Great looking passes gentlemen. I'll have to chime in with my thoughts.

I am very interested in a 3T LE but not very interested in an overall enhanced presentation to include box, tools and straps. Frankly I have all the boxes, tools and straps I need and don't want to blow bang on extras. I want all the bang to be spent on the watch. Send the sucker in the standard cardboard box!!

I feel the tried and true Sea Angler with modded dial, hands and bezel would make for a wonderful 3T LE. Exactly what that means reamins to be seen. The watch must have a sapphire crystal as all Sea Anglers should...mine doesn't!!

Price also reamins a concern. with a guaranteed order of 45 pieces we should recive special pricing. I may be out of line but I fear James' feedback leads me to think perhaps Orsa would like to sell 45 $1000 Special Editions. don't know about y'all, but that won't fly for me as I feel the Sea Angler is a moderatley priced tool diver with a lot of bang for the buck. Again, I don't need sevearl hundred dollars worth of premium packaging and special tools.

That being said I like what I've seen and heard, expect pricing to play a part and sincerely hope this comes to fruition with a 3T LE that I can wear with pride. I WANT GREEN ON THAT SUCKER!!

Cheers,

 

Pax

Dear Pax,

Fair concern, but clearly you don't know me that well -

I am CHEAP!

Part of the pricing structure of Orsas is to keep them affordable. Having said that, people are asking for saph. crystals, and a special logo dial. Will that drive the price through the roof - of course not! However, it will add to the price. I cannot state for certain what the final price will be - I am imagining between $500 - $600 would be the area we're talking about, but stay tuned.

James-

I prefer the term thrifty!! This is exactly what I would want and expect...but this is just one member's opinion. I look forward to learning more.

Sean you're concepts are awesome but I don't think a Marathon Case is going to come into play :P:P We need to keep it simple to keep costs down and the more deviations from The Sea Angler we travel the more it will cost so everyone Please keep this in mind hand6.gif....Extra frills are nice but Bottom Line is going to be Price...Some of Us have already been through this process and the longer it takes to come to an agreement the longer the 3TLE will take to get to the Manufacturer...Plus How Many Members will be Committed to Spending $500-$600 on a 3T Orsa LE....this is the Very Bottom Line...so let's see some Hands before We even get Started ...jmhocool10.gif

I did put it back in a orsa case:D Give me a flat pic of the dial oscar, and some input from other members about colors and what to put on the dial. At the moment its just a idea. a rough draft. With some more input I can run inventor and do a working model. Orsa already has a awesome case. the bezel needs to be toned down and less prone to taking a hit. When I get another one I'll design solid end-links so any bracelet will fit:cool:

I will deff. take one! I am already preparing to sell two maybe three of my watches that don't get to much wrist time anymore. Like I said before, must have saph. for the lens. As for color I like blue, braclet is nice, but since I recieved my orange monster with the rubber on it, I kind of like it=comfy. See thru-back is nice. But to tell the truth I am preeety tight on  my pockets opening. LOL $500-625 is ok with me, more? I don't think i'd do it.

I would take one or 2 depending on the price and little one  insisting that she gets a watch for every one I buy, I created a monster.  I do not have to have Sapphire if it would help us make the 45 sold goal.  Hell it would be worth buying 2 to see a 5' 90lbs female try to wear it.
