4 years?! My Vanuatu arrived in August after dead on 2 years and my Komodo in November. There's talk on the Facebook group that production has been ramped up as the wait lists appear to be going down by around 500 a month for each model. For the money the package is unbeatable.

[@gorillasinthewrist]

I suspect that production wound down during pandemic, and I was just offered my second watch which was a shorter wait. They were worth the wait. Thanks for watching.

[@MrShinobi797]

Man that thing looks Killer. Just the color I'm interested in with the 10 O'clock Crown. Likely a 3.5 year wait for me 😅 Looking forward to your Review 👌

[@gorillasinthewrist]

They are quite something, mine has become one of 2 daily wears. Definitely worth the wait! Thanks for watching!

[@MichaelAguila]

More power to you. I couldn’t wait that long

[@gorillasinthewrist]

To be fair, I had forgotten I was on the list… thanks for watching!

[@richardrichmond8006]

Thank you for the video. As I type, my watch is on the way, and I waited almost 2 years. I always choose the no-date option, which is my preference for all my watches if available,

[@gorillasinthewrist]

Glad you enjoyed it, hopefully you’ll like yours as much as I like mine. Thanks for watching

[@jasonbostock408]

really nice watch I like a heavy dive style(it may rain a lot in Manchester so I buy a lot of divers) shame the waiting list is a little long great unboxing and content as always

[@gorillasinthewrist]

Heavy diver is a pretty good description, the waiting list is problematic but if you read their story, it seems clear of the reasons, uncompromising approach to quality . It’s worth the wait, thanks for watching!

[@wristopia4101]

Stunning Watch ; ) Have the Ti Khuraburi as got on the wait list early. Loved it so much that I am now waiting (1year 9 months to go approx.) for a steel one. I will be going for the same colour and no date, but I will spec the crown at 4 O'Clock. Still hoping to get a lucky dip one in the monthly draw! Did not think the bezel was ceramic, but fantastic if it is.

[@gorillasinthewrist]

It is glorious! Good luck for the lottery and thanks for watching!

[@wristopia4101]

@@gorillasinthewrist Just arrived (not via lottery :( )!! Stunning and was only 1 year and 2 months in total! Yay.

[@Toshtogo122]

FYI It’s Double domed sapphire and sapphire crystal

[@gorillasinthewrist]

I stand corrected! Thanks for watching.

[@Emmepi37]

You waited 4 years for a NH38 watch ?

[@gorillasinthewrist]

I did, and it was worth it, thanks for watching

[@96kyh]

And I get impatient after 4 days from ordering my AliExpress watch.😅

[@gorillasinthewrist]

Me too, to be honest I was on holiday when the email from helm dropped and only got to it three hours before the end of my 48 hour window!

[@Ben-qn6ws]

The crown isn’t @ 10 oclock on the website. Is that correct?

[@gorillasinthewrist]

They do different variants, this one works for me. Thanks for watching

[@Ben-qn6ws]

@@gorillasinthewristahh i see, you can choose where they put the crown. Very cool!

[@rendullic]

I dont get it- 4 years? I waited 2 yrs( and i got it yesterday!!!)

[@gorillasinthewrist]

As I understand it, they do some sort of lottery once a month, you must have got very lucky…. What do you make of yours? Thanks for watching

[@rendullic]

@@gorillasinthewrist nope. I was climbing month by month. Made many screenshots of advance. I chosen black orange (Maybe they increased production)

[@gorillasinthewrist]

It’s very strange, I joined the queue before the pandemic…

[@rendullic]

@@gorillasinthewrist i had no idea if that was possible.i had info that they make 200 pcs a month and my moving of wait list mathces that number-5000 positions for 2 yrs
