 Do we have an estimate for final price yet? I'm really excited about this possibility, but budget is tight, even with selling off a couple watches to make room/$$.

TIA, David

 No problem :cool: That's the range I'd seen, just wondering if it had changed at all. I'll keep my eyes peeled, this is exciting stuff!

 Oscar, please reserve one for me. The USA version may make it more collectable the way I see it

I spoke with Berg earlier today, and we have a possible solution to help "put some wheels" under this project and get it moving.

We have between 30 - 50 of the black dials that were used in the black orsa run of earlier run this year. In addition, we also have cases, crowns, everything that we need ALREADY!

If we can get our hands on enough ETA ebauches, we would be ready to roll. Here is what we would do:

Take the original black dials, have a 3T logo applied, and then have it "re-lumed" to create a green lume effect for the hour/minute markers. We would do the same with the hour and minute hands. Because we already have these supplies, we would not have to special order anything, thus keeping the cost down, and so long as we could lay hands to enough ebauches, we could have this entire project done quickly - maybe as early as Christmas. I NEED TO STRESS - this is assuming that we can get the ebauches and that we have enough orders. We could run as small a number as few as 25 or so (more expensive), and MAYBE as many as 50 (less expensive), but this is depending upon our ability to lay hands to enough of the black dials - we will need to do a final head count.

ALSO - these would be assembled in the US, NOT in Swizerland. The upside of this is a quicker turn-around, and a slightly higher quality than the earlier versions.

It SHOULD also mean a fair certainty that we can lock in a lower price than if we had to do the whole thing from scratch. It does mean that in terms of a full-on new dial design, etc. it would have to wait for a later run.

Please let me know what you think of this option.

 I have been trying to stay out of trouble, but, it has not worked. Why not get ShopNBC to sell these at $2,495?
