Okay all -
Here is the "mostly" final word from Martin and me on the pricing:
You have two options - the majority will rule:
With an advance order of 25 - we will run 30 pieces (still sticking with the 3 theme), with an advance order of 28 - we will run 33 pieces
Option 1: A black dialed Sea Angler with either a black or s/s bezel, engraved watch number, 3T logo in the 3T green, a 3T green minute or hour hand, certificate of ownership, mineral crystal, one year waranty, etc. The cost for this will be between $550 - $575. We have had to out source additional components that we did not have on hand, and we will need to go through three (yep, count em - 3) diffeent venders to get the dial the way we want it. p.s. - we're happy to do it! Our hope is for $550.00 plus whatever shipping option you opt for.
Please bear in mind that the price for the new Lume Model - code name still pending -is $500.00 and will have a run of 50 pieces, and I'll let you in on a little secret - it is a pain in the )*$ getting something done for only 30 or 33! BUT YOU ARE ALL SO WORTH IT!!! So please hear that with love - but also understand that we have more logistical issues to sort out with this than with the line coming directly from Switzerland, and thus the cost is a bit more.
Option 2: Same as above, but with a completed "re-lumed" (indicies) dial in the 3T green, and possibly two (2) re-lumed hands, and - no this is not a promise, but we will see if it is do-able - a crystal upgrade. The cost for this will be $650.00
Now, before ANYONE starts sending money, etc. think these two options over. A simple option would be for those of you who want to get your dial re-lumed to do that on your own after you buy the watch - same goes for a sapphire crystal. That way we can be confident of bringing this baby in at or very near $550.00
I will also give you a heads-up - any future Sea Angler "special editions" will absolutely be a minimum of $100 more than the current "regular" Sea Angler pricing.
Also consider that the Orange and Black Sea Anglers are re-selling for $50 - $100 over original purchase price. This is no guarantee that this will happen for this model, but there seems to be a very real "cult of Orsa" growing out there, and my suspicion is that Orsa collectors might really want one of these once they hear about them.
The ball - or fish - is in your court!
I will leave it to Oscar to work out with you guys which way you'd like to go on this!
