I have just finished talking with Ralf and this project could become a reality in the price range of around $1600. We discussed using the all bronze bezel and not the lume insert, The rubber strap will look nice, but a little small for some people, so I thought about using a leather zulu with PVD hardware. The case backs and crowns could be titanium and coated PVD to match. The dials could be black, blue, and brown, sun brushed metallic under black tooth ring. We are using up all of the CuSn8 for the bronze Moray project so we need to order more bronze. It could also be done with the regular ETA 2824-2 instead of the top grade, depending on the availability of the top grade.
Awesome Steve!!!
Loving the sound of this, and a really vintage looking leather zulu would be a very cool combination! Heck, one of my favorite combos on the Mega is a nice thick leather strap...you could also consider a thick leather strap (left extra thick at the lug bars to fill in any gap that may exist due to a thinned-at-the-lugs strap which is more typical), but the leather zulu sounds great too!
Sun brushed metallic versions on the dials sounds pretty good...I would personally prefer a solid, more matte version dial, or even a gloss enamel looking solid color on the dials, but I'll think a bit more on that...
A Bronze Mega would be so sweet!
