The bizarre bucatini shortage, perhaps.

Other brands that make this few don't have as many references. To sustain this many, I'd say they should up their production capacity to 2,500/yr, at least. |

It seems all the top players are singing the same tune now. Just read the recent interview of W. Schmid of Lange (on SJX). He had to emphasize several times throughout the short interview how Lange is very limited in production and demands are not being met. Somehow everyone is playing “hard to get”. I began to wonder wether there are more female members on the board (a good thing) who exactly know how men think... :-)

Someone gotta teach this to Grand Seiko. They make killer watches yet still available no matter how limited the edition.

Personally, part of the attraction to brands like FPJ and Lange to me was that there were no games but FPJ seems to have changed and Lange is too given what they're doing with the Odysseus. My next purchase will definitely be from a small independent like Marco Lang or someone similar.

Please don't GS. There are the few of us who still want to (easily) buy your watches.

Killer watches is subjective, as previous owners of a few GSes, they are beautiful watches with high levels of finishing and detailed dials, but the bracelets need a lot of work, one of the most important parts of a timepiece. The backsides didn't excite me too much either. Probably some of the reasons why they are always available along with the ridiculous prices.

I would laugh at AD SA's that would play those dumb tricks many years ago, now they some start their bs spiel without even me asking or talking to them sometimes. "Rolex is so hard to get, blah blah" "We get 2 per year" when I'm not even standing in the Rolex section or even talking to them. |

I don’t believe that is correct, the Geneva boutique were able to supply several pieces from stock that I was considering when I enquired last month. I didn’t go ahead.

I just can't get over the multiple logo branding on the dial...ml on top and then Marco Lang on the bottom. Just too much distraction for me personally for such beautiful watches. It's a problem I have with Moritz Grossmann too...can't stand that half ring above the name and the brand name takes up half the dial.

I agree on the bracelet. They are not the greatest. I actually don’t find the prices that ridiculous. And you could also get some new with a discount. |

IMHO no one has to. It is already happening. Look at the prices of some long sold-out references, like SBGH267 or SSBGY003 or the Peacock. People finally understood the quality of craftsmanship and astonishing dials of GS. And now - the White Birch (SLGH005) - the demand of this beatiful peace is such high that GS cannot deliver. They even have to postpone market placements of some othe references - like SLGA007 or SBGN019/21/23. IMO it is just the growing demand’s result (driven, to a large extent, by global craziness of Instagram, Facebook and alike). |

In the US, if you are an existing client with a good relationship, you will probably get certain pieces within a year or two. But for others, if you can even get allocated a piece, it will certainly take longer. I enquired about a couple different pieces recently, and was told 1 to 2 years.

You have a point. Same with the SBGH269. However look at models like SBGK004 and the likes with crazy dials and finishing, selling for almost half retail preowned. Those are real limited editions. Even though they are more expensive And made of PM, there is no logic. |

Maybe it is a known fact, but I have just learned that FPJ will only be selling through boutiques starting in 2022. ADs have only been informed this week.

86.000 euro
Well Aurel Bacs clearly said ( if you followed and listened to the auction ) it(s discontinued just like the Patek 5711 ... Something we already knew but something that has influence on the price of course

It is definitely more unique, rare and special than a 5711 ... so ... Not sure it's not worth it :-) And imo more special, better finished and rare than those mediocre quality and overhyped vintage paul Newman Daytona's which are a lot more expensive
