I am very pleased you are going with the quartz Ralf -- it means I can probably stretch to buying one along with the Megalodon (without the wife putting my b@lls in a sling!) :shock:

"Worldiver" seems to be runaway leader but I think this a name I would expect to see on a Casio!

Benarus have no masters and clearly follow their own path so it's

+1 for Ronin for me

Graham.

If one name does not get 55%-60% of the vote, then that means a lot of votes are going to other selections, like fish names, that have not found a majority following.

Perhaps we could have another poll with only the top three options (Worldiver, Ronin and Mariner) and let people vote again.

Again, I'll be happy whatever the name!

like Sooner76 said, Mariner is taken by another watch company. I like the name WORLDIVER, it is clever and original.

Ronin is not so original and doesn't have anything to do with diving or time zones, but I liked it at first.

Most of the suggestions don't really work for me...the only two i would go for are Worldiver & Sea Turtle. Worldiver edges my vote.

No complaint here . . . just allows more time to set aside funds for the 2893.

this was in reference to those who can't seem to grasp the name Worldiver and what a poll decides...:D ... everyone fails to understand this watch is many months away ,so there is plenty of time to save up funds regardless of movement imho hand6.gif

Oscar, I could not agree more. The GMT is many months away. JMO, I do not care what the name will be. It's the style and movement that sold me. For Ralph's sake, I hope he has enough interests in the Quartz as he does the Auto.

I do not mind the name Worldiver, but it wasn't my first choice for a couple reasons which do not need to be repeated. I can see why some like it and I do not really care what it is called as it most likely won't end up on the dial anyway, just the case back, in keeping with Benarus tradition. If I really didn't like it I could just decide not to buy it, not the end of the world.

If the quartz version had a really long life battery (ten years) or a recharging feature, I would consider it. I'll wait and see the specs on the engine before I write off the quartz version, though my first preference is for the automatic movement.
