Well if/when you take on that project, take lots of pictures and post them. Make sure you alert us who follow the mark bugs threads.
A WAE2 jumped out of the case and in to my hand, last week, when I went in to have some P3's upgraded. I adopted it. While the Erlk looks lovely as a topper, I'm guessing the GEM will be perfection. From Qorax's photos, it looks as though I may even be able to manage the build! 
. So, where does one (pre)order a GEM?

One doesn't. One pays attention to this thread and checks the Bugs site regularly. [emoji3]

^^^. Thanks! I just found this thread and have bookmarked it ...
wouldn't even try to make a guess, but I'm sure MB knows how many WE's he's sold. I would hope that would be the starting point and add 20% to that to account for those who just want the Atty and those who plan on buying a WE later depending if they can score a GEM. After all if the GEM performs better than an Erl, Squape and Rose, it will sell more WE's. Anyone buying a 21mm GEM will want a 21mm Mod to run it.
There hasn't been a day in two months that I haven't thought about getting the GEM to march my WAE. I don't feel comfortable with the thought of only 150 initial GEM's. Internet advertising is global. The GEM completes the package!
Whatever that secret number is, I want one on my WE or I'm going to be a very unhappy camper.

With Q as you're insider in this thread, a manufacturer who isn't taking advanced orders and can't get his production act together - if you pay attention to this thread and have the money in hand on the day orders are taken you will own one ....... unless you forget to order.[emoji3]

B'coz of this thread Drip-tips are added into the package. Those are being made now, which is the reason of this current delay.
The way it looks - next weekend I should be able to release the full video
Alongwith the Date Notification

Wait... I'm a little stumped.
A drip tip wasn't included in the original package? Or more were added?
If it was the first one, I am well and truly shocked.

Drip-tip wasn't in the initial thoughts of this project. And I'm not aware of many Hi-end attys coming with a drip-tip either.
Q- thanks, that is a very important addition. If half of the sales are going to be for people like myself trying to match up to their WAE you would certainly want a matching drip tip because you can't get it anywhere else.[emoji4] And when you put together a package with two decks and a drip tip it is looking very appealing.

Qorax, thanks for the updated information. Looking forward to the video -- it's a bit like waiting for Christmas!
Qorax, thanks for the update...it's almost within reach now, and a matching drip tip is a great addition. Waiting a bit more for it is OK by me.

Define "high end", as every single atty in my signature came with a drip tip. lol
Obviously you've owned a lot more attys and may find it more acceptable, but I find the thought of not including a drip tip a little stingy.
Doesn't matter if it's a cheap delrin one or a fancy metal, a drip tip is not a "disposable" item like coils/wick etc and should always be part of the basic package.
I'm sorry, but supplying attys without a drip tip is like selling shoes without the laces included!
Even more-so as this Gem isn't a standard finish, matching an aftermarket tip to its look won't be easy in the slightest.
edit: possible correction, the Calix without the "air-tip" option, did that come with a standard drip tip? I dunno.

You see, the only attys I have with stock drip-tips are the Erlk, K4, SqR and a Taifun-GS. Btw, I don't use any of those drip-tips
I use my own on them.Given a choice I'd go for 'without drip-tip' with a lower pricing always
