At least the plus 4 months wait is consistent across our n of 2 orders

Was June. Now Oct. So N is now 3.

My Rosa Brown leather was also postponed 4 months, from Feb24 to Jun24. With such a deposit the wait is going to be difficult...

another data point
colour: viola
pre-ordered on: December 2022
previous estimate: July 2023
new estimate: November 2023

In the pre-order marketing email did communicate a June - December timeframe so all in all it's still within my expectation, as long as they don't slip again that is.

And one more:
Colour: cielo
Ordered: Dec 2022
Expected: Oct 2023
Advised: Feb 2024

I'm ok to wait for this luscious creation. Only issue concerns other anticipated purchase in 2024 and the associated domestic messaging piece.

It’s interesting reading the comments above delays.

One of the reasons I no longer look at kickstarter projects is the delay.

I’m too impatient, as I like the imminent arrival of a new watch.

June 2024 delivery!! Not even a guaranteed date by the look of it. This would drive me crackers.

Hats off to those patient souls.

@TheBeatles It’s not confined to watches, Brian. I ordered a new car back in November 2021, to be built to my specifications, slated for delivery March 2022. March became May, became July, became September. I finally took delivery on 26th November, one year and 11 days after order.

They blamed the world shortage of chips. The car was built in France – they should have gone to Belgium.

Unfortunately I was in same boat, Steve. For same quoted reason. Shortage of chips!

I ordered a Ford Puma in October 21. Wasn’t quite ready for a new car but the 2nd hand market was very buoyant then and I couldn’t say no.

Delay after delay, finally took delivery in August 22. Prices had changed but to their credit, they honoured original deal.

A salient points for thems what's waiting for a #BelCanto, or any other pre-order CW, whether you have paid in full, or only a deposit;-

Your price is fixed, regardless of the eventual delivery date.

Compare this with a multitude of other watch brands, where one has to go on a wait list for an extended period of time; you pay the price on delivery.

For those being told that their updated delivery date is June 2024, when did you place orders?

Reason I ask is that to order one now, the website states deliver of June 2024 so judging by the comments in this thread, I imagine that's probably unrealistic?

I'm still waiting for my green bel canto ordered in November 2023 for June 2024 delivery. Delayed until mid August but I am travelling from until the end of Aug so it won't be until Sept till I get it. Paid in full. Trying to remain patient as I am still excited!

You ordered it in November 2023?

Or indeed car brands e.g. Lotus with the Emira.
