Huck that watch sold for 4 grand when it was released and if you buy one your jaw will drop and how absolutely big it is and overbuilt to the max but then it has to be for 12,000 ft:D....it comes in super sweet packaging and all val.7750 COSC paperwork and documentation from the lab that built the 12,000 ft. tank it was tested in.....it is 49mm by 28mm thick and weighs some 285 grams with a 8mm thick saph crystal that is again like the watch in the Guiness Book of World records because it sizes down under pressure and you get that paperwork too....nothing like it imho...ask Johnny....he has my old yellow dial one and I now have a silver dial still NIB just for bragging rightsyahoo.gif hucky wrote: I saw that this morning hand6.gif |

Another amazing thing about this watch is the case is so thick you can not even hear the movement ticking......this thing is a tank.....I'm really tempted to jump on another one at this price |

I should have just remembered the pics of the one you purchased. I ordered the black one just before I got one of the girls from gymnastics. Thanks O. |

The black would have been my choice this time around and you will love it E!...Congratshand6.gif....knowing you E from a manufacturing and engineering standpoint you will really appreciate it...the use of combination od/id lug screws is amazing and even the link screws are double the size of any I have seen used....the caseback is huge as is the crystal yourock.gif ....I can't pull it off on the bracelet as Johnny can with his 10 in. wrist but the rubber strap which again is very custom and the buckle fits me well and that is what I wore mine on and for diving the huge size does not matter and is a big advantage imo...forgot to mention lume is Awesome...I may have to break out my silver one but if there are any left next week at this price I will snag another....this price with the extra 15% off is just way too good to pass up....not only because it is a spectactular watch but it is a COSC Val.7750 and no way can you buy that alone for $1075. TY again Nick for the enabler Buddy....good looking out!perfect.gif |

I told myself last night when I went to bed if there were still watches available this morning I was going to buy another one... So I get up, check out the thread and see Huck's post that only yellow dials were left....as many of you know my wife has one rule when it comes to buying watches, I can buy ANYTHING I want as long as it does not have a YELLOW dial, she hates everything yellow, watches, cars, trucks, etc. So now I have a dilemma, but then I see my "good buddy" Oscar's post that said "the yellow is the nicest IMHO"....soooo I show the post to my lovely wife and say "sweetie, here's a guy that really knows his watches and in his opinion he thinks the yellow is the nicest one available". Now I'm not sure if that's what did it or if the fact I just bought her a $5,000 sewing machine helped, but the outcome was a a new yellow dial 12000 footer is incoming.  I choose to believe it was the former rather than the later, so thanks Oscar, you da man!!!! I also agree with Oscar on the rubber strap instead of the bracelet, wears much nicer on rubber....the problem I had with the rubber strap that came with my silver dial is with my woman's size wrist I could pretty much almost wrap it around twice. So I purchased a 24mm rubber strap and cut it down to 20mm to fit the lugs and it looks great....here's a couple pics, it's not perfect but this was the first shot at it.   |

Hey Oscar, every one of these watches I've seen have the year 2005 on the back, the first year of production.....i believe they were going to make a limited number, around 350, per year. Do you know if any were made other than in 2005? |

Nick it was released in 05' and I beleieve the total on the LE was 365...here is the complete history of the Charmex 12,000 from idea,testing etc. to actual watchhand6.gif http://www.12000feet.com/en/idee.php |

I wanted to verify for sure exactly how many of these watches had been made so I sent an email off to Charmex yesterday and got this response back from a Frank Burgin this morning.... Thank you for your e-mail and for buying two of our flagship products. All 365 cases were manufactured in 2005; over a period of two years we then assembled these 365 watches and sold all but 15 of them so far. The total production therefore is 365 pieces and there won’t be any more of this watch. We will however launch a new divers watch at this year’s BASELWORLD – more information will be sent to all buyers of the 12’000 FEET soon. So it's kind of cool that there were only 365 of these made, |
