My buddy anxiously awaits your brown leather strap availability for his panerai.

All the straps should be available as of next week for anyone wanting them, I'll make sure to let you know so you can tell your buddy.

That is a bloody gorgeous watch. (And I'm not that much of a dive watch guy.) Congratulations and best of luck. I'm definitely thinking about this one.

I ordered the blue ETA and plan on the blue sailcloth. I ordered earlier in the day before reading the thread and now really can't wait.

Impressive involvement on the forum by Roland!

Hey Everyone! Im going to be posting this around on the various Olivier Threads out there, so if you start to experience deja vu, dont worry!

Yesterday there was a recall announced for Helson bronze cases and Benarus is currently planning to announce the same for some of their bronze morays. The bronze alloy they had received from the manufacturer was NOT the CuSn8 they had been told and they are doing great things to take care of their customers, hats off to them and their great CS. I just want to assure everyone here that we are NOT in the same situation, our cases are CuSn8, german made and looks exactly how you would expect CuSn8 to look, and age. I have now sourced CuSn8 from both Germany and from here locally in Redondo Beach where I have my buckles made, and they both look the same; they start as a bright gold tone that darkens and patinas into a very nice darker brown. This is exactly how the bronze PAM 382 also appears [some of these photos belong to great WIS PifPaf!], and well as Paiste cymbals, both known to be made from CuSn8 bronze, attached here are some pictures of new and old CuSn8.

Thanks for the update. My first thought on seeing those other threads was "hmm, wonder if Olivier is using the same supplier." I figured I'd wait for an update from you before bringing it up on this thread, though.

Sucks for those manufacturers who were taken advantage of. Good to see them setting it right. I recently bought a Helson (not bronze) and really like it. I like what Benarus has to offer as well, just none of their models are right for me at the moment.

Looking forward to spring, and the release of the BD.
