Incoming! First Indie.

I have been on the list for this one since January. I pick her up either today or tomorrow. Let the guessing begin. More hints to follow.

Well, to be fair, there are only a handful of watches out there that require a wait to acquire, and you added that it was an independent brand, so that eliminates all Pateks, APs and Rolexes...

Regardless, congrats on a great watch. I hope to be getting one myself in the next couple of weeks!

Please post incoming pics and first impressions once you have it in hand.

Thanks. Yes, I figured it would not be too difficult to guess this one. Will post pictures soon.

Love this piece - that's not bad, about a 6-7 month wait. Did you have an existing relationship, and did you put down a deposit?

Would love to add the CS or CB at some point.

Definitely post pictures, especially the movement! Great looking watch that I wish I could see in person. I've only seen some of the more expensive models, but the CB is striking in pictures.

I had not made any prior purchases at this AD. I did visit them several times and attended some of their events, and got to know the employees.
I was #10 when I got on the list in January. 2 months later, they had about 30 on the list.
I'm not sure how many pieces they have gotten since I've been on the list, but I know that at least one person (the one ahead me) passed when their number came up.
No deposit was required.

Thanks everyone! Here she is. First few pics I was trying some different strap options.
Went with the blue one and the caramel for now. Will most likely add the grey down the road.

Fantastic! Huge congratulations! That bottomless blue dial is one of the most stunning on a modern watch!



The grey is a fantastic pairing...

Thanks! Yes, I love the look on the grey strap. The only reason I didn't get it yet is because I have 2 other watches with grey straps and nothing on brown / tan. But I will definitely be adding that grey one in the near future.
