Hey GreenLantern, curious, which version of the series are you interested and have you been confirmed? How does it work? Did you make a visit? And, if confirmed when do you estimate pick up? Thanks for sharing. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

What's tragic is that the poster couldn't be bothered to spell Mr. Rexhepi's name correctly. Ugh, kids... |

Lookout for Series 2 in September or October timeframe. I can’t wait to see it. I am so curious of the new changes and what Mr. Hagmann brings to the pieces.

Curious how the waiting list works? Does it work like those big brands that you only get allocated after you have accumulated enough spending?
I have emailed one of its retailers and was told that I was added on the list but not sure how it works... |

What would you spend on if you can’t get any of the watches?

I have not received a piece from them yet and without a retailer in the US, I went straight to Akrivia. Akrivia team are great people. I think the biggest issue is how quickly 4-5 watchmakers can make the desired RR CC. They keep getting more and more press. I wasn’t asked about getting a piece as I did not go through a retailer. Although, it might be a good idea to get that AK-06 as the movement might change in the future. These are first generation watches. Think about fast forwarding 20 years and missing out on a “brass movement Resonance”. Cool brand and great philosophy. It you haven’t seen it, check out that mini Series from the Hour Glass. So well done! Rexhep seems raw, emotional and a genuine. Good dude! The Hour Glass : https://youtu.be/scMLzXHldWE Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

As far as I know, ak06 all sold out too(but maybe Akrivia tourby still available?)
As for RRCC is a different line up to Akrivia, RRCC1 was all sold out literally the year it was released, 2018. Check out SJX IG TV, who had an interview with Rexhep last week. He is working on new RRCC2 i.e. a new movement and case, as how they will slowly do everything in house. I believe there are only 50 pieces for RRCC1 all sold out, so maybe another 50 for RRCC2? As for AK06, I think SJX did a review on it and talked about how it's the last gen of its kind, the case and movement (I suppose?) 50 ever made for AK06 i.e. 25 SS and 25 Titanium. AK06 is the first watch with Rexhep's in house movement. But like above said, Akrivia's case is not for everyone. So who knows, maybe it will be more collectible in the future (e.g. FPJ brass movement). |

Love Rolex but it was the waiting list thing that made me look into other brands. Still am. Whether the pieces gain value or collectibility (while important), my main purpose is that they are beautiful and I want to wear it. I admire Akrivia, curious what Mr Hagmann will bring to the table, want to see their movement evolution, and imagine what this young guy will do in the future. Not only that, his bro works there too which often times gets overlooked. I want to know about him too. I think he also under the Patek apprentice program. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Something to keep in mind is that the CC is "discontinued". They made 32 of each case material and they are all long since sold and about half have been delivered.
The "Version 2" will be a very different watch. It will have two barrels and Rexhepi is being very tight lipped about what the second barrel will be for. Don't count on only three hands for the next one. Things are going to get complicated, folks. |

What I am not looking forward is a price increase. Version 1 was around 55K USD. Get a feeling we will be looking at 70KUSD plus. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Who knows. It could be literally anything. Nothing absolutely requires a second barrel. All he said was that one barrel will power the time and the other something else. In reality, the 55k price of version one was wrong. It is a 75k watch. The new one, now that he is established and it will be a more sophisticated watch, will probably be into 6 figures. |

Me thinks the ship has sailed on landing RR unless you’re an extremely well connected collector. Or just rich AF

I'm in for a CC Series 2. Missed the boat on the first, and was very sad about that.
Will post photos once it arrives, probably next year. :D |

Hey @GreenLantern, check out #Esperluxe’s recent IGTV interview with Rexhep. Look at 37 min in and how he talks on Chronograph work. Wonder if that is the added function talked about the CCv2. Excited for you. Let me know if you get any news on it.
