Thank you for the wonderfully detailed review! Do you know of anyone who might consider selling their Bel Canto Azurro?

I don't know anyone who may want to sell their Bel Canto Azurro. Just checked Chrono24 and there were 2 for sale, but the prices were more than twice the original prices. I would suggest going for a new one at the CW site. The Viola looks quite good to me. Good luck!

Thanks a lot, my friend, for the very kind words and for the cross-post! I enjoyed doing the research and finding out more about the people behind the watch. Yeah, the review is a love letter to the brand posted on Feb 14 :).

Great review as always. I love the look of the C1 Bel Canto x Watches@. Do you know how if there is a way to purchase the watch without being a member of the group?

Thanks for the kind words! You would have to at least know someone from the group, I think. If there were any unclaimed ones, families and friends of the members would have a chance to buy them. I don't know if all the pieces have been sold out or not. I'm sorry that I cannot be helpful.

From the CW website, there is a page for "Bespoke Watches". If you can find some folks to do a "group buy", you may be able to have your own custom pieces, haha. It would be fun to do that actually.

Got it. I will see if I can find someone in that group.

Bespoke watches could also be interesting. Given the affordability of this watch, it should not be that hard to find a group friends to do a custom design together.

Hi Aaron, I was able to talk to the organizer of Watches@ and got a few allocations for the readers of this newsletter. Please let me know your email address here or DM me on IG (@sfwatchlover). Regards.

Hi,

I'm sure this is far too late, but I don't suppose you still have any of the allocation remaining do you?

Thanks,

Paul

Sorry for the late reply, as I was traveling. All 200 pieces were sold by early March based on info from my contact at Watches@.
