Re: Bel Canto watches@

I believe this is a scam. It is impossible to have the same delivery date as for a new order, despite waiting almost one year. I canceled my Bel Canto order. I'll buy it one year from now 30% off, while getting 5.5% interest on my money, and not CW. Dang that sucks! Over a year and a half wait is p...

Re: Bel Canto watches@

A week on the wrist review So it's been almost exactly a week since I received my viola Bel Canto, and I figured I'd give a little mini-review of the things I like, things I think could be improved, and my overall thoughts: LIKES * The looks. It's a great looking watch. I genuinely think the purple...

Re: Bel Canto watches@

I finally got mine about 2 weeks ago and it's so well done that I've been wearing it over everything else in my collection, which ranges from high 4-figures to high 5-figures. It's that good IMO.

Re: Bel Canto watches@

Here you go… IMG_8009.jpeg The dial will be guilloché… either laser engraved or stamped… apparently the method is still to be determined. If you head over to dad.watch page on Instagram, he has a link in his bio where you can register your interest and find more details. Oh man I love this dial. Wo...

Re: Bel Canto watches@

Thank you for your reply, Bahnstormer_vRS There is another which I just signed up for that is still in the initial stages… it should be going more public in the next day or two… very different from previous dials and, I think, a winner. Having seen that one made me wonder how many more could potent...

Yep, I have and they haven't picked up the 2 times I've tried. Still no reply via email.

Re: Bel Canto watches@

Same. Last day of September. Maybe mine will be adjusted to October now. I just hope Spytap's isn't pushed back as well. Was your revised date September? If so, did you receive any information about a new delivery date? Yup. Mike informed me that the delivery of my watch will be delayed until the e...

anyone have any updates?
Sigh. Nope. Not a peep from them. I was expecting better considering that Mike France himself was apologizing for the delay to end of this month.

Re: Bel Canto Received and going back

I actually think it is kind of cute but I have no need for an hourly chime watch, what's it called, "rattrapante" I believe…… A rattrapante is a double chronograph. Like a normal chronograph but it has two seconds hands. You stop one and the other keeps going, then when you release the st...

Some crazy prices, you could even put it in Sales Corner. I’m sure it will be snapped up!!
Let's not encourage flipping.

Re: Bel Canto GPHG nomination

You can self-nominate for GPHG so I wonder if CW nominated themselves or someone else did.

Re: Bel Canto watches@

Well, Mike updated me this morning that while some of my colleagues will receive their watch at the end of the month, mine will be delayed until the end of September - parts were rejected for quality. Unfortunate. Hopefully Unforced is in the group that will receive theirs on time. I'm thankful for...

Re: Bel Canto watches@

Received a reply this morning from a customer service advisor that I will be receiving an email update in the next few days outlining delivery details. At least it is something rather than getting no reply. Unforced is right to mention that we paid in full - it is probably why we feel in the dark a...

Re: Bel Canto watches@

has anyone been given any updates as to delivery dates? i wonder if delivery has been pushed back as there were delays with the other bel canto production runs. As this is a Bespoke (private) edition of the Bel Canto, assuming enough orders were placed for the project to progress to production (whi...
