I just got off the phone with the Chief Area Officer of HMT. He said and I quote, "Please rest assured, this is the a special model for you only. I have received one enquiry day before yesterday to make this watch but I have not confirmed that we can make it."
A little birdie at the factory told me that they had made a few "blocks" to do the dials, and all of them broke while doing our dials. They have only 510 such dials. Remaking the blocks is an expensive process and and 50 pieces won't get it done.
OT: wish HMT made Automatics with slight bigger dials.
Add me too for one.. Thanks
