if this simplifies the waitlist procedure im all in. E commerce means full price, BUT simplifying and centralizing 15407 and 15202 for example is actually a great idea if they did that. Order online, get in the queue and await delivery.

Selling slow movers at e commerce prices, won't work.


Its also worth noting they cant even get the watches they just released listed properly on their website without a ton of errors and now they are going to sell them via the website? Who knows what you'll get. Knowing my luck with AP, Ill get a purple diver delivered.

Francois also mentions e-commerse in the interview on SIHH LIVE. He also talks about volumes and confirms that they won't ramp up production.

According to the interview about 22 min in, he drops the bomb. Brand new line being introduced at SIHH 2019.

Revolution is my favorite watch magazine. Wei also publishes Rake, another great magazine.

Wei is the man! I love to count the number of times he will say yes in any interview lol but he’s really a class act across the board!

I have a hard time believing FBH, as I remember an interview from a while back that stated in-house chronograph movement was complete and going to be released very soon...

Yes, he's a bit of a showy salesman, but better than dull and uninspiring.

Its the timing of the release. They don't need to drop it now as people are clearly not avoiding the reference because its not in house. They just updated the ROC and i think they will let these sell for a bit before making them obsolete. Its actually a good sign they are not rushing it, as im sure they are still tweaking it.
