How is “Enquire” different than “waitlist” on MB&F website?
Out of curiosity. How is a piece being marked as “Enquire” different than waitlist?
Does it mean the piece is available but you need to email and ask? |

Enquire to me means you need to talk to them for availability and price.
Wait list means you’re on a list to purchase _____ item whenever they decide to sell you one. Sent from my Apple privacy invasion product |

I'd e-mail and ask them. If I may ask, which model(s) are you thinking of getting?

I am curious as I thought one of the reference should have been sold out but it is showing as Enquire. I guess it is still available then, it used to be that you are just buy on the eshop with a few clicks if it is available.

Take this with a grain of salt as this was about a year and a half ago. The LM101 was officially sold out at my AD and also on their website. I hit the waitlist button and within hours I got an offer to place a 50% deposit for an allocation in 2.5 years. I felt it was too long to lock up that much money so I didn't go for it. Moral of the story is put yourself on that list and who knows what becomes available.

I had the same experience with the LM101. I clicked on the waitlist button and was offered at about 12 months wait (very soon after the announcement) with 50% deposit. I ended up sticking with my usual AD and he came through and got me the piece in about 6 months. Loyalty pays off in this case. |

Congrats! Watches Of Switzerland only desired a 10 or 15 percent deposit, though my waiting time for the LM101 Willy Wonka is ~18 months through them (hoping now for July 2023 delivery).

Actually got my answer via my AD to MB&F. It looks like there is still one piece left for the reference I am interested in. |
