I am in for 2 if we over sell I can take just 1.  The movement is the only question it will be a nickle ETA 2824-2 or other 2824-2.

More from your pals at Orsa -


Hi everyone!

I have some good news:

1. I have sourced (I believe) enough movements for the project "in country". This is good news in terms of turn-around time - not fantastic news in terms of getting an even lower price than originally estimated - but I guess it's a good thing I estimated slightly higher!

2. Martin is fairly confident that we will have enough dials, cases and hands to complete the project on time - BUT we are waiting for final confirmation from Berg - young father with another full time job so please be patient with him as he works this out! Myself - I'm a cranky 38 year old married guy with two cats who gives career advice to young people who don't always listen - but that's another story!

3. We have received price estimates for the luming of the hands - and possibly of the indices - IMPORTANT - luming the indices adds something in the neighborhood of $50.00 per watch. I want you all to be aware of this cost, as we are not going to just "slap it in there" and make you accept it.
We have also located someone to do the dials with the logo. If we add the individual number on the dial, this will put the price quite high again - how about engraving on the case back AND between the lower lugs a'la Rolex?

4. You guys are a FANTASTIC group! You are our core customers, and the reason why Berg (The Visionary) Dion (ORSAs Napster) and yours truly (need an evocative nickname - used to be "boy wonder" but at 38 I'm pehaps a little past it - am open to suggestions!) are doing this! Yes - we want Orsa to grow, and it is great that we can take on projects like this while we do!

Lastly - I have worked hard to find a way to make this project happen even if we don't reach 33. It does mean a bit more money for each person if we don't, but nothing out of the ordinary - perhaps $15 - $25 each. This is something that we might be able to do every year - so be ready!

I am confident that providing Berg confirms enough supplies, we will be able to deilver by Christmas!

More soon -


Your friend at Orsa -


James Henderson

Engraving on the case backs and between the lugs are fine with me. Although I do like the idea of it being on the dial a bit better. But thats up to the rest, As for the luming-what color again? And exactly what is to be lumed? Thanks.

James Engraving the caseback sounds good to me....:) I understand these will not be the Swiss Made versions but will they be exactly as the Orange and Black dial models including the Movement and Overall Construction hand6.gif

Oscar, I think the first two runs were assembled in Asia and we are looking at made in the USA Sea Anglers.
