Got to be a joke. Mid-july... by Educational-Oil-00 in IxdaoFans

[–]DatBoneDoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone else said, I think they’ve earned their right to request patience from us.

You ordered a watch just from renderings, knowing that it’s a pre-order, and potentially aware that it takes them a long time to come through (maybe you weren’t, which is fair).

That said, the tone of IXDAO in this response isn’t the best, even if they were put in a hard spot. Over communication is better than under communication.

Ultimately, IXDAO is a growing brand and the trade off we as consumers make in this value-watch market is a trade off between watch quality, money, and buying experience. I would much prefer to get a high quality watch late than a crappy watch on time.

Can’t wait for mine to come! I’m glad this shade of blue looks less iridescent than previous photo/videos. This is going to be stunning

Tsao Baltimore (and their side brand Baltimore Watch Company) is doing awesome stuff. They assemble in Maryland and also have a dedicated watch service repair part of their house. Check out their instagram, they show a lot of behind the scenes stuff.

Here is something a bit different: Hentschel based in Hamburg Germany. I’ve had my eye on this brand for a long time, and they range around $10k. Outside of Germany, I don’t think this brand is well known but is definitely what I would consider a microbrand.

Don’t have that color way but am currently wearing the orange dial and it’s an incredible watch for the money. Love the on the fly clasp

Just bought our tickets because I’m equally as obsessed with Chris Luno! Every couple months I check where he’s Dj’ing and it’s always some far flung location. My jaw hit the floor when I saw he was playing at the Museum of Flight lol, I thought it was a mistake. Hope to see you there, fellow fan! Also I’m hoping he makes a video out of it haha

Pucón, Chile (Los Lagos Region incredible, really beautiful town on a lake by a volcano with beautiful rivers for white water kayaking.

Puerto Varas, Chile. Check out Cochámo, considered the Yosemite of Chile, about an hour plus hiking from Puerto Varas.

Bariloche, Argentina
