Heres a head count based on the red/black LE SOHC rendering(I just scanned the thread):

Roffensian 1
Driver8 1
Admin 1
BroncoSport 1
In2Deep 1
Aleister 1(maybe 2)
Swiftnick 1(maybe + 1 more for his cousin)
Johnnyboomboombuck 1
Andrewpc 1
Rjrjrj 1 (maybe after he tries on the model at the AD)
Tunnel Ling 1
Nnikolaus 1(maybe but not 100% yet)

Of the openly public people, I count 10 without the extras for the multiple watch buyers. 12 if the maybe guys say yes. I realize that there might be people who would rather PM to add their name to the list, thats ok.. let Roff know. We really need to see the interest level is and see where we are on numbers.

I might hop in on this if it goes through. It is a good looking watch. But, I was taking a look at a black SOHC on OR strap.

I'm clearly out of this first round on behalf of the chosen model but theoretically the project may go on later with other models close to my taste so I let myself tell you that not only because of plenty export and re-import taxes but because of possible physical draw-backs I still find an absurd thing to choose one single AD, maybe overseas and let them have the watch from Switzerland and let her travel back to the old continent, regardless to Hungary, Germany, or even Switzerland, but close to the "place of birth" anyway. Excuse me if I might haven't read some existing good solution on this problem.

I don't think anyone is out just yet, unless they want to be.

Red / Black SOHC is clearly popular, but if the people it's popular with don't end up laying the cash down when we are ready to go then their vote doesn't carry much wieght - if 25 people are waving cash in my face for a neon pink Montbrillant then that's what we try for :? :shock:

I have been a little surprised by some of the responses I have received so can everyone do me a favour. Take a look at this - http://www.roffensian.com/BreitlingLE.xls

If you are interested it would be helpful if you could complete it and send it to me. No commitment, but it will help me to get some kind of formal tracking of interest.

I might have made myself misunderstandable: the model seems to be chosen by many makes me out if this will be the final choice.

Last week I was completely inundated - now that it's a little more real and I'm looking for details and $$s there is a lot less activity.

There will no doubt be more people interested when a new thread gets started with the details, timeframes etc. Most people aren't going to read through 12 pages just for fun ;)

Finding 25 shouldn't be too difficult ;)

I agree. I am willing to explore other options for the piece, but let's set some kind of schedule for this.

I tried a SOHC this weekend and it is a great watch. The one I tried was the LE made for the Reno Air Races.

Anyway we could do a mock up of the SOHC with the red and black switched, i.e. black smaller dials with a red background.

When I sent my form to Roffensian I added a second and third possibility (if the SOHC idea would fall, but I hope it stands):

either a Chronomat, roman numerals, black dial with dark red subdials

or

Chronomat, roman numerals, racing green dial with white subdials

If anyone with PS skills would have the time to mock these up, I'd be very grateful. :)
