What rubber strap is that on your Bel Canto? It's such a good match!

It's the woven style everyone advertises for the Moonswatch, but in 22mm.

Only have the blue stitch style in stock currently, but sure they'll be back or maybe check other sellers

When I got the email earlier today, it just resonated how tone deaf Mike is.
Folks want a gift they can show up with, and hand to their loved one, not an effen IOU.

Start paying now, there'll be another Father's Day next year.....

You Tuber just got one after 14 months

@MikePearson55 shared at the CW x NYC event last night that they are down to about a 5 months wait time on BC. They are hoping by the end of the year to get it to "in-stock" status.

This is good news for the 2025 July sale. Nearly new Bel Canto anyone?

How do we understand reality when it a real customer who just got one said it took 14 months and someone inside the company said it's now 5 months.

Because the YT customer placed an order 14 months ago, if you order now, it's a five month wait. Clearly production has ramped up over the last year or so.

^^^^ CW's website right now; Pre-order end January 2025.



That the wait time has come down is probably a combination of CW's Production capability ramping up and demand easing back.

I think there has been a supply issue with a certain part or parts which has now been/being resolved allowing builds to complete in a more normal time.

Well, heartbreakingly, my Bel Canto has been delivered, but I won't actually get it for another few weeks. So as to avoid any unnecessary duties, it's been delivered to my in-laws in the UK and they're coming out to visit towards the end of August and will bring it with them. The wait continues!

^^^^ but if it's been delivered to an address in UK you'll have paid 20% VAT on it. Won't you? .

Yes, and hence I don't want to be stung for more duties.
