Damn me!

I practically ALWAYS ask the dealer if a specific watch is available before pulling the trigger.

Once only I didn't because it's a recent model and because I added it last second while I was also taking something else (that I got confirmation were in stock).

Result?

Out of stock.

 

       

 

This one, fyi:

 

 

Now, what to do? Wait for stock or searching something else? I'd prefer to wait for a restock 'cause there are not many watches attracting me these days...

I could eventually go for a Pam Bronzo (but still I didn't get if it's better the KW or Z-Factory one), or a PP Nautilus (again not clear if it's better to go for Miyota or Sellita version, and moreover I'm searching for a gold one), or even change totally my lookout and take a BR 03 Type Aviation (but I've to add good amount of other money there)...

All part of the game, relax.

 

why don't you ask for a partial refund while waiting? That way, you can always source this from another dealer. Or take your time to find a replacement watch.

Its no big deal, really. But don't settle for second best just because you already paid.You likely won't be happy with whatever replacement watch you find.

Let's see

I've asked the TD if he has some prevision about the time it'll be again in stock (the factory is in shortage of the case), telling him that it's not a problem to wait for 1 month or so.

The important thing is that in the meantime he sends me the QC pics of the other 2 pieces and put them on a side with my name on top of them (so that when this will be available again, there will not be the situation where the other 2 are OOS too ).

well yes, if the waiting time is about a few days or 1 week, I would wait. 

By the way, lovely choice for the RG RO.

 

Honestly with the way the RO reps are built, I personally would not buy the gen if I just want a beautiful looking dress watch.

Hi Gen, personally could not be waiting for 3 of them. While getting 3 sent to the EU is just at the limit but within, it´s already a risk, 2 is better and safer.

KW Bronzo only for me. Lots of members say the ZF is great but just one modder repaired over 22 of them - than they where great.

PP Nautilus me personally would take the decision on price only because both have + and -.

The other option would wait 1 month and meanwhile choose another cheaper one (the 4th) to get along with it in a months time:)

Actually I gave him 3 possibilities (considering that the BR 03 TA was on my wish list too, and that the Toro version has the correct gen-like lume, while PT one has a wrong green one):

 

About the Rose Gold AP, I see 3 possibility:
1) Refund of 458*0.9(WU discount)=412.2$ as "gift" on my paypal account thegentle@libero.it
2) You put the Hublot and the Blancpain in a safe place with my name/order nr. on them. If within one month the Lord factory don't have a new batch of the AP, then I'll go for another watch or ask for refund. If the AP will then be available, so will go for it.
3) is this B&R BR03 Type Aviation (link below) in stock and provided with box, secondary nylon strap and documents as like from the other TDs?

I think it should be a fair offer.

The Bronzo is great but I'm scared it will be too big for my 7.6 inch wrist (for what I see the 42<->44 mm ones are the best on it)... The Patek is very nice too, but it still not catching my heart...

 

Thanks for the suggestions

Ok, deal closed with BR03 88 with box and 2nd strap
