Alas, they hold back the production with this model, as other brands also do with certain pieces. They all play that same game, unfortunately. Still, I can only praise the timepiece itself. About perfect, IMO. But a shame many who want one can't get one. Same for me with other brands - FP Journe, VC, maybe even a Rolex. Can't buy what I actually want, and I am not willing to buy things I don't want to get there.
