And the hoarding of pieces and very convoluted allocation process.
For me, the DB28 is their magnum opus and the one to own, personally.
I am also perplexed by the current pricing and scarcity of these watches. At one point, about 1.5 to 2 years ago, they were very desirable and unattainable. That fervor has cooled off significantly, and yet still the prices (or at least the asking prices) have held relatively steady. I have a feeling that WatchBox is partly or largely to blame for this; however, this phenomenon will wane with time I believe.
I stepped away from the brand since WatchBox's acquisition. Some of the romance of the brand died for me with that acquisition. Also, the current brand leadership seems very focused on courting celebrities and artificially hyping their work in a distasteful manner in my opinion.
They still make some incredible watches and once reality catches up to them I may very well revisit them.
so overal, it seems like the pronlem is sales end not so much the product itself and it may resolve itself soon from what i have heard.
