Hope not, but it's hard to stay under the radar with such quality. The new complication will likely sell quite quickly (even at $100kish)whenever it comes. Imo

I don't think it has anything to do with quality when it comes to making a quick buck.

I'm not saying the watches that they're hyping up are not quality, but ultimately that's not the motivation.

For me, and I assume I am not alone in this, if the list is closed as it is here then their watches are no longer on my radar.

That's generally my philosophy as well.

I get sad. I missed out. But I move on.

If it's sold out, it's sold out. I'm not paying flipper prices.

Agree, yet I do keep an eye on them. Maybe next year or after when availability happens... Kinda the same as with FPJ per see. Once it becomes 'unobtanium', it's nice and all yet even Gronefeld knows there are other valid quality choices.

To that I say bravo for honestly and integrity.



"The most endangered species, the honest man
Will still survive annihilation
Forming a world, a state of integrity
Sensitive, open, and strong..."

I believe it's always best not to over-promise and under-deliver.

Great sadness when I heard about Neil and knew I'd never see them in concert together again.
