Roland, I am glad to see that you are getting so much (much deserved) support for your watches here on WUS. They are absolutely gorgeous, and I cannot wait to purchase one in the near future.

Regards,

Thanks for the update. My first thought on seeing those other threads was "hmm, wonder if Olivier is using the same supplier." I

me too!

Rolland, you rock! PM sent to you, I like to preorder #29 as I told you few weeks ago.

Just still not sure about dial color... All of them are in the game for me... But because I prefer Isofrane far the most, maybe just black or blue is the best option.
Is there brown isofrane available soon? As I know Aquadive is planning that for BS100, so I suppose it is...

Btw, what is it spring as delivery date? Does it mean it could be in dec? :) You should tell the exact month to us :)

Had the pleasure today with meeting up with an Olivier fan all the way from North Carolina, Randy! His work took him to within just a few miles of us here in Redondo, so we met up during some of his down time before he had to catch his flight back. I was able to tell him apart from the crowd by his choice of watch, he was sporting bronze moray with that really fun red sunbrushed dial. We talked for a while while he checked out the prototypes live and in the bronze. Randy noted how much he liked how the patina was developing on the Olivier bronzes, something he had trouble with on his moray. We BOTH forgot to bring along any decent cameras, but my camera phone didn't do too poorly, enjoy these two snaps.

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.

Heya Roland,

I know not the same batch but do you have any type of proof from the supplier that it is actual CuSn8? It seems like Helson and Benarus were given an incorrect certificate plus it was the fault of the factory who did not further verify etc.

Not trying to start a problem but was curious since certificates can be incorrect....Regardless I am still waiting for # 15 :)

Hey Amer!

Our supplier has a proof of composition from the metal supply house, as well as their own cert. of composition and authenticity. They test every batch of every metal, as you would assume a metal works company would do right? #15 won't let ya down!

Ordered my Olivier ETA. I can't say enough good things about Roland's customer service and how nice it is to get speedy replies to questions. I'm getting this watch as a wedding thing, hoping I can convince the Wifey to be to strap this on instead of making me wear a ring.......

Can't wait!

I'm on the edge of getting a no date black dial!
I wonder how bronze will look with Natos and Zulus...
Any ideas?
