APW+ 26331 - Not 7750?

[THXuk]

came across this, apologies if its been shown before, but interesting.

Hate that our hobby gets exposed like that

Thanks. I got blue dial and TD is saying replacement might not be possible as production stopped.

I'm just going to bite the bullet. I can live with the lume how it is

It's the dragon boat festival in China starting tomorrow. Hopefully this the only reason of the stoppage.

It very well could be, but rather not take my chances to find out it will take a month for new QC lol

Well, considering that only very small batches were delivered at irregular intervals anyway, this "stoppage" is probably normality. The question is why this is the case. Is APW not getting enough movements?

I do not think movement availability is the issue, but it is the process of adding the date function which is probably slowing them down. Price keeps increasing as well, so my thoughts are that maybe that the factory might keep on trucking or just say this is a headache and give up on this model. Which is why I am buying one, before its too late.

The 26240 is a great alternative, but myself I just feel the 26331 is a better fit for my smaller wrist... so once it comes in the 26240 is going to be moved along

What I was told - still can order, but will wait a while. When asked why, no response.

Some dealers don’t want to deal with the hassle of an open order indefinitely. I need the reverse panda in my life thooooo

This guy definitely rolls around RWI, maybe not a member, but probably anonymously.

Could be something temporary, who knows. But act fast as I have a feeling this release is short lived.

I can live with the lume because everything else looks good

Bringing back an oldie but goody.

Another dealer responded to me about the 26331 being "on hold" due to there being problems with the movement (or possibly modification/production?)

Like I said earlier, I feel APW might just find out that the juice might not be worth the squeeze on this model.... so if you are on the fence, see what your dealers say on getting this model before it is too late!

I can’t find any dealer to source me the reverse panda.

Can't even recall if we saw QC or user photos of the black dial, so you might be out of luck with that one. Luckily you have the true panda and blue dial to hold you over

Honestly, I'd be happy with the 26240 with fantasy contrasting "panda" style dials.
