I now have the final info on the completion of the Megalodon 2 and the timing is going to work out just right. Ralf will be heading to the factory the first week of August for final inspections. I will be visiting family in Eagle/Vail, Colorado until August 10th. The watches will be shipped to me and hopefully arrive on the 11th. I will need to do my own inspecting and testing, as well as send out final invoices for payment before shipping. |

Hi Steve. Thanks for keeping us informed. Can't wait. I am ready to transfer the full amount when you are ready. Apologies for not taking you up on the $50 discount. I worked out the exchange rate here in NZ at that time was not favourable enough to make it worth my while. Dave B. |

Thanks mate. Thought I was the only owner of a 20,000ft in NZ. Apparently not looking at your details. Orginally I thought of the carbon version but with my diving I found it difficult to read the dial as clearly as i could the yellow. Through what channels did you purchase yours?  |

madhouse2009 wrote: Thanks mate. Hi Mate. Thanks for the reply. Looks like you are right about the CF. It seems a bit harder to read but my 52 year old eyes might be the blame more than the dial itself  . I bought my SMW straight from an AD (Gnomon Watches) in Singapore about a day after he received his shipment and designation as an AD. It's an eeriely accurate monster, right? |

Hi. I tried to get one through a dealer in AUS but they had never had one, plus they quoted me more than the Euro retail. I eventually emailed Charmex and ended up chatting with a guy called Frank. We sorted a great deal between us. I soon found out that I was actually dealing with the CO of the company Frank Burgen. As Frank said to me after the deal was completed. I am very happy to deal direct as the 20,000ft is my personal project. Mine is running at 1.5 secs gain after 4 days.  |

Wow! Mine is running fine at about 1 second slow every 2 or 3 days. Eeriely accurate.....COSC, of course. Give your SMW about 6 months of regular use and you'll get more accuracy and a more stable reading by then. I'm sure you know this but when you store it at night, keep it on your bedside table with the crown facing up/ceiling. After a few days, you may see some improvements. It's not easy to open the back to attempt a regulation. Cheers! |

Exciting news steve , can't wait and placed two more reservations for two upcoming benarus pieces M  |

Hi. I worked out it is averaging a gain of 0.4 secs a day so if it got even more accurate I would be checking inside for a COSC quartz movement. Frank is a great guy to talk to. I even have him as a friend on my Face Book page. |

Any idea on an est. ship date on the Mega II? Getting a little jumpy....  |

Steve has mentioned that he expects to have the watches in his possession by the 11th, so allowing four or five days for checks, balance payments etc, i should suspect they will be shipped around 15/16/17th? |

Perfect answer. Steve clearly indicated that supply should hopefully be with them from around the 12th. Fingers crossed!! The wait will be well worth it as I am sure the lucky 100 will agree. drool.gifdrool.gif |

Certainly am looking forward to my Blue dial PVD! |

Brushed red carbon with bezel insert. Although recently I sometimes wished I had gone down the PVD route with red carbon dial.  Anyone wish to switch? |

To be honest i could have happily chosen any of them, strangely with the exceptioon of the CF? |

Hi TheGreenmanalishi Just realized from your last post that you say you don't like the CF version yet isn't the blue PVD one you are waiting for a carbon dial? |
