THE IDEA OF 1-33 IS SO VERY COOL
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 -
