Annoucing the registration for the OKEAH "Final Edition" Project >>>

[Paulo]

Either will be OK. If you are registered at HdR then you can reply there. Otherwise you can reply here. (I've volunteered to help organize WUS strap selections for those who are not registered at HdR). Rest assured our strap selections will make it to the Okeah Team.

Thanks Jeff!
Those who prefer to reply here don't worry, we'll copy your requests to HdR. To avoid repetitions, please just enter your request here or in HdR, not on both sides.

BTW, please pay the remainder for the watch (and straps, if that's the case) until April 22nd.
For those who haven't seen it in a previous post, here's the full price update:

All non-European countries (Canada, USA, Asia, Oceania): 48 euros + 295 = 343 euros
All European countries non-EU: 44 euros + 295 = 339 euros
All EU countries: 29 euros + 348 (VAT included) = 377 euros

Dear friends!

Must say that I almost get a hard on when I see the watchJ You did a great job!

There are a couple of questions I would like your sincere comment on though:

1.Why is it OK that one person reserves several watches, when there are a long waiting list? In other words: Why where no restrictions on maximum number of watches one person can order set?

2.To the question of limited number of cases. Personally I own two cases, and I know several others are holding cases too. I know for a fact that Volmax have more cases than 300 in their storage. Is it possible to collect all possible cases and make some more watches? Why not increase the number of watches to the round number 400 and that’s the real final edition. If most watch cases are used now, there will not be possibility for the final edition version 2 – and to prevent a final edition version 2 is really to the benefit of everybody.


Best regards from: Jompen

good questions, from business perspective it doesn't make sense - there is no FINAL EDITION in today's world, unless the end of it is coming soon and they know it ;)

Main problem is lack of the 3133 calibers. When 3133 stock disappears it will be unfortunately impossible to make it once again. Only if maybe someone starts the 3133 production but from this point of view that is highly unlikely.

... Personally I own two cases, and I know several others are holding cases too. I know for a fact that Volmax have more cases than 300 in their storage...

Do you own the exact cases as for the watch in the final edition? What's the source of these cases?

[Jompen]

Yes, from what I can see it is the same case. Or at least 99.999% the same. Origin is Volmax spare part.

Well, both question actually come together as a sole answer. As we've said before, at the time of lauching the project, 300 watches was a mad figure (and also adjusted to the cases and movements Volmax had available).

In July 2011 we opened an enquiry to test the interest and select the specific watch to eventually produce. Bear in mind that Volmax, when asked, hasn't taken the project on their own hands, because they thought it wouldn't sell, reason why we're doing it as a contracted project, at zero risk for Volmax. Besides, we are in a crisis context, so we took all measures to reduce the risk, like no limits for purchases.

It seems people adhered massively to the project, but this ain't over till the fat lady sings , let's wait for the 22nd this month, when everyone should have fully paid the watch, and then we'll have the exact notion of how the project stood.

So not all paid yet ? . Odd ? .
How can anyone not get this who as been lucky enough to get a chance to.
Must say that if it hadn't been for the installments I'd have struggled, but that was 4 or 5 months ago (how time flies) when this project was first posted.
Can't wait for mine :) Thanks guys !!!
