Hi Steve I guess the question is whether the administrators want to a. control the sale of 3T "special watches" ( and it looks like we are talking specifically about Orsa here...) to only active members; b. control (to a certain extent) the manner and time that inactive members resell their watches into the general marketplace to preserve values and prevent a "fire sale"; or c. secure a discount from the manufacturer for 3T members who have been "loyal" and who deserve a bit of a discount - while those too slow or off the forum have to pay retail. But then again - Berg keeps selling everything he can make, so it is a bit academic! And good on him, I say. Beautiful watches... IMHO there are good reasons for all of those goals - and I hope everyone's best interests are met. I'm a newbie. I enjoy the participation, and I simply look forward to the time that my words turn into actions and I can get my hands on some more of the fabulous watches that members have accumulated on the site here. Thats an enviable collection you have there Steve - I have a while to go before I catch up! And while you guys wake up - I am off home now for a rest at the end of the working day. Good talking to you - Cheers - IanM May the worst bit of your future be as good as the best bit of your past.

Boy am I mixed over this one. The design and homage is either a love hate to me and I waffle from one to the other... Is 07 in the business of making homage watches??

They use off the shelf cases that others have used before so a few of the watches look similar to to others so some call them homage. Others may see it different than me though. rev_smile.gif

Mitch has always said that the 'inspiration' for the start of Ocean7 with the LM-1LE was the "PloProf"; as can be seen in the use of the plongeur dial and hands but with a unique case (not off -the-shelf, 'mold' was destroyed after production run). The LM-7 is a return to his original inspiration - with some twists. I look forward to getting one of these on my wrist as well. ;) Scuba Steve wrote: Paxman wrote:Boy am I mixed over this one.

I couldn't remember if the LM-1 was an original mold or not. I was thinking it was inspired by something else but you just reminded me that it indeed was inspired by the PloProf and I do remember he stated the molds were destroyed.

I just checked the pre-order thread and Mitch has locked me in for #47 - to match my LM-1LE and LM-2 serial numbers... hand6.gif
