It's an acquired taste... kinda like sushi... anyway, next time you make it back to Florida, you're welcome to check 'em all out in person... The only ones I haven't taken a shine to are the LM-4 and 5 which are ceramic cases... :cool: KenC wrote: Hmmmmmmm............guess I'm just not into the whole Ocean7 look.

Havent seen the price yet... under $1500 but not sure yet. He only found 50 of the 7750 elabore movements; and if they are nicely decorated he will add a sapphire crystal back to it... This will be a one time, limited edition... |

hand6.gif Very nice, clean design. Gotta love the skeleton plongeur hands - unobstructed view of the subdials. And yes - a display back is welcome. Last edited on Thu May 10th, 2007 08:18 pm by cnmark |

You are killing me Steve! I'll be selling plasma yet, I really love that LM-2C design. I can't sell any Zippos, can I?? face4.gif Cheers, Griff P.S. I like the Bathys, but I'll be damned if I pay what they want for one! :P |

The LM-3 will prob come out first - new delivery date is May 25th (cases, dial etc under inspection prior to assembly right now). The LM-2 is due in early to mid June (screw down crown and inner bezel had to be reworked). O.A. Gaspar wrote: srh_pres wrote: |
