Launch is today at 1pm UK time.
I suspect these vintage glassbox models dont sell good enough to become regular production. It takes quite some time for TAG just to sell the few Montreals and Ice Kings. Remember all the heritage 41mm Carreras (those discussed earlier today, one is a Jack Heuer dont remember reference) and how many ended up in the outlets. Monzas and Autavias are other examples where the community loves it but sales are bad and we see them in outlets and discounted in AD's.
If this kind of watches would be huge success business wise TAG would of course produce a lot more and make them standard offerings.
You have to admire Hodinkee, they've created a situation where people feel compelled to spend thousands of pounds on a watch they haven't seen (or might not have seen) simply because they know it will sell out in minutes and to delay is to risk having to pay a flipper's ransom. You can hardly blame them for exploiting their clout, but wouldn't it be interesting to see what would happen if they released an ugly watch that people decided they didn't want, it would only take one misstep for the spell to be broken - or would it?
