Thanks Jeff. We had heard about the Razor Blade but weren't sure what to expect.

So Ob, Roger, FP, what's Whisker? Something similar to the Fat Cat? Perhaps what Shaun White was wearing in one of the pics I saw of him playing poker.

Saw a picture of the Whisker today. Kinda looks like a bigger A-Wire with a Romeo 2 earstem? Also confirmed the release of the Saddleback, Jury- leather or metal band...not sure yet. Also heard The King is priced around $3500-7500...I am not really sure.
and oh yeah, I saw that the Razorblade is going to have a pink and grey combo.

$3,500-$7500 (though it'll probably go for $1,500-3,800 in the aftermarket) for an Oakley watch? I wonder what their goal exactly is with this watch? If The King is a regular edition that they hope to use to enter the upper-mid luxury segment of watches, they better have something that defines them as a serious watch maker such as an in-house produced automatic movement or the Geneva Seal or something. The segment is already saturated with serious watch houses like Rolex, IWC, VC, UN, Omega, JLC, GP, Panerai, etc. etc. that Oakley's gonna fall flat on their face if they don't have anything that separates them form the prestigious brands.

Of course, if The King is a limited edition like the Gold Timebomb and it doesn't matter how long it takes to sell out (if it ever does), then it wouldn't matter.

Does anyone out there actually own the Gold Time Bomb?

Ryan....He posted some info about this guy that called Dr. J. Wiggley who comes into his store wearing a Gold Time Bomb....There must be a few out there with 20+ grand to spend on a watch!

yeah, but finding someone with 20+ grand to blow AND who appreciates oakley is going to be rare

Thanks for the Whisker response. I could use a new wire frame. Can't wait.

If you've got the 20 grand to blow on a watch, you probably don't need any sort of brand loyalty. You can probably buy whatever you want on impulse.

I for one have been waiting for a higher end watch. Can't wait.
