I was a bit surprised that neither Rolex, Breguet, Richemond or AP closed for summer this year...They always closed and backed up on several months during summer.

Glad my new bezel ring shipped when it did! It came from Brienne.

Its very normal in CH that factories are closed in the summer. Not 2 months, but only 3 weeks (ususally in July)

Most Germans car factories do the same thing (approx 3 weeks) - July/August is holiday season in Europe..
