Must be an oversight on your behalf.
At last it has arrived! Yes, my new Krupp 87 C is indeed home and installed in pride of place in the spoon safe today.
I can hardly describe my excitement but I shall recount the events of what has undoubtedly been the greatest day of my life so far.
This morning, I went to the showroom for the unveiling and handover ceremony. I must say those chaps and chapesses at the Krupp main dealers in Mayfair certainly know how to make an occasion of it. Cheesy Whatsits everywhere, and twiglets too, washed down with a can of Stella Artois, or possibly two.
After getting to the showroom at 8am in good time for the 9am opening, there it was, under a green velvet cover. At precisely 10.14 am, at which point the sunlight was no longer shining on the cover, it was safe to unveil (prior to that, the risk of the reflected sun blinding someone was just too great).
So there she was, in all her glory. The bowl the perfect balance between depth and curve, the designer, who was there in person, said that part was inspired by Kate Moss. As the cognoscenti reading this thread will appreciate, the "C" in 87 C stands for competition. On the 87 the shaft is rotated through ninety degrees when compared to the traditional orientation in order to better control the Bernoulli effect in the heat of battle. The bowl/shaft junction also takes account of the very latest tribology studies. These technological strides are equally beneficial whether one is stirring competitively or holding the 87 C in a hand that is trembling with excitement and anticipation.
It wasn't cheap, but quality always costs and the expenditure pales into insignificance in the light of her beauty. Because she is going to be used for competition, it is not road-registered so I can save the VAT. That kind Mr B. Lib arranged a discount in view of the potential publicity expected to arise from future competition successes, and the epistemological advances that are likely to arise in said competition. It may also result in me mercilessly promoting it on the Internet forums. All in all it came in at just under six figures which has to be a bargain, surely.
It was a toss up between this or a 458 Italia, but I've never been more sure that I've made the right decision - just one glance at this masterpiece of design and construction makes that as clear as a mint tea in a glass on a sunny day.

I had high hopes for you Fessia when you first graced this thread; it seems however you’re little more than a corporate shill for Krupp spoons. Was it a one off discount or are you on retainer? The malevolent hand of Krupp rears it’s ugly head once more.You've always been the jealous type, wolfracesonic. Well, ever since that time in Biarritz 
I hope you love and cherish your very special 87(c) for many years to come, Fessia Fancier. As I mentioned to you as you handed over the bags of used 20s - (hard to come by at the moment, I can tell you! ) keep the spoon in full auto mode for a week or two. The realigned shaft plays havoc with your wrist if you're not attuned to how the return flange engages mid-stir. Lift off and you're a gonna.
It was a pleasure to do business with you.
If anyone else is interested in purchasing one of these EXTREMELY RARE, EXCLUSIVE & EXCITING 87(c)s then PM me on here. I know where I can get hold of a barrel load of 'em!

Apologies for the radio silence since the day of the great 87 C handover. Life has been like living in a vortex since the fragrant Greta sent me on my way, spoon in hand.
All was well at the beginning, but sad to say the excitement concomitant with the new addition, lead me to overlook the sage advice from that kind Mr Blib about keeping the spoon in automode for a week or two. Instead, I ventured out on a non-competitive stir day at the local fish tank shop, to get my eye in for competitive stirring in a low risk environment - nothing to hit, I thought.
Well Mr Blib did warn me about the snappy lift-off overstir, but I was sadly unprepared for the unpredictable edginess and just after lunch time disaster befell the 87 C and heavy damage sadly occurred.
My insurers have pointed out in clause 496 of the policy that fish tank use isn't insured. It has taken quite a whack, and I fear might be a write-off. Interestingly, it appears that it might have been a "cut and shut" job, once the filler was all knocked off in the impact.
Do you think it repairable, or shall I have to get a short term replacement from the Argos (now digital only) catalogue?
Oh how I wish I had listened to Wolfracesonic.....
