Early Basel deliveries?

Usually PP Basel releases come around the fall but it seems that things are happening faster this year. I just saw the new blue 5726 on Insta and it was not a demo model. Are they delivering stuff faster this year?

Yep they’ve also delivered the 5168G Khaki. Seems like this year deliveries are coming faster! Or maybe its just the VIP clients

Thought they'd be fast this year, maybe to undermine the Code and new ROs, but not this fast.

Is this like the Saudi prince who had a new Pepsi a month after Basel last year, or is this a normal watch dude?

Looks to be from Berry’s - I reckon I would have to wait approximately 7 years more than this to get an allocation

Why is this surprising?

It's super easy to change the production line for a new dial.

This isn't a new model, or new movement. :)
