Oscar and I are proud to officially introduce the BOSCHETT Cave Dweller. 

* 1000M
* 44mm case
* 22mm lugs
* Miyota 8215
* Sapphire








And thanks to Zarith for his awesome case-back design.  Please join me in congratulating him on earning a complementary cave-dweller for his efforts.


The watches are in the works.  We will be doing 50 with the yellow accents and 50 with the orange.  Of course all will be individually serialized.  The production time is scheduled for 120 days, give or take.

Thanks for looking.  And as Linda Richman would say "talk amongst yourselves" subtlelaugh.gif

The price will be competitive to other current watches with similar specs.  As soon as one is finalized I will certainly make it known. 

Feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Keith,

I like the new hands. The previous ones were looking a bit old-fashioned...

I have a few questions:

-What is the lugs to lugs size?
-How thick is the sapphire crystal?
-Is it a 60 or 120 clicks bezel?
-What kind of clasp will it use?
-Is the bracelet attached to the case with a standard spring bar?

Teddy - this is the final version.  No changes will be made.

Zarith - The clasp will be similar the the one on the Reef Ranger.  The bracelet is a full 22mm wide throughout and will be attached to the case via a spring bar.  The other questions I will get for you, Oscar has the sample at the moment and I can't remember.

I'll see what I can do.  Oscar has the watch with him now.  I only have a few pics, but you should know that it came with a standard dial on a rubber strap, housing a quartz.

Is a rubber strap going to be available?

Maybe a "package" of some sorts. Meaning the watch comes with both the bracelet and the rubber strap.boy10.gif

Are they done yet???subtlelaugh.gif

Here's a pic of the sample for a "real live" look.  It's the best I got.  Ignore the dial.

Is the Cave Dweller the same watch as the No.02 we saw a couple of weeks ago?

No, it's a completely different case.  The Cave Dweller discussion began in that thread though.

So, there are three watches forthcoming?  The Cave Dweller, No. 02, and Ocean Mariner?

The No2 case is on the back burner.  I'll probably get around to doing it, just don't know when.

This watch looks awesome. The caseback is really impressive as well. Nice design work there. Is it done yet??? (kidding)

I see one in my future.

Zarith from this forum deserves all the credit for the case-back design.

What grade superluminova will these have? Being a cave dweller and the shear size of the luminous markers, I hope that the grade will be on the higher end of the spectrum.

That way this waych can give a lot of other high lume watches some stiff competition!

Any idea?

BGW9, the same that is on the Reef Ranger.

This thing should glow like a torch.

Keith,

Are you going to be taking pre order deposits or anything like that?

Hi Keith, I have a question regarding the dial. The CAD drawing looks like the hour markers are raised, applied metal markers that are filled with lume. Is this correct?

Thanks, Dave
