Roy, is this the start of a new wave of watch making? I'd love one of your watches, but I would really prefer something in the 42/43mm range. I'm sure I'm not alone. Small bespoke orders sounds the way to go!
Sounds good, can't wait to see what it'll be like, but at only 10 in the run I've a feeling this will be somewhat over subscribed...-) any idea on pricing yet?
There's one already, Hugh...after you post, you should see a box that says 'Options'....to the right of the quote and edit button at the bottom L of your post. Click that and it should say 'Delete'....Confirm, and your post will magically disappear! :thumbsup:
I'm going to use NOS 25 Jewel ETA movements, probably ETA 2878/9 series. Not sure yet but I already have these and if they fit the cases, which I think they will then would reduce the price considerably, obviously if someone particularly wants a 2824 then there will be a premium as they are expensive. More news when I've checked the cases
The movements are just a little older, with no hacking mechanism. Could also fit the Asian copy 2824. The Genuine Swiss 2824 would make the watch at least £100 more.
Well I am in. I make it a rule to only buy Omegas at the moment but for this I will bend it.
