 The original silver bezel versions appear to make the dial leap from the watch - the black bezel versions you have created make the dial seem to be inward-focusing. Both are cool looks with the squared off hands, though. To each his own. But nothing I have seen beats the 3T LE version - that was a blinder...

Now as for bezel suggestions (nobody asked, but what the heck... :D)- I would love to see some bezel variations from Berg that do not use chrome numerals or markers. Maybe a smaller font for the bezel numbers, a triangular lume at 12, numerals at 15, 30 and 45, no count-down from 0 to 15 minutes, all done in lume under an acrylic-covered bezel (like the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms and the even more beautiful MKII Stingray) with stick markers at the 5-minute intervals all the4 way around. Any chance u could do the deed and post it here for comment as a possible future one for Orsa? Berg has made no mention of any desire to deviate from his designs - and what with parts sourcing and the long lead time for any new design - it will only be a suggestion at this time. But maybe worth a thought... and another way of differentiating the quartz version from its more expensive automatic brother?

Sorry for the rant, all.

Cheers and good work 2ster!
