Has anyone who ordered on the Advent Calendar sale got their watches yet? Ordered a Type B on the 23rd said 3 to 4 weeks for delivery. Coming up on three weeks now and no word on it shipping. Been my grail watch for years and cannot wait!
For what it's worth, I ordered one also and asked a question in the notes. On Tuesday January 11th they replied to my question and said they would send Fedex details when the watch shipped. Hopefully we'll see something in the next week...

I ordered a new one on December 24th. I can only imagine the wait I have considering those who ordered a watch already made are still waiting. But that's alright with me. I expect it. I suppose it'll be sometime late February.
I wrote back to them, pointed out that when I ordered they said it would be 3-4 weeks, and asked what their timeline was :). I'll let you know when I hear something :).

Thanks! It'll be interesting to see what they say. I'll check back.
They wrote back a polite letter (see below in blue for the pertinent info).

Many thanks for your email.

We are experiencing a bit of a backlog from our winter break. We understand that your delivery time was supposed to be by the end of this week. We apologize for the delay.
Would you please allow us time till next week to get back to you with a more clearer shipping date?

Thank you in advance and please feel free to contact us for any further questions.

I wish you a nice day.

With best regards from the Black Forest.

Thanks for the update. Didn't feel the need to start chasing them yet as it'a only 4 weeks tomorrow. Looks like they left their Christmas Holidays out of their calculations of an ETA of 3 to 4 weeks. I'll give it another 2 then.

I take it as a good sign that they sold a bunch of watches over the holidays :). I'm willing to wait awhile longer.

I bet that was not the only email inquiry they received. Thanks for sharing their response. The watches that are sold as demos should move relatively fast. I sadly did not see the watch I wanted so mine will need to be made. I wouldn't want to rush them for that for QC sake!

Finally got shipment notification! Should have it Friday 😁

Was resigned to it being another week or two. I messaged them Monday evening and they replied Tuesday apologizing to give them time as due to the high demand and the break they were behind schedule.

Got another email saying pretty much the same thing this morning from a different agent so was surprised to get a shipping notification a few hours later.

First off congrats :). That gives me some hope. Even though I didn't write to them again, I did receive a message saying they were running behind. I'm hoping your good fortune is a sign that those of us still waiting aren't far behind :).

I love the lume on the B dials. I think to WUS members and all watch enthusiasts, we're familiar with these B dials but I bet it's an eye catcher to those who use smart phones as their time pieces!

So my watch, which was NOT on the Advent Calendar, was ordered on December 24th ( a few minutes after the 24th watch appeared), and I just received my FedEx notice too. I find that curious since the Advent Calendar watches already existed, whereas new ordered watches still needed to be assembled. My watch appears to already be in the States!
