UPDATE:
New Dial Options: You can choose to have either the "HOROLOTECH" logo on the dial or you can elect to have the dial say "BITCOIN CHRONOGRAPH". Either way, "BTC" will still be engraved on the rotor which is viewable through the exhibition back.

No, it's not too late. Just PM me your preference.

just a suggestion; because those linear grooves in the rotor are parallel you might consider engraving the "BTC" without the arc to make it align more properly. the arc collides with that pattern it seems. at any rate please make that engraving precise and cosmetically appealing since in essence "this" is what you're selling.
Yes, wait until you see it in real life. The the way the light reflects off of the decorative pattern makes it difficult to capture the beauty in a photograph (and it makes it look distorted). You can get a better idea by looking at the picture of the gold version. We will get more photos posted as they come off of the production line. The photo above is of the prototype. Thanks!

Any proof that that's a real 7750? Some detailed shots of the movement would be nice
If it is a real 7750 that does set a pretty high 'floor value' if it is new as well.
Yes, 100% genuine Swiss Made ETA/Valjoux 7750 chronograph movement and watch. Here is some info on the movement:

And an awesome video of the assembly of a 7750 movement:

A quick note: Each watch comes with a signed Letter of Authenticity which will show the number in the collection. Of course 1/500 is already taken.

I am a part-owner in Horolotech and I was instrumental in putting together this project. Horolotech uses a private-label watch manufacturer to produce these watches. Ironically, this manufacturer shares the same initials “BTC” and we didn't have to change the rotor at all. We simply used one of their in-house rotors. After making a few modifications and customizations, we rebranded this model as a “bitcoin” version for the bitcoin community. This model is strictly limited to 500 pieces and it is one of the most beautiful watches I have ever seen. It is made for the bitcoin community and it can only be purchased with bitcoin. As a long-time collector of luxury watches I can assure you that the Horolotech Bitcoin Chronograph will be a watch that you can treasure, share and be proud of.

is it my eyes or is the "BTC" a bit crooked?
It has a slight arc to it by design. Better pictures will be forthcoming.

BTC = BEGUELIN & Co S.A. DAMAS Tramelan

Incorrect. The movement is manufactured by ETA a company owned by The Swatch Group. These are the same movements used in many of the major luxury brands. Very few watch companies make their own movements.
Apparently they did use "BTC" - but the Beguelin company has probably been out of business for many decades now!
My apologies for implying you were joking.
Perhaps in many years time the 'BTC' will confuse some watch collectors too.

With your purchase you get a 10-day inspection period. You can have it checked out and you can send it back in unworn condition if you don't like it for any reason.
