I already have a few seamasters. i`m not in this count. it is still 50%. kind regards. achim

Forgive me if I'm a little confused by this post of yours from yesterday then ...generous of you to broker the deal in this case (pardon the pun)

"o.k., makes 3 so far. I will get one too. will let you know, when news come to hand. and maybe post the others in the market place...... kind regards. achim"

BTW: the reserved watches deposit payers details have been forwarded to Marcus at watchco. if you want to change parts of the deal, changing bands for example, tell them when they contact you. I`m pretty sure, Marcus will accommodate your wishes, if possible. he is quite interested in this group buy; a first for him as well. kind regards. achim

Not wishing to look a gift horse in the mouth, but did he clarify why he can't just order more parts (as per Al's suggestion)?

I have no idea; watchco has so many parts from many watch companies. my guess is, after the latest ,hefty price increase it does not make sense anymore to invest all that work with movements to find and to service and to assemble watches from it a.s.o..... I think, they will quit buying new parts. in the past many parts came from buying out retired watchmakers all over the planet. but, frankly, no idea. and it should not matter to us anyway; it is a business model. as long as we can profit from the current offer, fine ! kind regards. achim

Dear Achim,
no chance to give the watch to someone else. I already contacted watchco. Had a nice conversation with them but different time zones are not helpful.

I contacted Giverny directly earlier today on the off chance one might still be available. Just got a message and a paypal invoice for the only one he had left.

Mine arrived today! Held up for a day by FedEx in Memphis to obtain some additional clarification on contents (watch materials, number of jewels, etc) -- should I expect a bill for import duties to follow?

Anyhow, I'm stoked -- the watch is gorgeous!

And here it is getting to know its stablemates 😀

Probably. I had to pay when I had mine built by Archer. IIRC, it was around $125 or so.
