Holy COW Rick, that is OUTSTANDING ! ..You are going to be an Olivier Pioneer sir. By the way, that is VERY nice of Roland to let you try out a watch like that ! Eric, hadn't noticed that Doxa theme at first to tell the truth, but now I'm seeing it thanks to you. ____________________________________ | |

| Some people say it really hasn't happened without pictures, so here is proof of my visit this afternoon with Olivier watch founder/designer Roland Oliver Tetenbaum. Roland was kind enough to spend some time with me discussing watches in general and specifically the Olivier Watch Company and the upcoming Olivier Bronze Diver. I got the chance to try on the prototypes, and hear Roland's thoughts about his design. I now know that watch designing and watch building are in his blood, and that he has the passion and drive to transform his ideas into reality. Be advised that the designs will be produced in limited quantities, so pre-ordering is advised. If these prototypes are any indication, I believe you can expect good things from Roland and the Olivier Watch Company, now, and in the future. Here is a comparison of a pair Roland's Olivier Bronze Divers with my Halios Laguna. | |

Man oh man, this is just fantastic Rick ! What a nice comparison here. You can really see the design, along with quality of the Oliviers. The look of the cases, but also the bezels is very rugged. While at the same time nice, and classy. AWESOME dials, and straps TOO ! Must have been something special having the chance to actually talk with, and meet up with a watch company owner like that. It's neat hearing how someone like Roland comes up with ideas, and then actually makes them a reality sir. Thanks so much for the pics, and everything ! ____________________________________ | |

| Thanks Tom,
You will be hearing more from Roland and the Olivier brand. He is a man on a mission, and as he is only 25 years old he has the energy ( and time ) to accomplish it.

Thank YOU Rick ! All of this is OUTSTANDING to hear about. Can't wait to see what Roland has up his sleeve over the coming year, and years with Olivier. ____________________________________ | |
