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 of this because, of course, I am waiting for yet another incoming watch.
CATEGORY ONE
So far this year, thinking of these watches, I had a total waiting time of about 120 days or an average of 30 days for each watch! Actually it was less than 10 days for each except for that shiny gold one, second from left.
CATEGORY TWOThis lovely and oh-so-annoying gold GO watch has had the plating peeling off the hands for 7 years. Since I first found the PuristS (no Pro in those days) in 2007, this has needed a service.
THEN: I remember my first conversation with Art about the advisability of pulling the hands, sanding them off and replating them.
NOW
I finally could stand it no longer and decided to blow some of my meager pension on a full service from GO. We're a couple weeks into a projected 6-8 week turnaround.
AND YOU?
I know that I am an impatient amateur at waiting - many of us are well accustomed, resigned to, outraged by long waits for watches. Without getting your blood pressure up, can you share a time with us and a
