What is the longest time that you've waited to get a watch AFTER paying for it?
I think perhaps there should be two categories: ONE Paid for a watch and waiting for it to arrive TWO Getting a watch and having to send it back and wait for repairs, adjustments, etc. [Art, this category is for you and your IWC-from-Hades] I am thinking ...
11 months
for, as it turned out, my early Christmas present to me. So the timing of AP was actually rather nice. Picked it up yesterday. Haven't had any time posting a propper picture (so here comes an iPhone pic). It's an Audemars Piguet 15202ST. And I'm loving it...
Wowzer! Both for the wait and the actuality of it arriving!
Thanks for sharing it. My fat old AP says hi to your new sleek one. Cheers, Cazalea ...
patience is a virtue as they say
And it got delayed so many times that at some point I didn't care anymore (still had the option saying 'no thank you' when it arrived). And let's face it, none of us would be watch-less during a wait like that anyway. Maybe the long wait will add somethin...
No one with more than two-three months ...
All from category one: 1) Omega Seamaster 300 Master 2) JLC Geophysic 3) IWC Aquatimer 2014 So far I'm happy to say that I was never being subject to any manufacture nightmare. Those three watches were acquired before they got released, based on that, tho...

Ouch!
As we always said growing up - close only counts in tossing horseshoes and hand grenades. But half isn't even close. I'd say it doesn't count. But that's just me. Mike
2 seconds? ;) More seriously....
I never waited for a Watch after having paid it. I never paid then waited for a Watch. Yes, I ordered some, like the Sonata, for example, and had to wait, well, a good 9 months, but I didn't pay till the delivery of the Watch. Best, Nicolas
I was lucky ...
Several years ago, I purchased this beautiful golden Longines chronograph: The saleswoman was preparing it for me to wear immediately, and I was just about to give my credit card over the desk, when she pressed the chronographs's start pusher and said: "...
Well, in Category #1, there was . . .
. . . a five month wait for an RGM 222 on account of . . . (drumroll) . . . a custom strap. Yes, I paid full boat for the watch in December, and didn't receive it until May. Never bonded with that one; part of the reason was the abominable gestation perio...
