Louisiana. I'm head of the undergraduate economics department. I also teach finance and marketing.

I placed a firm order yesterday. We will make 200 finished cases, 400 bezels (plus some extra spares), and unfortunately, about 150-200 more case blanks.

With only 200 LM-7's in the initial run it will be interesting to see how quickly the remaining open spots are left unclaimed.

My movement preference is the SW200. I know some will disagree, but I have found it to be adjusted better from the factory, and so far it has a failure rate here of 0%. We'll see what comes up.

I've had half a dozen divers I'd thought were equipped w/ ETA motors (Oris) only to realize later they were Stellitas.

Hardly a "statistically significant sample", but I never suffered a hitch or hiccup w/ mine. Excellent timekeepers, and on the couple w/ exhibition casebacks, nice looking movements.

No complaints here!

Add one more for me, #80 if poss please Mitch.

Cheers,
David.

Have you voted in the poll yet to have your name registered? That would be the first step.

I suggest picking up the August issue of IW Magazine and reading their article on Stellita and what will be happening with the movement market in a couple of years. They also list a number of premium brands that use their movements (Oris is one of them).

LSU? I went to Tulane :) As for what Mitch said about these not being of interest to the non-WIS public; I agree to a certain extent. Most of the regular public wouldn't quite know what to do with this massive divers watch. However, there are probably a lot of watch guys who would KILL for one of these if they only went to this forum and knew about it. An appearance in a watch magazine would put desire for this piece through the roof. The quality/price point is the best in ALL of watches (beating out Stowa, Omega, Sinn, etc...). It may even be sacrilege to say it, but the cases are even better made than Panerai (Panerai does a lot of the non-gold cases in China which is a big secret). I would think that conservatively the value of the Ploprof is double or triple what we are being charged for it.

Tulane is a wonderful school. Steeped in academia. The value of the Omega is about 8X actually at current market prices. I consider this the deal of the year. I was willing to go $1500 but don't tell Mitch.
