LM-7 (PloProf) design thread 1

[Broker]

I think the chances are excellent that we will do this, but let's see what the costs look like before committing to the project. I would like to keep the retail price well under $1k.

Mitch

I was hoping that this would be a sub 1k watch. I guess time will tell with costs though. Not knowing the brand, what is the typical production time from decision to go with a model to actual shipping of watches on average?

Mitch,
will you take preorders? If yes, you can count me in.

Me too Mitch. I'll pre-order, send a deposit (non-refundable if required) or pay the entire price up front yesterday, tomorrow, next month..... just say the word.

[richierich]

I'll give a deposit yesterday, and for two pieces!

[MitchSF]

We can have a sample at the end of September, and full production in December. Of course that could mean January or February.

Mitch, I truly believe that, at this price point, the LM-7 will be hotter than the LM-1. I can't imagine that they would not be sold out in record time. Certainly within 6 weeks of first offering.

O.K. Mitch. This may not be the most scientific method of determining interest, but a poll asking how many folks would consider putting half down on the preliminary numbers may be a good barometer. If the poll results look favorable, you can open a window of opportunity for pre-orders which can help with funding and again show how much true interest there is ( as in putting your money where your mouth is). Just a thought, because I'm in on this one, just as I was and am in on the LM-6. I'm willing to ante up right now. Whaddya' think?

AMEN Brad !! I think a fair number of us have echoed those exact sentiments. I bought my LM-1 from an original owner & my LM-2, LM-3 from Mitch and I will sell my nephews into bonded servitude if necessary to get an LM-7.

[Guido Muldoon]

You all know I'm kidding about the bonded servitude thing, right?
