Question on build date

Hi everyone! I have a build date for 11/20. Does this mean the g *starts* being built that day or is that the day it will be finished?

Thanks!

For my build of 10/30, it was the day it was finished.

Some say Tomato - some Tahmato - if you have straight info on that date from your dealer - then 11/20 will be on-or-about when it will be built/meaning complete.

Need to chill a bit - Nov 20 is a Friday - Graz will try to build/complete by that Friday afternoon - then it's at Graz/complete - Graz will try to load it that Saturday evening's train to German Port. Port is running behind on check-in so if it made that train it will show checked-in at Port (no ship assigned) by that Weds the 25th - it "should be" assigned to a ship that next week - to ship out that next following week - your Dealer will show "ship assigned" in his system but "most" (almost all) US dealer's don't have access to the ships name until after it leaves Port.

In "general" if you are Northeast or Southern your rig will be available here at US Port for 1st release - if you are Midwest and especially Western - then might get to your dealer a bit/not-that-long after 1st release.

Excitement often feels like anxiety - don't let the process get to you - right now G's are running smoothly - and the only "issue" is that 1st US release date really.
