The Horology Hunger Games: May the odds be forever in your favor!
All joking aside, as I know that the MB&F team struggled and really wanted to figure out a fair way to execute this project, I do have to say this is a fair system. Unlike the system at Rolex, which goes to whichever customer is going to buy more jewelry from the jeweler, this is a fair way to ensure everyone has a chance to get a watch!

Same here
Unfortunately not one of the lucky allocated . Still i believe this is a very fair way to go VS what is done in most of the other big brands for new comers. In the same spirit i have appreciated a lot the CZAPEK communication saying that they are closing ...
I agree
AP, ROLEX always have a long waiting list, sometimes over 7 years. I don't think I can wait 7 years just for a watch with mass production.
