Introducing Olivier Watches & the Olivier Bronze Diver!

[rsanz]

rsanz, you show a power few of us watch lovers have!

Hah! Thanks, Roland. The fact is, I'm still young (26) and am just starting in this hobby. I don't want to get in too deep too fast. I've already made one purchase that I regretted (around the same price range as your watch) and I am too afraid of getting screwed to try to flip it on the classified forum. I've been eying another diver for a few months now, and I just want to be sure that I'm not acting quickly on this one on a whim just because it's a limited run and then miss out on the other one.

That said, it's a hell of a slick design and very, very tempting. You deserve kudos for your design eye and for your hard work bringing your infant company this far.

And really, you just seem like a genuinely cool guy. I'm never on the west coast, but if you're ever in the Washington, D.C. area and want to grab a coffee and talk watches, drop me a line!

haha, im right there with you rsanz. i'm 26 and in the army, joined late making pfc pay, i couldn't afford this watch if i didn't take care of my bills. its nice to have some play money! i've seen a lot of watches on here beggin' to be on my wrist, whats really funny is before the army i hated wearing anything on my wrists, but since my first g-shock i figured if i was going to wear a watch it might as well be something i actually like wearing. i've already been looking to armida as my next purchase, but that will be much later this year unless i put my upcoming rifle purchase on the back burner, not happening! i say for the design and the money compared to what some other known brands are offering, you can't beat Roland. i can't wait til june!!!!!

Holy crap. This is out of my price range and a little small for me, but just wanted to say these might be the coolest looking watches I've seen in my short obsession. More importantly, congrats on turning a passion into a "job"! The ultimate goal, for sure.

Thanks Chief!! Kind words much appreciated!

There is no need to imprint "CuSN7.8P0.16Ni0.3Fe0.2" All it has to say is "Phosphor Bronze". Yet again, its all suggestions to try to state factual information.

btw, aquadive bs100 bronze, build with the same alloy as Olivier, has "BRONZE ALLOY" printing on the caseback. Just fyi.

I realized I most like printing "Marine Grade Bronze" instead of "Phosphor Bronze". But actually it does not matter :) I just suggest to save the space on the caseback and dont print "sapphire crystal".

What's wrong with the following? (You'll note it isn't an Aquadive it's an Olivier) >

... I started to design my own interpretation of the ultimate bronze dive watch, and when it was ready to be unveiled, Olivier officially became my full time gig. How happy I am to present it to you now is really just beyond words:

...along with all of the critical specs of the watch as well as the unique serial number:

There's no need to fiddle with caseback, it's correct as is it's still being made with CuSn8, and does state Bronze s well really quite clearly if you can't work out what that means. This has clearly been a labour of love and I suspect a great deal of thought has gone into every facet of the watch which looks IMHO fantastic.

I know the aquadive printing is correct... but for some reason it just makes me chuckle. Is there a bronze that isn't an alloy?

Maybe I have a weird sense of metallurgical humor.

I don't plan on taking it off very often, so I really could care less what it says on the back. :p
