    Re: Introducing Olivier Watches & the Olivier Bronze Diver!

    Ok, I'm about ready to pre-order a ETA. I'm normally a Rolex diver guy plus a fan of AP, JLC and IWC so this would be my first boutique diver. Now comes the tricky part: a black no-date one to sport on a black Isofrane or that new brown dial one to go with some leather straps???

    Do you have any dial close up shots? It looks like the hands and dial markers have a different color shade. Hands look white while the dial markers have that familiar very light c3 green hue ?

    The lume is c3 super lumi-nova throughout, and in person the hands are the same green hue as the dial. Here are two pictures, in the second one I can see why you might think they are not the same lume. The first is a shot I took with my cell phone, so please excuse the funny white balance which makes the c3 not quite as green as it really is. You can see in this picture how the lume is completely the same throughout.

    You're using a blue second-hand needle. Its looks great on the black and brown dial backgrounds, but a little funny on the blue dial background. I personally like the blue dial but not with the blue needle. Will you consider using a different color for the second-hand needle on the blue dialed watches?

    IMO a "White" or "Yellow" second-hand with c3 super lumi-nova tip would look great on the blue background.

    Also, will the bezel color (bezel 2 currently with "Black" engraved inlay) also be changed to match the dial color on brown and blue dialed watches?

    Hi,

    Great watch! I am a fence sitter at the moment - I like to wear my watches with a ZULU strap so would ahve definitely preferred a screw bar. Can this watch take a ZULU? And I would also like to see more details on the lug.

    Cheers, S.

    +1. Any chance Strongergodzilla can post a pic of the Olivier on a brown, olive or dessert tan Nato strap?

    I don't even have the watch yet and I'm already shopping around for strap options.

    I am currently waiting for some 24mm zulu straps to arrive for this very purpose, you guys are reading my mind! Hopefully pictures of the lugs will get you on the other side of that fence Treebeard!

    Congrats on your company and your first watch. It is a winner - I just preordered one. The design look clean and simple and the price is reasonable. I will wear mine with the bronze bezel.

    I too echo the need for leather strap. That will be my first after-market purchase if you don't provide one as an accessory to be purchased.

    Hey Cliff! Thanks for the support with your pre-order, and for the kind words!

    I will most definitely and without a doubt have a lot of different strap options available as accessories when the watch is closer to shipping, not to mention a lot of different buckle options too. Dont worry, there will be something for everyone! Leather, sail cloth, etc.
