Very nice indeed! So they made a run of 20 of the 10 day movement, 150 and 50 for the Taipei edition? 3 collections correct? What's the main differences between the 150 edition and 50?

good eye Ren...

With these boutique pieces, if you have some emotional attachments to the places, then its pretty special (numbers aside). The 413 is a keeper as I was born there and I am awaiting the 416 as its my hometown.

Ren..
Most boutiques ended up with 2 SEs. One that is a base and another that has an inhouse 8 or 10 day PR.

When they put a boutique in Texas I will get that piece
I am surprised though they don't have one in Chicago or Texas (not to mention Singapore). |

I must say the 349 makes the 249 and 232 seems like an ordinary watch..

When that 349 was "soft" released, it caused a lot of ruckus within the risti community. Both the way it was released and the controversial dial.
One of 12, you can imagine how many collectors were upset at not being selected. (hmmm...kinnda remind me of certain other PVD base piece)... The Minerva movement is a thing of beauty...

I guess if your are looking for a specific one they would be considered "rare", but if you just want one of the boutique editions they are not that limited. What do they have 5 or 6 boutique editions? I dont really know but am guessing by the model numbers I have seen...
6 boutiques @ 150 ea. = 900 pieces... They made less 176's per year... Hence why the prices are dropping on those boutique "LE's" daily... EDIT: I think they are great and would love to pick one up... for list though. A few weeks maybe :-) |

The key words are "per year"
For the Boutique editions, you get approximately 900 total this year and not again. The 176 is a current production and not discontinued. Good luck in your hunt!

I just took in a 416. Interesting watch.
I really like the unique vintage look. The oem strap was too short for me, I am sending to BHB for a swap to a larger one. Can't wait. I have been wearing it on an oem JV. That brings out the patina on the numbers. Great watch. |
