CF3 --some good news!

Interesting point of view, Paul. I tend to agree.

Well, that certainly makes sense, I guess we have to wait a bit more and see what IWC has in store for us in order to better assess the receptivity. I would think that 150 pieces would go in a flash, but eventually that is being overly optimistic. This said I also trust that Michael and IWC are able to gauge the preferences of the majority here with a more or less accurate degree.

I have my hopes high and can't wait to the reveal.

Personally I think 100 sounds like a good number. Enough, but pretty limited. Surely 100 will be snapped up? I'm definitely in if I'm lucky enough. So only 99 to go!!

Just a thought.I personally think that limiting the watch to say only the people who contribute the most posts Is rather short sighted..
Just because i don't post on here everyday does that make me any less a collector.. i own 6 Iwc watches (PPC right down to a Aquatimer).I guess that makes me a fairly serious collector i don't log in
with my user name most of the time but i do read the threads on a daily basis
Maybe i have just got the wrong end of the stick but to me we should as a community be reaching out to everyone who might be interested in buying a cf3 watch . Have a good day

I believe that everyone who wants a watch will get one. Past practice has shown that desire and producing funds are often mutually exclusive.

I wasn't suggesting who should/shouldn't be eligible. And who knows who will be eligible/lucky. I just think limiting the numbers is a good thing to keep it a bit special. I see your point though.

Great news (!)

Can we talk IWC in something like: wear now pay later (say 2015?)
Or an attractive zero % loan over three years...

That would make me life mutch easier.

PS Anyone(!) Tips how to influence your wife in buying your nineth IWC

CHEERS

Promise her diamond earrings in Paris. Worked for me!

Earrings you say...No wonder it hasn't worked for me. I've been promising Herrings.

I see your problem. Confusion!

I had a dream, CF3 came out as a BP. It was a little too large for my small wrist, but I didn't care. I was walking out from the boutique with it and then I woke up...

...I think I cried a little...

That was a great dream... right up until you cried a little! :-)

Cool photo by the way. If I was going to get a BP at the moment, that would be the one.

Any chance of celebrating the Swiss National Day with an update on the CF3?

Vincent, that's not a dream - it's a nightmareLoL

Nice picture BTW - looks good there!

Well, at least that is "some" news. Looking forward to knowing what it is. Can't wait actually.

Thanks for the update Michael and for all the efforts to date. Quite exciting.
