Went to see my SA yesterday, and was told I’m number 19 on the wishlist for the matching 5-motif hammered gold bracelet
 😭

Hello and congrats for your stunning bracelet 😛. In the same position I just received the news yesterday that the bracelet (MTO WG) arrived at the boutique. Unluckily (hum maybe luckily :coolio:) I just left on holidays 
 ordered 2/01 and so arrived 12/11. It was at one point that I wasn’t sure anymore it was a real order and not a dream :giggle:

In the same position. I don’t order anymore for now and wait for my other orders. Not sure I can stand it or only for a highly dreamed piece !

I paid full deposit as well and was quoted 7 months wait time for my RG hammered bracelet. I’ve been tempted on several occasions to purchase the bracelet preloved, but I’ve held out and remained patient. I don’t think I can do the waiting game again. Congrats on your new creation!!

Congrats. Where I am we can’t even order the 5 motif. only the 6 motif sweet. Also waiting for mine, I dodged the thought many times coz I didn’t want pay for something with such a long wait but with some pieces there’s not much option these days. Enjoy your piece and it looks good stacked.
 
Hi all I have put my name down for a hammered gold VCA 5 motif bracelet in the yellow gold today. I am a new customer at VCA and just bought a MOP bracelet and pendent set from my SA. Anyone have any tips on how to work my way up the waitlist? I am based in the uk and shop at Bond Street. Is it like Hermes, more you buy it will magically ‘appear’ quicker? :biggrin:
 
Also anyone have stacking ideas for me? I went for the hammed as I like a more subtle look. I currently wear a bezel set diamond tennis bracelet and View attachment 6102203a yellow gold bangle with a satin finish
A lot of pieces could go with your stack as it is : I would try myself WG guillochĂ©. Or YG guillochĂ©? Do you have a modshot with your YG MOP 5 motif ? Of course you could stay in the only bangle stack with a PerlĂ©e (sweet or PerlĂ©e d’Or)

Hello and welcome to the « club ». Well not sure. It may help but for myself I still am in the waiting wishlist so I think it isn’t sufficient 
 have to learn to wait for VCA đŸȘ·đŸ§˜đŸ»â€â™€ïž.

I think you will love it when it arrives, it is very easy to wear and carefree.
For prepaid waitlist items, it is a true waitlist. As production waves arrive, they are given in order to the order of pre-payment. When the wait list grows too long, they close off the option for prepayment/waitlist in order to catch up.
For “wishlist” items, for example limited edition or limited production items, purchase history could play a role.

Hi and welcome to the slippery slope. Did you leave a deposit which secures you the bracelet or simply put your name down? Also there really aren’t any tips besides VCA takes patience to acquire most often it will be available within 6 months to year. Your definitely not jumping the wait waiting list based on your current purchase history. You would need to make purchases that shows your a serious client then maybe your SA would prioritize but that’s all subjective. I place deposit and before you know it my items arrive.
