Ferro watches?

#1 Post by Mike Kieley »

Am I the only sucker who ordered a 356-themed watch from these guys? A full year later and they keep telling me they are coming - anybody else order one?

Mike, I bet they are waiting until they have enough pre orders to get them made then you may get one. Keep hoping, meanwhile I will glance down at my trusty Seiko occasionally.
If I had known I would live this long I would have pushed the envelope a little harder.

here is a picture of there office / mailing address.
It looks like they are a design house, that gets watches assembled for them. looks like through the kick starter idea.
You need some one in Vcr to go and take a walk at lunch

Mike
You definitely are not the only one waiting.
I did pester him enough that he sent me a single hand watch as a calming solution last week.
Promises repeatedly that the watch is coming,but I am not sure he can complete.
I do have a number for him if you need it.

I doubt it Jim, looks like they still need another 47 orders to start production. Only 53 have been ordered off the limited run of 100. Not a lot of demand it seems. Maybe we are all spending our money on the cars not the jewelery.

Hello Mike. This is Bob from Ferro & Co. Watches. I recently found out about this conversation in this forum and just signed up to reply to the comments. I also wanted to let you know (as per my e mail) that your watch had been dropped off at our shipping depot on Friday Oct 25th. So you should receive it within a few days as we are in the same Province. Tracking number was e mailed as well. I apologize in advance for the delay and thank you for your kind patience. The wait is finally over. "Good things come to those who wait". Enjoy your new Ferro & Co. 356 Watch.

Hello David. We are not waiting for the watches to sell out, then produce and ship them. Production has already ended and shipments have started early last week :) Seikos are very nice as well :)

Hello Marvin. I have just tracked your shipment and you should receive the watch tomorrow by end of the day (Oct 28th). Thank you in advance for your order and super patience.
