That's great news, Michael. And that is the way it has to go: If everybody does his job that great, something like this can come true. If the watch is going to be what I think (and hope), I could try to get in - even if I don't know yet how to realize that.
May be you cry was tears of joy that CF3 is not going to be a big-sized watch as the BP is! I am hoping it will not follow the trend to big sizes.
Given the August summer holidays all over Europe, I am expecting we'll probably need to wait few more weeks till early September. That's when any new announcement is likely to have the biggest impact with people back paying attention after vacations.
Thank you for the update, Michael. We really appreciate the efforts you and the IWC team has put into making this a reality. At least I can put my BP speculation to rest now, pray the nightmares will stop.
But for sure, what it is going to be is "The CF3 Watch". - and that means it is going to represent this forum and its members (yes - that mesns you ladies and gents). And that simple fact will make it a unique piece.
Now add to that, everything MF has shared about here (even if that's very little hard facts) it's for sure going to be a handsome piece.
I seriously doubt any new CFDVs will be produced. It won't surprise me, however, if one were not to become available eventually on the resale market. They were not engraved with the owners'name and they were numbered only as one of xxx.
Thanks for the info Bill. You never know, maybe they had one or two that never got sold and they may read this and get in touch. You never know your luck....
And once again, for it is never too much, thanks for all your efforts in bringing the CF3 into reality. And many thanks to IWC for taking good care of us!
