once they confirmed they could do a 44mm in Ti I coul...
Great suggestion, did that 😉
I actually think of De Bethune and Voutilainen as similar in how much both brands do in house. Totally different watches but more than most indies, these two brands share a philosophy of doing as much in house as possible to support their creativity and i...

Something for Him and Her, matching pieces as a Celebration to our wedding anniversary.
36mm and 41mm. Might even change my avatar to it (★‿★)
The AD agreed to put me on the list for a PP5226G
but also strongly suggest that I perhaps look into a diamond watch for the wife while waiting. I guess I am not on any waiting list after all 😅
I’ve been waiting for literally any Tiffany stamped Patek for 4 years.
It’s my wife’s fault. She doesn’t like that store.
What is that Groucho Marx quote: "I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member"?
First world problem: I already 'joined' one club, as I am waiting on a second Patek Aquanaut. The brand is just saving us from having too many watches! Chk
Hahaha! Great quote 😂
That is true. I think that waiting lists have a positive aspect because thanks to them we do not make compulsive purchases. There is usually plenty of time to think about whether it needs another watch 😅
The aquanaut wears well for sure.
In 'R', my spouse is fully on board with the purchase.
How many businesses
end their advertisements with “Don’t call us”? Thanks for that Moser and I won’t.
Yes,
I tend to believe in the “wait lists”. Personally for me most came true with time(except the 5711 white dial). Recently I got the call from VC for the perpetual overseas, in 2020, a Patek 5320 from Tiffany’s, now on the recently confirmed spot on AP offsh...
