Never been on a golf course Oscar but this color looks great! I didn't know this kind of steel in fact: Lamp posts are galvanised up here if I recall well. A bezel with this maroon rust color on the bronze case would be a killer

I think Shimano and Daiwa use this material for their rods and reels. I think one or 2 of my rods uses this. That color would be very luxurious if used on a watch case.

hi everybody, first of all, i am realy sorry that i am lately did not have time to answer eveyr PM or email. i am doing most of the work myself. and sometimes 16 hours a day are not enough. please forgive me. after long testing the material i have used for the new bezel and caseback i have decided not sell this complete watch. i will ad these parts as an extra for the new version. the material is unique and so is the apperance, everytime it looks different, so i can not make pics and sell this. as every watch would look different and people would say "hey i did not order this watch". but i dont have time to make a pic of each watch. now i am doing a different material. but this material will look same on each watch. and first time ever i will start to take downpayments. as this is also limited run i want that the first ones get the watch they want.

maybe there is a misunderstaning. i mean the new bronze version of the 1500. the nautilus will take longer to get it done.

Will the new bronze version of the 1500 have that same nautical look?

Kazim, The Nautilus was a great looking diver and the Eintausen didn't get to replace it totally even the case is very similar: Maybe because of the bezel's insert and etching's difference...? I think that many will be glad to see a Nautilus#2 coming out(without the same name): I know the problems you met about the name and even your own name as "Kenzo" when you tried to establish your own brand: Nothing's easy those days...Sadly. From my own point of view: A Nautilus reborn has it's place, maybe with a new touch? Still, on those Nautilus/Eintausen cases models, we could feel the Fricker influence and a somehow Dreadnought's design also reconnected on other models as the Benarus 1km a while after. On the other side, I find the 1500 really unique on it's own and there, you came out from the Fricker design and brought something really personal and majestic: And as I own one, I know what I talk about. I understand this new carbon steel trouble for the 1500: Sure you can't make pictures of exactly how the watch will be...But! Remember that you are now the guy who makes unique and low serial 100% Made-in-Germany watches: Uniqueness is what this unpredictable metal defines somehow. Isn't it? I think that your trusted customers will come for the surprise and will even make others willing to take the chance: This rust patina will never get to be ugly even it's not exactly the same on each watches. After all, we all want somehow something personal: The bronze models are there actually to answer a part of the demand on this patina modulation and uniqueness, so there is a market for the "unpredictable materials" as your carbon steel, even it might take time for some radicals to adjust to it. My point of view...

I agree completely. Bring on the unique watches! I would welcome having one that is not the same as all the others and would not mind at all some variation in the look. If you're making 50 watches for instance, I think just showing a series of quick snapshots illustrating the variation would be plenty to give people the idea of what they are getting. There is no need for expensive and time consuming professional product pics of each and every one. Your customers will understand they are getting something similar but slightly different than the basic model shown. I don't think there would be any disappointment if that is made clear from the start. Don't give up! ;)
