Ouch, $45 a dial! Someone must be making a bit of a profit on this one....

Got a reply from Jake B.

$25 a dial.

Cooliend, I think why $45 is bcoz they got Harold to produce 18 pieces for the first batch. I guess cost is high for so little pieces.

I just PM Jake to see if I can order 3-4 pieces from him. As they were making it sound like it's a LE dial... lol

roo7 · Post by **roo7** » 17 Apr 2011 10:03

Ok guys, I make payment for 4 pieces already, USD25 each, as they are going fast.

So, myself, sellwatch and big-e with 1 spare. Anybody else keen can PM me..

18 pieces? think i read in the thread somewhere the first batch consists of 40 pieces. is usd45 expensive for a dial? luckily i read the news of the leftover dials before i transferred 45 over.

now i need to find the watch then decide if i'm going with a rubber or leather strap. it looks kinda good on a brush brown leather strap as seen in

Oh yah 1st batch 40 pieces, 2nd batch 18 pieces.

Well if it's 25 from Jake, why 45 ? Unless there's a different method of production ?

Now to wait for the dial and find the watch lol.

well, the good thing is not only is it cheaper, it's nicer and readily available. probably can receive in a week or so. does k2 have stocks for the sznh57?
