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.

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 am curious because I ordered a piece which I thought would have been sold out. But I guess it won't matter in the end as we do love this piece.

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.

Hmmmmm, am not a fan of guessing. E-mail MB&F is a smart idea, just to be sure.

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.
