[Spoooooonz]

What is the minimum number of pieces needed for one of the rep factories to undertake a project?

Four figures at LEAST I would say, but I could be way off

One thousands pieces isn't so bad. So I reckon the wholesale on a standard stainless steel, sappihre crystal, eta watch is about $100. Get a good design and you could start a watch brand. Outside of replicas you are hard pressed to get a watch with eta movement and sapphire crystal for under $300.

I have no friggin' clue. Is it here now?? Hmmm, I guess I'll find that out as soon as I post this because I saw it, too.

Still here?

I have talked to Sash about it in the past. His min. number is 300.

A dealer told me he needed 500 pieces

why where you thinking of designing a custom watch then selling it?

that would be pretty cool, your very own watch brand!

It sure would. If it takes off, the rep manufacturers already have the patterns.

I would believe 500 is a very valid number. How many gens have you seen put out as a limited edition of 500 pieces? Gevril drove me nuts with this. I bought a few GV2s when they first started making them again. Then they would change a dial color and call it another "Limited Edition" ... of 500 pieces.

Hmmm. I'm interested in where this is going and would be curious to try something like this out.

[Watchmeister]

I have heard on a number of occasions that it is a 1,000 pieces if you are having a dedicated movement made and substantially less otherwise.

how bout a 1:1 submariner?

I was thinking something more along the lines of...

There is already stuff like that on the bay..Look at Alpha, Apogaum,,etc,,there are a number of those floating around..Unless it was a real good movement there's really no point

i think that a custom watch with some kind of RWG link/branding that can only be bought from this site would be very cool, and also you could make it very limited e.g 500.pcs so that maybe one day collectible and valuable amongst rep collectors, who knows it could be rep'ed further down the line!

No-o-o-o!

You'll get some of the old timers crying into their Horlicks.

Yeah something like an Omega Railmaster would be nice, limitcd cdition model.

@ Pugz

I am actually amazed that Ben's comment on this thread hasn't made 200 odd members:

Cry like babies

Smash something

Laugh like hyeenas

Post something in response

I can feel an RWG3 coming on.....
