Hi. I am curious as to what is the average wait time is for a C5 to be completed and dispatched. I have been waiting for two months now and by the looks of it I have a lot more waiting to come. Don't get me wrong, I can wait, I am not going anywhere - just yet. I have been told that current delays, which I have no doubt is correct, has to do with the current supply of ETA movements from Switzerland. I am just curious as to how this works, does SWATCH who owns the production company that produces the ETA movement have a system of supply that is transparent? Can anyone tell me how it works, and how does this effect on-line production. Is it also something recent? However, I must point out, that even though I would prefer not to wait this long, I am comforted by the quality of the CW watch using the ETA. Still, it must be incredibly frustrating for Christopher Ward and company and of course other companies that rely on this movement. Cheers.

Yes, I think that I might have just been on the cusp here,not sure what has happened, because when I ordered my C5 they weren't on reserve. Just unlucky I suppose. But as you say, I am sure it will be worth the wait. Still, it does seem like a very long wait.

I'm waiting for a C5 Aviator. So I wait.

I have no doubt that it will be worth the wait!

I just read the thread "Sellita to replace ETA" and now I am beginning to understand what Chris is up against -

Yes, me too..

I ordered my C5 Aviator (C5AKK) last night and thought I would call to see just how long the wait may be. I was told it was looking like May. So we wait and hope I guess..
