Tempting. I assume this is the same thick case as the Baltic Shield?

I need to see a side by side profile of original versus new. That is one of two things I would change from the original. I'm glad the lug holes have "hopefully" been moved in more. I think this lug hole repositioning will be the third attempt.

This why I have asked mutiples time in the past if this watch is 13.5mm tall. Because I know a few guys who were disappointed that it was actually taller than the specs lead them to believe. Since this one is suppose to have a flat crystal it should be 13.5mm but you never know.

For me, it wasn't the total height as much as how it sat on top of my wrist. A flat crystal on the same case wouldn't sway me to try again.

That's a pretty serious error in this stage of the game, Todd. I wish you luck.

Just the renders make the indices look applied. No serious errors. All good. :thumbsup:

I for one would be pretty dissatisfied if I bought based on the new renderings and expected applied indices only to have the watch show up with painted markers.

Fixing the renderings, Nick. The specs list the dial print as flat, not applied. :thumbsup:

Thanks for updating your spec. There should be no issues from here forward. I would suggest contacting the others who have put in their deposits so that there will be no surprises, IMO.

Thanks for clarifying Todd. Good luck, looks like a nice value either way.

Quick and dirties. Better shots to come once the watches go to a couple real camera guys.
