I understand my OB stopped taking deposits but as they deliver a watch, they ask the next person for a full deposit.

They act like they’ve got enough interest to keep the deposit train rolling through year end.
Yes, I was just at the OB this past Friday (And I finally saw the white dial in person, I'll admit, it's great in person. I was a not fan from photo posts). But I was there to drop off a watch to be serviced, They also mentioned an update and a backlog, so they recommended I keep my watch (it's my daily, black dial speedmaster) until they get caught up. First time my watch stopped keeping a power reserve even when fully wound. This would be my 2nd time for the 3861 in for service though. This last time, I'm getting what I've read is called "chrono creep." So back it goes when they get caught up.
