Just got off the phone with Eyal and he answered all of the questions that have been asked of me this weekend.......... Joined: Sept 2004 Gender: Male Posts: 113 Location: NOVA
Russian Diver: Yes, I listed the movement correctly, it is a Unitas 6498 with a power reserve of 55 hours (he noted actual tests at 57 hours FYI). The screws ARE heat treated blue, he acknowledged they used the same process as every high end luxury brand does to blue the screws. As in my example earlier, you can see the difference between the 2048 Objet d'art and the Russian Diver as far as the blued screws are concerned. He pointed out that the 2048 was enamel painted screws (Invicta never claimed otherwise) and the Russian Diver has them heat treated. The engraving is done by hand.... but I have to be careful how that is phrased: Each movement is engraved by a person operating a handheld machine which does the engraving, they are not hand chiseled (not at this price point), and they follow a pattern so all the movements look alike. The engraving is not pressed, but machined. The general selling price (this is in no way a final price, but he wanted you to have a GENERAL idea) is roughly $600. He is aware that we all know how to manipulate the $50 coupons, so look for it to be around $550-$600. When I send the Russian back, it goes directly to SNBC, so he expects you can see it previewed on air with Shawn in the next 2 weeks or so during other shows. OGII Chrono: The GENERAL price to expect will be about $350 or so. So again, with our "lovely and talented" coupon hunters (Pam, Andrea) we should be able to hopefully nail a Swiss OGII for roughly$300. Again, I want to stress that none of these prices are 100% confirmed!! COSC Dragon Lupah: Eyal overnighted my sample today, it will be here tomorrow. It will have a sapphire crystal, and the movement is a Valjoux 7750.
