I guess I am like you in that I was attracted to the watch and see it as an homage to the old school FF. I placed a WTB advert here and at MWF and had a few responses none of which had the exact configuration I wanted but which were darn close. I want this:
I was talking to another forum member about purchasing his for $525. The direct sales price sis $565 + shipping. Not a great savings and he wouldn't budge. I decided the 6 months of warranty he had chewed up were worth $40 to me so I placed an order. Not worth the minimal saving imo.
So I'll be glad to give you my opinion on the watch if I ever get it. I ordered it back on 3/25. I didn't get shipped before Yao went to Basel and still is not moving. They were not able to get the watch sent out in the 5 business days prior to them leaving for Basel and aren't moving too quickly since their return. I just last night asked for upgraded shipping so that I could expect the watch this week. No response as of yet. I am hoping the CS improves and they perform a bit of service recovery. The other thing to consider is that Yao told me he is getting to the end of the pre-built watches so I wouldn't dilly-dally.
Tony Duronio has one. He has assured me it will be well worth the wait. I plan on using it in what I hope is a warm summer here in the Northern Hemisphere.:D
Stay cool, literally and figuratively!! I'll give you more info when I get the piece.
