Received the following message from my AD...

...Hereby I would like to let you know that we received the IWC watch IW376415.

I need to hurry down to the AD,and pick it up! As MF said ...these shipped earlier than originally announced.

Congratulations, that will be a nice weekend treat

Good luck Mark, post pictures please! nt

I received the same message...

from the Beverly Hills Boutique. Hoa Huynh (the excellent sales associate who assisted me through this whole endeavor) even sent a picture. Since mine has to be shipped, I suspect we will be seeing Mark's pics before my CFDV arrives! To dampen any qualms about my usual lack of photographic acumen...I brought a new camera for the occasion and it is supposed do better with close-up images. I am excited and congratulate Mark on receiving his CFDV!

Best regards,
Jim

Good News and a great weekend (nt)

Wear it in good health, Jim

I know you must be waiting with great anticipation. I have an IWC on order from Hoa as well, but my ETA is far into the fall.

Congratulations on the CFDV.

Thanks, Bill!...

I can hardly keep focused on my work today...so close, yet so far!

Best regards,
Jim

Happy forumers make a happy forum!

Great news! Can't wait to see your pictures Gentlemen.

Jim, good luck with your new camera, I'm sure something great will come up!

Pix, pix, pix...... soon!

Congratulations Jim....

I can't wait to see those pictures to come.

My serial number is # 3306855 and..

the watch is absolutely beautifully finished. To be fair, MF did "warn" us of the detail and care that Schaffhausen had put in, including the special emphasis on the bracelet. Well let me assure those of you that still wait - the wait is worthwhile. Another, unknown to me BUT REAL NICE feature that is found on the watch, is the ability to fine adjust the bracelet length - even if it did take me a couple of minutes to find the hidden quick adjust button. Absolutely fantastic for those of us who normally battle with summer tightness on bracelets, where adding or removing a link is just too much play. A special thanks to Michael for encouraging Schaffhausen to do this CFDV - Pictures to follow, when we have daylight tomorrow to do justice to this fine watch.

That's just great, Mark!...

As I said in my earlier post...a big congratulations! Now my anticipation is really in overdrive!

Best regards,
Jim

Congrats to all those who have or soon...
