    It was talked about and the last I read it was going to be SIGNIFICANTLY different from the Dreadnought we all know and love.

    Will it really? No one knows.

    It will look like a Klaus Kobec. $1500 on your wrist, $250,000 in your pocket.

    It's now unlikely that it will look like this.

    Eddie,

    Just one word GOOD

    Oh sod it why stop at one word,problem is as i see it once a IMHO a design classic has been created anything that follows is a pale imitation.
    So why not create a totally different watch and call it "Nautilus" for example and incoperate the GMT/UTC/24hr whatever the hell you want .?

    Just my opinion

    Because it looks too much like the Dreadnought Mike and also, I don't think the ETA2895 (sub seconds) is available in GMT version.

    The DN GMT will be 300 metres, not 500. This should allow a larger dial and thinner case.

    DN-GMT

    Hi,
    the picture from the new DN is much better i hope for !!!
    My new favorite is now the GMT.
    From now on,i put some money beside for selling this brute.
    But the question is:-can i buy one of these ?
    -limited edition ?
    -when will she def. come ?

    Eddie,300m waterproof is enough,if you create a greater dial.
    Because most of us need max. 3 m under water !

    I love great watches with great(greater) dial.

    I think you are moving in the right direction there ... the way to uphold the Dreadnought legacy is not to clone the ancestor, but to create for GMT-watches what the original DN is for dive watches. :)
