How to buy a vintage OEC?

[jaqjaqjaq]

I started thinking about what I wanted in Oct 2024 and requested a quote at that time. We did a couple CADs that were very small changes from the inspiration CAD they did a few years back. Then I let them know I was pausing until the new year. Then I spent two months thinking and planning and putting together my design document on my own. Then I contacted them again in January and we worked exchanging CADs for about 4 weeks. We did about 4-5 major CAD revisiting that time. Sometimes I would send revisions the next day, and sometimes it would be a week or two between them sending me a CAD and me sending a revision. We did not exchange design consultation emails per se, mostly it was me sending design boards and CAD revisions and them replying “like this” and attaching a file? A few times I asked questions about durability of the delicate gallery, metal choice, stone setting order etc. I approved CADs in early Feb.

I figure they have many clients and I’m just one of them, so they likely aren’t thinking about me at all between emails lol.

Thank you for the timeline and perspective I think I could stand to be a little more patient with myself LOL! And I guess you’re right, their world doesn’t totally revolve around me and my couple of emails and tweaks
