 in trying to keep everyone on the same page this is what Ralf posted on the Megalodon and what it will be,size,price,movement and when it may be in production(5-6 mos.away)....1st 4 dials pictured ....no carbon fiber for the 1st 100 hand6.gif


Today I got news from the MEGALODON

The quotation is much higher than I thought, but ok with some small changes it could work and we can stay by the $550 early pre order price.

I still have to sell Sea Devils , the Moray will come and I also have to pay my long long time ago ordered Fricker Divers.
Normally this is the worst time to start a new project but the Megalodon created so much interest that I cannot say it is only a dream.
I want it and I guess and hope you too.
 
 Now what is finally most important  for me is how many will really buy for $550 (in steel) with $250 deposit with the conditions below.




 
- Expected release is in 5 month - 6 month
 -Eta 2824 movement
 -47mm case with 49mm bezel
- Steel bracelet
- bezel design #1 but with 3 different options, luminos acrylic or enamel , alloy inlay      and  steel
- sapphire cristal
- WR minimum 500m maybe a bit more
- very very close to the design below  (first 4 dials only) brushed dark grey and different hands
 I know we discused a second dial but almost all who asked me for a reservation asked for dial one, so I think if the interest is really as high I have to make 100 pcs from dial one to satisfy all reservations

 It can become reality!
 
Btw.
PVD coating ($50) or DLC coating( I still have to check the exact price ) is also possible
