Your right, Berg replied to my question a bit ago... Thanks... hand6.gif  I can't believe he has not sold out yet? Correct me if I am wrong but the Angler is a limited time piece?

Well, specially this one since there was only a limited amount of eta 2824-2 available.
So yeah I guess you can say that no more Swiss made mechanical ORSA from now on....

Yes only 50 made of each issue except for the 3T Sea Anglers which is only 25. Some are numbered LE others not. My Lume is numbered but my Orangia is not. But yea just 50 each. ;)

These gray and orange dialed variants of the Sea Angler (with the date at 4 o'clock) are the latest batch of Sea Anglers - only 10 were made I believe because that is how many dials the could obtain.  I could be wrong on that.  These will sell out quickly.

Here is a list of all production run Sea Anglers:

50x black and orange dials with orange hands
50x "orangina" dials (mostly orange) with white hands
50x Swiss Made silver dials aka "silver surfer" with black hands
50x Swiss Made lume dials with orange hands
10x 3T Sea Anglers with dials lumed C3 SL by Kent Parks - date at 6 o'clock
3x 3T Sea Anglers with dials by Duarte (I think) - date at 4 o'clock
15x most recent gray and orange dials with white hands - date at 4 o'clock

And thats it!  Over the years there have been a few prototype models owned by Berg, but these don't count in the numbers above I think.

Edit: corrected numbers after reading oscars post

That's what I thought also, that they were all sold based on the waiting list...but i decide to take advantage of it...since if i remember correctly, Martin was going to sell them for $575....

my understanding was that all the blk/orange Sea Aanglers were sold via pm pre-sale as well...face4.gif....as far as how many 3T LE Sea Anglers were made....13 was the total number made....I have no idea where Eric came up with his figure?....and 15 of this new one on the Bay was the reported # to me as some were sold to members prior to the ones on the bayhand6.gif

that is corerect as far as my last e-mail w/Berg and that does not mean this is the final production # as Berg has been known to produce more as movements become available to him....and they are black dials w/orange chapter numerals hand6.gif

Thanks for the info...I just wanted an Orange Swiss Automatic Sea Angler....from other posts it was said that he will continue making the Sea Anglers but in Quartz....I have the black dial, orange hands, Sea Angler and Seiko 6309-7040 that keep most accurate time....out of all my babies...

So only 3 more were made after the initial 10?  I thought 15 more were offered after the initial 10.  Sorry for the confusion.

I thought the ebay link said "10 total" made of the latest orange/gray variant.  Maybe I misread that too.  (update: ok I read the rest of the thread - apparently 5 of the 15 were sold through 3T, the others are on ebay).

Great clarification Oscar. ;)

But with such very low numbers made you can label them as extremely limited production issues. :cool:
