palpatine Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 (edited) SECOND RUN: we are currently collecting orders for the second run of 2,1mm crowns which will be available for for eta automatic and handwind 6497 in these variations: -s/s -PVD -titanium look (sandblasted) We decided to make only 2.1mm (cost reduction) since the demand for these was higher. also like the first run, it will be a limited quantity due to financial reasons. We collect preorders now until end of next week, then the production will begin. Also we will have to take prepayments to have a little safety in our planning! So, interested members please PM me for details and to reserve one! the price will be 49 EUR+shipping registered letter (discount available if you take more than 4). PVD version is calculated at the moment, might be around 5-10 EUR additional for the PVD coating! that depends on how many i can send to get PVD coated if someone wants to have it installed on his watch, i can offer that service. please PM me for details. INFO FOR THE UPGRADERS: As promised Pamela will offer a discounted price for all the members who bought crowns from the first run. First he announced 15 EUR, we are currently calculating if this is still possible because we have to make sure the expenses get covered, I am sure everybody understands that. The first run was more expensive than we initially calculated But IF we have to raise the upgrade price a bit, it still will be much less than the full price (we are speaking of a price in the range of 15-22 EUR, depending on the number we will make). Like it has been said before, this project is not about earning money, therefore its just too much work and time and we earn not much , the goal of all these work was to finally get some damn nice crowns I am happy when we come out in the + at the end To improve the handling of the upgrades, we decided that all the members who want to upgrade should contact me! I will handle this, confirm with Pamela and send out the crowns when these are available. All out of one hand should be better and reduce any possible confusion. But please give me some time to handle all the emails and PMs! Edited June 22, 2007 by palpatine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssurfer Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 My most heartfelt congratulations on the new titanium-look crowns too! I too made a try several months ago about titanium-look on Lello's crowns, so I can figure how difficult it must have been to find a solution. Your solution looks gorgeous! Great work!

Canuck88 Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 I'm surprised that there was more demand for 2.1 over 2.0 since the gen is 1.9... I would have thought 2.0 would be most popular. Oh well, I'm still in for one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, I'm still in for one! Its ok if the rep stuff is a little bigger than real life, it will still look normal! its only a problem if its smaller than real life then it looks smaller! (there is a size joke there somewhere but I'm not going to look for it ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indyclmbr Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 I saw someone wanted one for the 192. Will these work with the 192? I thought that was the Venus Lemania copy movement. If it does, I'm going to have to get another for my new watch! Climb on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
