Time doesn’t fly

Time sure doesn’t fly when it comes to being on the waitlist. AP boutique has been very generous and asked me to go over and try on the 15202st which has already been reserved for a client.

Spent a good hour with it but in the end, I had to let go and continue on the 2 year wait list for this... anyone also on the same bandwagon with me?

I don’t like to wait.

I prefer to pay a premium. Usually. Not always. But usually.

6 months of waiting would be my limit before I looked at other options.

Maybe you get lucky and the 2 years is a very top end estimate.

Half the fun is waiting, but most importantly at least the list exists...

... also curious to know if it is common practise to let other's try on someone else's watch. Win the for the potential/future customer, but if that watch was yours I probably don't want someone else to try it on before I did (just in the odd chance something happens... especially after waiting for a couple years).
