No.

Certainly the first 50 pieces, I've already got the movements. After that?

Eddie

I thought you knew better John. :wink:

Eddie

Certainly for me, I have a lot of up-front funding to make :(

Eddie

I might see a sample by the middle of February (2008). :roll:

Eddie

A couple of things to note:

Probably because the original is very rare, Rolex only made a few in 1938.

Eddie

It's all in this thread. I bumped it to make it easy to find for someone who phoned distraught that the SB2 was discontinued.

Eddie

ETA only supply what the class as their "premier grades" to Swiss watchmakers. German (and all other countries) cannot even buy the chronometer grade 2824 & 7750 directly from ETA, which is why...

Fricker used to own 70% of SUG so I'm sure that as the casemaking member of this partnership, they will know something. :wink:

Eddie

I can get the 2824 "Quality 1", adjusted in 4 positions and certainly capable of being adjusted to chronometer standard for about half the price of a 2892 and these savings will of course be...

On chronomaster the 44mm is for a Mk XII, the Mk XV says 47mm lug to lug.[/quote]

:oops: Must have been looking at the wrong one.
