4fun Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Yes 4fun, I meant rose gold But, did Archibald confirm it to you? When I asked him by PM about the quality of the gold he said that the model he meant in the first post was in 18K yellow gold, not rose. From the photos I seem to like the rose gold model quite more than the yellow one. Maybe because I love the AP Offshore models in that metal (Montoya, Pride of Russia)... I'll try to confirm that with Archibald. Anyway, I like either yellow or rose gold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lim: I know I wrote a reply, sorry if it didn't arrive...I'll send again. Chronus: I have you as part of the 10...is this right? EL informs me that he is travelling often--as soon as he replies to my last PM i will update immediately. Sorry guys...yellow gold only. I prefer rose gold (and most muller gens are in rose gold). The upside is i have before me the 2002 catalog, which has this watch, and it says "offered in stainless steel and all colors of gold" which for muller means yellow, rose, red, and white.

flavor flav Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 i'm interested too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archibald Posted July 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 OK, my brothers--It's nut cuttin' time. All the details have been hashed out, more than enough buyers say they're ready to go, and my PM box is cleared. The base model (2824 Yellow Gold) is $1249 including EMS. A few final details: 1) Because he is one of the best in the biz, our delaer has managed to score a limited number of rose gold pieces. These are from a different source on his end, so the price for 18k RG is an additional $135. 2)Decorated swiss 2892's are available on a custom-installed basis. In addition to another $300, these pieces will require 10-14 days for movement sourcing and installation. 3)For US and UK buyers, customs issues are the dealer's problem. I am working on a way to extend that offer to EU buyers. If that's you, please tell me where you live when you PM and I will advise. Theiving mailmen in our countries are our problem. 4)The "base" models in both colors of gold will ship 2-3 days after all 10 buyers have paid. Ok, there it is...but can I ask you guys a favor? I have to save a bunch of PMs for another ongoing project and thus I can't clear my box completely. I believe every possible question about the watch and the deal has been asked and answered in this thread. Please PM only if you have firmly decided to buy a watch and are ready to pay. Otherwise please ask any questions you have in this thread. I will check it often. I don't know about you guys, but I am totally pumped...

thomasng Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Damn it, the offer comes when I'm in Hong Kong, and I can't use my Paypal account because the last time I used it, it really [censored]ed my credit card up. Any way to pay by wire, etc.? Also, are customs issues for Canada covered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4fun Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 How about color of dial ? I am also totally pumped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archibald Posted July 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 How about color of dial ? I am also totally pumped Admin, as one of the originators of this idea and a fellow FM afficionado, there's no way you're going to miss out-- shoot me a PM when you have a minute and you and I will work something out on payment and customs. 4fun: I have you down for white dial. I think I read that black is also available--I'll look back through my PM's. If you want a black dial version please contact me. Also, I might be able to source some OEM dials in different colors They are expensive, and randomly available, but worth it. ( They have a wine dial/rose gold Casablanca down @ the local Neiman Marcus-- unbelievably stunning. And $9800...w/ discount) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fletch512 Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Also, I might be able to source some OEM dials in different colors They are expensive, and randomly available, but worth it. If you can source OEM dials for the FM Conquistador, I'd be interested. PM if it's a possibility. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I assume the rep case can take gen dial without modification. If so, this probably is another group buy material Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Manny Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Did we ever determine if the buckles were 18kt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, this probably is another group buy material I assuming so on a rep w/ this level of accuracy. But I won't know until I have a watch and dial in hand. I'd be happy to be the guinea pig--and let you guys know if it fits. BTW: 2 more buyers and we're good to go!! @CM: You know, that's one thing I forgot to ask, but I'll do it ASAP and then repy to your PM and post here.

archibald Posted July 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 OK guys...last call...more than 10 PM commitments and at least two other payments sent aside from me...Plenty of watches are available but i think we buyers will want our watches to ship as soon as 10 payments are made so the group price is limited in time. Please contact me ASAP if you want in. BTW Buckles are 18K and straps are genuine croc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
