Interesting its become such a topic I honestly never noticed this when wearing my Czapek. Figured it's a small pay off for a quick release strap. Good on Czapek for their innovation though

Ducky Magoo · 15 July 2022, 04:12 AM

why not just copy the overseas quick release? IP reasons?

enjoythemusic · 15 July 2022, 08:18 AM

Personally feel a few are making a mountain out of a molehill with the connection system. I've changed straps at least 10 times, maybe 15(!). Easy to do, works great. Still, Czapek listens and makes changes, which shows they truly care. The new bracelet with extensions is great! As the new facility and fine-tuning are coming into place, am sooooo looking forward to seeing more wrist shots from others.

Mine was due Jan 2023 but accepting it may be later due to all the issues with supply. Good to see a real photo of one :-)

ChetBaker · 21 July 2022, 04:01 AM

That looks really good. What did you think of the size and how large is your wrist?

Patek_collector · 21 July 2022, 05:28 AM

40.5 is great. I felt 38 is a bit small for me wven though my wrist is small (17cm)

The Glacier blue looks amazing. Do we know yet if any of these have been delivered to US customers? I was supposed to take delivery of mine between June and September of 2022, but last I spoke to my AD, 2022 isn't looking likely. It's a little bit difficult to understand how they are 6 months or so behind before the first delivery has started.

We have not yet delivered one 40.5mm glacier blue nor 40.5 salmon nor any 38.5mm Antarctique to North America.

I am told August/September will have the first deliveries.

That's great news, right around the corner.

Lot of effort in taking photos. The blue looks entirely different to the blue that I have seen in instagram photos/YouTube videos. Looks like powder blue here.

+6% fees, but I have to think the buyer will be happier than the seller.

Yes, I think that auctions show you the true value of a piece In the market so 4750 + fees isn’t too bad a deal.

If you are a flipper who got it at retail that's a 20%-ish ROI. Hell of a margin in this market.

If you are a buyer, you got a great watch a year to two years before everybody else in line (at $200 - $400 per month to wear the watch now).

I would say, both sides made out pretty well.

Very stunning photos. A bit off topic, but has anyone ever bought or sold from that site before?

The site takes professional photos and prices are normally inflated as they market heavily their auctions.

You sure, I just read the sites terms and it asks the seller to provide detailed photos or they can suggest a photographer to use. Also checking the sold prices achieved for other models it looks anything but inflated.

Anyhow, there is Glacier Blue from the UK on chrono24 asking £36k (that is inflated ), maybe the same watch.

Am being quoted October no for my 40.5 Glacier Blue... no word on the salmon
