Hondo,

Welcome to the site, all your queries are answered by reading through the forum.........i know i know too much.

Korsbek are a new company producing their debut model, the Ocean Explorer, a down to earth solid dive watch built for diving.
The watch is to be a limited edition and most by now are reserved, get in there or you will regret it!

I would type more but am too lazy, get reading!!

(and yes, i reserved mine)

Hi Hondo.
The Korsbek Ocean Explorer is currently in production by the famous Fricker co. in Germany.
It's a limited edition of 100 watches with roughly 2/3rds. reserved now.
Expected delivery begins in april/may.
The company is created by Poul Brix Poulsen, a native of Denmark, the "Korsbek" is in honor of his mother's maiden name.
Korsbek "rates" a forum here because he came to WUS very early in the watch's development and sought input from members in the watch design and subsequently approached Ernie to sponsor an Official Forum in order to keep in touch and market the watch.
I'd suggest referencing the threads pointed out in post #6 of this thread: http://forums.watchuseek.com/showthread.php?t=83010
In my opinion and that of many others it's a screaming good deal on a fricker built 1000m dive watch.
Hope all that helps, you've a really nice collection in your sig and I think you'd be pleased with an OE!
