Oh wow, good for them re: 14 months (I can picture a company rep reading this thread and being like "Screw this small and cool stuff, we want more $$$"). I think it was quoted 3-6 for me, maybe took a couple months longer but was well worth the wait. Phenomenal unboxing process. Have fun with it!
Dornbluth!! @HotWatchChick69 is right, I love my 99.1 and think it's a beautiful piece. I would highly recommend it to you (but not to anyone else, I love that they fly under the radar and don't want them to get so popular that I lose my watch nerd cred from owning one...)
Re: process, it is definitely a small, family business, which has positives and negatives. I was well taken care of and I definitely felt like my order mattered (and having watch #708 was cool vs. #510,708). But I was confused when I didn't get an answer to a question for a while until they got back to me and said the whole company was away for holiday (which was ok once I knew, just was odd when it was radio silent while they were holding a bunch of my money).
The watch itself is outstanding. Very clean with just enough "sizzle" to be memorable. I went with the ceramic dial with engraved numbering and it is - and looks - VERY high quality. I went blue dials which pop against the pure white dial and black numbers. Open back is great, both beautiful and functional. I am 100% a fan with absolutely no regrets.
I look forward to seeing your piece when you receive it, we'll start a (very small) crew of Dornbluth lovers within the WatchCrunch family!
What model is this? To my uneducaged eye it looks like a SeaQ but I’m not finding those with an open back (which I love). Thanks much for the help and this great reco!
Yes yes yes! This is amazing, thanks for the reco!
What’s the Solana Beach / Habring2connection? I’m in the area (my office is moving from Cardiff to Solana in a couple months) so any local thing could be cool.
