Canadajo - like you, I am one of the fluffy bunnies who paid a deposit a year or so ago. I expected a few months, I got a year. Ah well - more time to get others, I say. The money for the LM-7 has been in my Paypal account, then out, then in, then out... and on it goes. Mitch might not like having to wait until the funds are there to pay for LM-7 number 111, but I guess it is fair that he wait a little bit, too, if the account is empty when the thing miraculously appears. He did say he would take Paypal for the remainder. And it cost me another $50 in fees to make a direct bank to bank payment from the international currency division of my Aussie bank to his US one...
Only recent news on what was the most talked about Ocean 7 ever, and is now the most UNtalked about Ocean7 ever (other than between those who want one) is that Mitch was going to make the bezel a quick-change (removable, replaceable with others) type. That died cos the watch was "too far into the production schedule". Projected delivery is quoted by O7 as August/Sept. I expect October and would not be surprised if it was November. But no biggie - it isn't like it is the only watch I will ever own. Down the track, there will be the SS bracelet (don't want one cos I have an Omega mesh), display goodies (dont need or want) and a PVD version too (not needed either). The little acorn has become an unmanageable Oak, IMHO.
I do not agree with the removal of posts that ask uncomfortable questions - that is why we have forums in the first place - unsolicited uncensored feedback on all matters watch related - no matter how dumb the question (and I am just talking about some of MY Qs here...). OK - unfounded allegations, reputation smearing, sour grapes and unreasonable comments should be counter-argued off the boards. But it is a bit like being able to edit your own ebay feedback, isn't it?
Yep - that is a lot of coin to sit on for a year. But I guarantee that we will have short memories after it is delivered.
If. Ever.
I call it the WIS's curse - "...you will forget the last fight when you are making love...".
By the way, this also works as "you can forget the last fight you had with your wife when you are making love to her beautiful sister", but you know what I mean
. Or do you??? hehehe. All I mean to say is that the present dramas will be forgotten when the watch arrives, or when you get another watch that makes you forget (had to clear that up cos not sure how it translated and didnt want to offend anyone...).IanM hand6.gif
