I just wanted to commend Altair on the magnificent job he has done of getting this LE buy organized. I'm not involved in the buy, but i've been watching the threads and posts. This is a difficult project, as is any, where human beings are involved and where each has differing tastes, likes and yes - personalities. He has done an absolutely remarkable job of maintaining cohesion of the group and not allowing it to fragment as projects such as this are prone to do. Mulling over suggestions, making recommendations, negotiating and demonstrating outstandiing leadership, in the end he has ended up with a beautiful watch design that I think all the members will be proud to own and he has done it for IMO a very very good price.

My hats off to you Altair. A job very well done! :bow:

what's everyone having inscribed if they're going that route? something personal or otherwise etc? i can't really think of anything...maybe just the date of production? or is that a big waste...

I never have anything personalized usually but do something special to you maybe a special date to yourself. Your initials, someones elses initials (Someone u know is staying around forever haha like a child)

I am having my initials. With the 6 character limit, nothing else would fit and still be personal. It will be very cool to see my initials through the back window.

BTW, let me say (after taking the time to read some more of the posts that I have missed) that I agree this LE is an incredible bargain for the quality of manufacture that Altair has negotiated.

Altair, you totally rock! Next time I buy a new watch, can I have you negotiate for me?? :mrgreen:

Awesome, just awesome. Altair, do you have enough non-BrietlingSource backup people for the remaining unreserved watches? Just curious (as per the PM I sent you)

Please let us know how, when and how much (exactly) for the payment.

I need to respectfully cancel please. Something came up again financially this weekend and it is just a must. It sucks but its a priority by far. Thank you so much Altair for letting me be on the fence through this whole process
