    Damn you Eddie. Thats 3 for 3 for me. Can't decide which I want most so guess it'll come down to which (if any) I'm lucky enough to snag before they all disappear.

    The pics that Eddie posts are nice but why do some of you feel the need to quote them numerous times?

    It's magnificent, another wonderful achievement.

    I can't think why but as soon as i saw the dial front on i was reminded of Seiko's recent perpetual calendar effort.

    Put that movement in this and you've got the best looking quartz dive watch in history.

    Jesus Christ Eddie , you have really surpassed yourself with this current run of imminent releases . Taking TF to a whole new level . I think I prefer the look of this one to both the DNGMT and the 30.
    Good luck everybody. Have a good one.

    Good news . You say 'miyota' and I hear 'affordable'. I must say though , and I don't want to appear to be ungrateful , but I agree with Julian - a quartz version would be 'awesome' as they say on WUS.
    Good luck everybody. Have a good one.

    Incredible. The detail is outstanding.
    This knocked a few off the want list and the Smith's Diver is now at the top.
    I hope to be transferring funds soon to you Eddie!

    Don't count on it, I was shocked at the cost of this one but I wanted to do it so much I couldn't back down. The ball bearing bezel was expensive and also the dial plus the Miyota movements increase in price each time I order them.

    If I appeared ungrateful I can only apologise.

    It's just that to my mind the perpetual calendar is the best crown protection system ever devised and that's a beautiful crown.

    I'm sure i'll be living well with the Automatic.

    yes i noticed the bevels in the first front pic. i would like to know the impression martin has of the markers: aftermarket or seiko quality?

    i like the dial and i find the second hand colour to be much better than the preliminary pink

    i dont mind the price as it will be reasonable. instead you will have a good bezel mechanism, and timefactors perceived quality will move from 95% (as in "good but") to 100% ("good, period")

    great looking watch. i think i have found my next smiths and most of all really like the backdrop for the pics (a subtle nod to the source) nicely done that man

    ...As I was saying...I am now close to approaching a state of contentment with my existing modest collection....

    ...Oh Hang On...Whats This from Eddie....(pulse quickens)......you all know the script.

    My senses are screaming that this is going to be an outstanding success.

    Did Eddie state anywhere as to how many will be available on the first production run?

    There is never info on delivery or price until Eddie's had a long holiday to gather his breath, and then he checks to make sure you'll not be around to snap one up!
