Any updates on delivery dates?

Post by abuemily » Thu May 12, 2011 9:46 am

Hey, Todd ... guess the subject says it all. I know that I'm not on the LE, but curious about any anticipated dates for the non-LE version of the CD-2. I saw mention of a delay in the delivery of the "high end" movements, but assume that doesn't apply to the Soprod movements. And, maybe my Alzheimer's is solidifying, but will you only begin production of the Non-LE's AFTER you finish the LE's. Thanks, Michael

Hi Michael,

No, all were being done at the same time, at least that was the plan.
Thomas Prescher was to have X amount of parts as was Fricker.
So Mhvj movements are significantly delayed and a few days later Soprod told me theirs were too.
BUT, Soprod say June delivery, which is not too bad, and I put this down to a successful Basel Fair. In fact I suspect this is the Mhvj reason to, though they dont tell me that. If I ordered a thousand, then I would most likely already have them.
(note to self, need much more money)

So with assembly of the non LE and IF the movements are on time, they will be shipping in July I would assume.
But being the watch business, that could be July 2016,

I like the idea of a 44. Much better for me than a 42.

When I meet Jamie It did become apparent that there is a need for a 44mm.
He is a rather large chap, could be one of those defensive American football players, so while I am not a fan of large watches, I can see that some people actually need one to look normal size.
So at some point, one will be made, but its being looked into, as I would need new tooling for the hands and dial, maybe even appliqués, and a new case and crystals, so worth some thought and adding up the costs etc,

Thats the public delivery date, the real time is about 4 years later, but you can keep the spot.

Yeah i know, just arguing that out at WUS.
In fact, Dexel.ch finally replied today, and their price was high but possible, their min order though was 300.
So a return email is going, and maybe, something will happen
