Hi All,
I discovered this forum a couple of months ago and have visited it every day since, enjoying it very much!!! I just registered as an "official" member so I can participate in the "posts".
Prior to purchasing this watch I did a bunch of research, including all of the posts on the "Forum". In addition to what has been posted here, I learned the following:
All Mega 1000's are fully MultiFrequency and will work in the USA (VERY IMPORTANT TO ME AS I LIVE IN THE US), Japan and Europe (WWVB, JJY40, JJY60, DCF77.5). Junghans will replace the movement of any Mega 1000 that does not work as a MultiFrequency watch. The reason the manual did not mention transmitters outside Germany is that it was printed before the decision was made to make it a MultFrequency watch. Due to heavy demand Junghans cannot supply more until September. Models produced after September will be the same price and have the same model numbers as before. I think this should help clear the air a little bit.
FYI - From my web surfing for this model watch, it is currently not available in in the US at this time; I even called the official US Junghans distributor. I did a world wide search and found a seller in in UK who will ship world-wide. I did order the watch from them for OCTOBER DELIVERY and found them to be very nice, friendly and helpful.

Regards to all!!!
