Thanks Griff and Skip... it reminds me somewhat of the Enzo case and bracelet; which is very comfortable on the wrist despite weighing 276gm. Will be interesting to rack them up side-by-side... ;) |

Thanks Mark! Can't wait to get it on - should feel about the same as the Enzo, but with a decidely different look. The blue dial has a slightly different hue depending on the angle you look at it - and should look spectacular in the sunlight... :cool: Paxman wrote: Looking forward to seeing this on your wrist and hearing how you like it!

Well the long wait is over... got it today and am very impressed with its clean, simplicity and unusual dial color which changes in the light depending on the angle you look at it. Sorry for the poor pic but my cam is awol and had to settle for this other pos til I can get mine back.... good pics to come soon... |

Thanks Mark! Its a good thing pics dont do it justice - cause that pic of mine sucked. :shock: But will get some decent ones that really show off the dial and hands. The case and bracelet have a very familiar and comfortable feel to them (will be doing some side by side comparisons with my Enzo). But still unique enough as a total package. I may go ahead and try it on a brown leather strap and see what she looks like. :cool: Paxman wrote: Looks great, Steve. I really like the dial color on these and the clean layout. Sweet!! |

That is one solid looking watch, congrats Steve! If I wasn't so tapped out from my most recent purchases and Disney... My O7 G-1 is on its way back from Duarte, I had him swap the plain black bezel for the black/orange, I can't wait to get it! Cheers, Griff |

Very nice. Looking forward to mine: bought it in April and it'll finally get here this week (I hope). I did get to see one a couple of weeks ago in FL. It's very nice, but the skeleton hands don't do much for me. This is a chunky, solid watch and could use solid hands to go with. The skeleton hands are smaller than the LM-1 hands too. Although I like the DN, I'm not a fan of the big watch/small dial school and the LM-3 leans in this direction. The bracelet is superb, but I'm looking forward to trying it on some thick leather. We'll see how it goes when I finally strap mine on. |

I've put a medium brown leather strap on mine and it looks good. The dial is a bit smaller than on my LM-1, but have gotten used to it on my Enzo - and since the dial is clean and not cluttered; the whole look works pretty good. Hope you enjoy yours Colin... hand6.gif Nalu wrote: Very nice. Looking forward to mine: bought it in April and it'll finally get here this week (I hope). |

Well, mine is -5secs for the first day on the wrist, we'll see where it settles. I've left it on the bracelet as I like it very much. With a big, chunky watch I feel I need a solid bracelet to counter-balance the head. My only aesthetic issue is with semi-skeleton hands on such a solid watch: they look a bit out of place. I'd love to see this watch with a set of Yao plongeurs and may make that move. Since I'm not a fan of tipped seconds, that makes triple sense for me. The dial on mine was done in C-3, so it lacks the stark white-on-blue of the production models (C-1) that looks so good. The blue anodised dial is very nice, looking dark blue from straight on in room light and much lighter outside or in reflection. The case is not the most beautiful or unique, but it is very well done. Mitch set a goal of producing a case suitable for a multi-$K watch and he's succeeded. Pics to follow once I can get it off the wrist! |

Mine is running about -19sec/day so far. I have an Enzo strap coming, very thick that should handle that chunky head pretty well. Actually I was surprised how well the silicone strap held it in place on my wrist. Was a little surprised at the slightly less then LM-1 lume - but I like the white C1 against the blue dial. It works for me, but would love to see how the C3 looks, so get those pics posted soon Colin... ;) Nalu wrote: Well, mine is -5secs for the first day on the wrist, we'll see where it settles.

Yeah me too.. my LM-1 runs around +2sec/day... just checked the LM-3 again today and am at about -9sec over the last 24 hours, so maybe she's starting to settle down a little.... :D Paxman wrote: srh_pres wrote:Mine is running about -19sec/day so far. |

Okay, okay....I'm starting to cave, but for 2 things....I hate skeleton hands and how can you be sure whether you are getting an ETA2824-2 and not the Sellita SW200? I have a problem with this "you will get either/or" thing....It reminds me of Bathy's! |

The first production run of the LM-3 used the remaining ETA movements from the LM-1LE production. This first batch of 100 was guaranteed to have the ETA - thereafter will have the SW200.
