what was wrong with the dial?

That is odd since I didn't do anything special. I had Pierre Millasson and Michael Margolis reach out, Pierre is the brand ambassador in Switzerland and Michael is for North America. Did they not contact you when you placed your order on their site?

I purchased thru Exquisitetimepieces. And I took part in a zoom meeting with Pierre when they launched the subscription for the antarctique but that was from an email invite to anyone as I let them know before the zoom I purchased one. That was special. I’m not dissatisfied at all and have gotten very responsive and good service on the movement issue from both mike and Exquisitetimepieces.

Supposedly as they upgrade components in the movement they will give you the latest and greatest updated parts during service at no cost

Thinking about picking up one of their dress watches. How is the finishing compared to Lange or Patek? Seems to be about on par with the mid range patek models and a step down from Lange?

Owning a Patek, a Lange and a Czapek (though not dress), I'd say that's fair.

The Aventurine is a stunner. Iam trying to post pics but cant. DM me if you need more info.

[WatchEater666]

They look great, I would love a time only one that is open worked/skeletonized.

[Sjmoore11]

Wow. That rattrapante is amazing! I love the Passage de Drake (so much that I have one incoming!) but this is even a level up.

[mongrelnomoad]

Wow. That is quite a statement of intent! I love that they decided to keep this in steel - keeps the cost down to what could realistically be seen as a bit of a bargain, and explicitly links the DNA to the three hander.

[szabo_martin]

Stunning. If you dont mind me asking what was the msrp?

Not terrible for what it is. Sucks Im tapped out for a little while

[mongrelnomoad]

Congrats guys. Please don’t forget to do Incomings! I’d love to see real-world shots.

The subscription for the Rattrapante started about 25 mins ago and 74 / 77 pieces sold.

A large amount will definitely go to the retailers who committed to the piece earlier on, but very impressive for the brand

Love the Rattrapante! Just got word that my Passage de Drake is ready and will ship soon. It's been a long time since I've had an incoming, very excited

Nice! Looking forward to your review.

Pictures online don't do justice to how beautiful the hand-varnished dials are. Simply stunning in sunlight!

Wow,

[ChetBaker]

That looks amazing. Could have done without the red tipped seconds hand but other than that, simply stunning.

Who does that? I guess Czapek does.
A special thank you Xavier and the crew and also to Bob Margolis USA Rep. [/IMG]

Yes I think they are continuing to do well. Mine has theoretically shipped out, and was delayed because they ran out of presentation boxes of all things.
