Introducing Olivier Watches & the Olivier Bronze Diver!

[Deepdive]

order nr is not the serial number and there will be just 500 pieces of that model as I know.

It is good habit to use just one counting series for one model - f.e. Zixen trimix - 0 to 3000, regardless the movement (and you have choice of two movements). Another zixen DSR1000 has again - 0 to 3000... etc...
or
use one counting series for ALL models - f.e. Armida - if you buy specific serial, you cant have that serial with next model of Armida. So newer models have higher serials.

I know, all about that serial numbers is just pathetic thing, but some unwriten rules should be followed :)

Give me one example of any brand which do it this way like Olivier!


But as I said, amazing watch and will worth much more than they cost, underlined and... period!

Since the case back identifies the movement, it still distinguishes them as unique. Two different choices. I do not find this will detract from the appeal and value. This is going to be a lot of watch for the money I think.

My order # was in the mid 900's so I thought there was going to be a thousand of them! Now I know there will be even more uniqueness.

200. Only 200...;)

May shipping date is definitelly better! Woow... I cant wait!

Regarding serials... IMHO I cant believe you are going to do that way... because it is the same model, just the movement is only one difference. Remember Halios Bluering - two kinds of movt, but just one counting 1-300. And many others....
In that case you are producing separate serials for each movement version, it is loosing individualistics and uniquees! I thought I cant meet a guy with the same watch and the same serial... who cares there is different movement inside - the watches will look the same and even with the same serials!

Just my 2 cents.

I am little disapointed about that but I am happy with olivier watch anyway! :)

I, and I would assume many others on a watch-centric forum, care what movement is in my watch...

The solution to your "issue" is pretty easy: Buy a Miyota and ETA Olivier and request matching serial numbers.

If you want to reserve a specific serial number, PM Roland!

Finally just placed my order for the ETA (no date). Looking forward to getting my hands on it!

I understand the aesthetics, but I don't know how you guys prefer the no date. I have a dateless unitas, and while I love it, I'm like an anchorless wanderer through the annals of time without a date. I went dateless for a year and a half, but bought a diver w/ date recently, and just yesterday wanted to smash my dateless watch when I looked for the date, only to find it missing. lol I can't go back to dateless.

I actually prefer dateless. I always know what the date is, it's just the nature of my work. And since I rarely wear the same watch twice in one week, a date is just one more thing I have to set.

However, I ordered the date version of the Olivier. Having a datewheel that's covered up seems like an inelegant solution. Even though nobody would know it's there, the knowledge would still bug me. I'm a bit OCD

As busy as my schedule is, I always know what the date it is when I get up, as I have to check my overflowing calendar every morning. :|

As far as a preference goes, I tend to go in either direction, although on some watches (especially those with more "classic" dials), I really think they look "cleaner" with no date.

One thing I really don't like is the new trend towards these larger cutouts that expose multiple dates - it doesn't make any sense - if I know today's date, I know what yesterday was, and I can hopefully figure out tomorrow's date, and they really drive me crazy in months that don't have 31 days.

This fad is something I hope goes away fairly quickly, as it has stopped me from purchasing some otherwise great pieces in the past.

Kudos to Roland for providing an option in this case!

Ah, nice, never thought of that.

Congrats! Same one I preordered (#21 - ETA black no-date).

Exactly my thoughts regarding the triple date window. IMO the dateless dial just looks 'cleaner' in this case.
