as much as I would like to see a bronze Megalodon I believe the cost would be a bit much for many WIS.Much of the attraction besides superior build,design and lume of the past Megs has been that Ralf & Steve have been able to keep the cost under $1000.
A bronze Meg would probably run in the sub $2000. range due to the massive size of the Meg and the likelihood of a bracelet would be none ... in all probability we would be seeing it replaced with a fitted rubber strap that may be in the design stages at this point for future Megs,which would be fine by me....perhaps a limited run may come available but again the smaller the number of production the higher the cost.
...now a Ti Meg would be something more probable but again at a higher cost as Ti is more expensive than SS but at least a bit more attainable by most WIS and a Ti bracelet would be awesome as would be the entire package imho.
... rising costs have also hit the HK manufacturers as much as the Swiss so I believe as WIS we need to become tolerant and aware of what may or may not come as far as future pricing of the Megalodon III and all watches when it comes to light in 2011.
