Still, I don't imagine the watch will be any less attractive in 2022-2023, so I'm in for the long haul if necessary.

Demand for the CB has spiked just in the last 9 months or so. A little over a year ago, I walked into the Miami boutique and they had one available for sale right there and then. In January, the list at the same boutique was less than 10 people. Around March is when things started to explode. Miami was around 20 people, Geneva was a year and a half wait. By August, they were saying at least 2 years. And now even longer.
Yes, the time you were quoted could be reduced by people on the list passing, but could also increase if prior customers get in front of you.
When I got on the list in January, I was told around 9 months. I got it in 6. Of course things have changed since then.
Hang in there!
