How well are they selling, Alien? Is there a big demand for them?

The navitimer is selling better.

So far we have only sold one Chronomat LE but 4 Navitimers, although we received the Navitimer a month after the Chronomat.

That doesn't surprise me.

To me the difference between Chronomat B01 and the LE isn´t that big with the red acsents and DB. On the navi though, it´s been so anticipated arrival with it´s inhouse movement and DB. Just hits all the right notes.

To me there's a world of difference. Maybe not in terms of the parts (some red hands here, a DB there, etc), but when viewed as a whole the Chronomat 01 LE is more than the sum of it's parts. And those parts turn it from a watch that I struggled to even like, into one that I'm in the process of buying.

I hear you D8. I feel the same way about the Avenger code yellow and there´s just the yellow acsents. (not buying it, just think it´s even cooler than the regular A). I thought you were alredy starting to get around to B01 and the LE sealed the deal. And I can see why. I´d go for it too.

I´ll refrace and clarify. As the B01 has been around already for sometime, most who were fans has already purchased it. which means the LE isn´t making that much of an impact. But on the other hand there´s been alot of people waiting and hoping for the inhouse Navi, so LE or no, the demand is there from the get go. If this makes sense?

Makes perfect sense Java. I can see your point completely about the Navi being totally new as opposed to a "re-do" of the Chronomat B01. And of course not everything appeals to everyone anyway. But the LE definitely works for me.

I've Just ordered one for my "husband to be" for his wedding present as a surprise

Hope he likes it

What's the surprise...the watch, or the wedding?

hopefully just the watch... he's agreed to the rest

All joking aside, that's a wonderful gift. He should feel good about marrying a woman who understands a man's passion for watches.

Excellent wedding present! Congratulations to you both!

I've got no. 81/2000 waiting for me. Just need to pick it up!!!

I spoke with George today and he's received another Chronomat 01 but still no Navis. As far as I know, they don't have anyone waiting for this Chronomat so it's available if anyone is interested. There may be more than 1 available.
