slask111 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Just wondering if you have seen this. Its a daunting task but Luthier (george) seems to have pulled this one off. Looks awesome, i have reserved one. http://www.rwg.bz/board/index.php?showtopic=35912 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panerai153 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Very nice looking watch. I like the blue dial version, but don't know how it will look with the s/s black bracelet. Better all stainless or maybe on a strap. I may order one, although I'm watch poor right now!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFog Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 I'm liking the blue, but not sure if it'll suit the s/s&black rubber strap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 What I would really like to see is them do a diver homage to the Rolex Deep Sea Challenge!! now that would be a hunk of stainless anyone could be proud of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noel Fleischer Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 (edited) Yep- I ordered a black one. I prefer all SS bracelet too. Gotta give those guys Luthier and Sol a lot of credit. Also has some 'sentimental value'- I ordered # 035 and I am member # 35 as well. Edited October 14, 2012 by Noel Fleischer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cougar1 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 I saw it the other day, at first I went wow, but now that I've had another look at it not so sure. A cracking design definitely and fair play to the creators, but a lot of polished surfaces going on there (Breitling fans will be happy) and the middle part of the bracelet is not right ...saying that, the case, the hour markers especially and dial look cool, so does the red chrono hand. ....in fairness to the guys involved they should start their own company....companies like CW, Steinhart are making huge bucks dooing less original stuff.

panerai153 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 How are the sales coming over there? i managed to read through about 12-13 pages then skipped to the last three pages. I didn't see a list of the ones who signed up. could you let me know what page the latesrt list is on? @slask, What watch is that on the diver in your signature photo?

KB Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Good luck with the project but shouldn't the watch be Collaboration 2 seeing as Collaboration 1 already exists? Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 i believe that everyone over there that has been around for a while is trying to forget collaboration 1 !!. I was in on that deal, and actually got a watch, but I believe that there were quite a few folks who got stiffed in that deal. I am assuming that the one we are talking about was the Omega Railmaster homage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Yes the same, but what you may not be aware of is that when we first started this board we raised revenue to refund all those that did not receive their watch but then Blade came back and many actually ended up getting what they paid for...oh and kept the refund too. Ken Edit to add; The point is all those that do have the C1, and I believe Trailboss is one such owner, wont have a problem with a C2 but having another C1 from another site will be like Rolex making a PO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UmpaHimself Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 I've got mine reserved. Can't wait. I got the blue, Luth is saying he might ask for dark blue rubber on that strap. If not, I might just put it on a nice croc band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solkryssare Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Thank you guys. I'm glad you like it. It was hard work but worth it This watch is not a forum project. This is a gift to the forum from Luthier. A gift I'm proud of helping him realise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't a forum-sponsored project btw, it's a project that Luthier has organised together with sol and WatchInternational, so the 'collaboration' model name really wasn't appropriate.

KB Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 sorry I thought I saw somewhere that it was mentioned as the C1 but obviously not. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 I really like the watch. i believe that they should be commended for all the time ,effort and money they expended to get this project off the ground. i would be up for one in Blue if there are any still available. I asked someone above if they could give me the info on where a list was located on the other forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked someone above if they could give me the info on where a list was located on the other forum. Just pm Luthier and he will help you with a watch.. if there are any left. They closed the public list. Im just happy to be apart of this watch.. even if its only as a customer. It belongs in any rep collectors watchbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the IWC diver (2010) model i believe. You can get it as a rep but not a 1:1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
