Good work done on final product Ralf/Steve!!! hand6.gif I love the blue theme a lot. One question for you guys. Even if i will be waiting for the auto version, I guess they will be same options and dial than the quartz, right ? And just to make sure I really understand the options available, let's say i would like the black face with blue theme in BB finish, i have to get the hybrid GMT/diver bezel and cannot chose the other one? Thank you for clarifying this for me.:D P.S. Also, i might be one to many step ahead but just in case, you have any expected pre order date for the auto version? Daniel |

Very nice...can we request certain LE numbers? |

Case information: both cases are the same with the exception of the right side crown protection. The bezel does not overhang the case on the left like it looks on the straight photo, it is hard to show straight on, so I will ask for a case sample so I can photo it at different angles. also the lugs will be drilled through for a robust lug bar system, more later on this. Let me know if anyone has any questions. - steve Last edited on Thu Jul 9th, 2009 10:38 am by Steve Laughlin |

If everyone would please stay on track for now with the pre-order of the quartz GMT Worldiver it would be appreciated and not cause any confusion for all the WIS interested in ordering this model ...the available options are pictured and posted above..... Once the auto version is ready (which is a ways off)I am sure Steve will answer all questions pretaining to that watch. el34han wrote: I have the exact questions. Can Steve help answering? |

CASE FINISHES: just to be clear, both cases are available in brushed, blasted, or PVD and also the mesh bracelet will be brushed, blasted, or PVD to match. I will be getting a sample of the case soon and will be able to provide pictures of various angles. Here is a drawing of the cases in stainless and PVD finish. ![]() |
