With the limited numbers, impressive spec shet, great design and value price, I'll warrant this is destined to be another Dreadnought, it's bound to be traded comfortably over the RRP

That really is excellent value
Wow, that is a little more than I was expecting, job done and photos taken.
Bravo Eddie, they look epic.
Will they be going into the next opening window?

Dear Eddie
How are those straps coming along?

The hands look especially lovely, but I have to admit I am slightly less convinced by the blue dial print (on the cream dial), it looks a little lighter than I thought it might be, and lighter than...
With the limited movement numbers and the straps in manufacture, I take it that this one is skipping the prototype stage?
I do hope that an XL strap doesn't mean that normal-wristed persons have to...
This is the current version David
I don't think that is quite true.
All personnel on nuclear boats wore telltale detectors (they are a type of film that darkens on exposure), to see whether there has been a breach of containment....
It's all about rarity, the no-rad Lemania for submarines (like you link to) is the rarest of the lot, that's why it is priced so high.
The later asymmetric 2-pusher is also rare.
A run-of-the-mill...
I think v4 looks superb, but I just want to make one more point, as it has developed from the "no rad" hand design to the syringe design.
The chrono-second counterpoise for the syringe design hands...
Please Eddie, white hands on the black dial version, not polished, so much more legible (and like the original).

Ps Hanhart has nothing to do with it
58 hrs is a very respectable reserve.
This may be a little naive, but if it is a hand-winding version of an auto, will the crown wind for ever, or will it reach an end-stop?
I have had one hand...
Yes, I know. But solid bars are very unlikely indeed, as it completely limits the strap choice, and placing them is not a simple process. The next most secure option is shoulderless bars, which need...
Oh yes, that looks good.
Can I put in a bid for drilled lugs, so that shoulderless springbars can be used? Please?
Dave
No, you are right, my apologies. The asymmetric cases were later, my mistake. No Rad single pushers came in both flavours, round case and asymmetric,this clearly uses the latter as the inspiration....
40s. The HS9 was first issued in the late 40s
Looks lovely.
I am interested that the black dial version seems to use the no-radiation hand design, with no lume (Old Radium lume is on the dial only, hands are identified as white, and the night...
