16202s already shipping? Post your pic.

Are the new ROs already with customers? I hardly see any news on these. I go to the boutique and there is nothing to see. IG is full of pics of exhibition models.

Holy sh$#, do I love that yellow gold fume dial version.

What’s up with this ‘signed’ certificate from the CEO I keep hearing about? Is it his real signature or just printed? If true that is a lot of signatures.

If he really gets on with it, he should be able to sign 1000 certificates per hour, so 20 hours total for the 50th anniversary production. Half a week of grunt work

They are shipping. There’s a small 50th commemoration slip that’s signed by FHB.

In one of the other posts it looks like HK had delivered at least 5 STs and raclaims in NYC just got one too.

There was an article that said they’re only making 1875 jumbos in the four released variants. At around 200 points of sale, that’s like 8-9 pieces per store based on even math although some boutiques will get more than others.

Oh man....time to see where the power rankings are! I know I'm not 1-5 on the list. But now time to see if I'm like #9 or #10, where #10 is the same as being #100!

Thanks Reign. Can you share that article on the 1875 quantities? That puts me at zero chance at the boutiques. Mega depressing.
