Yesterday I was thinking this watch would look great in black….

I checked on FB to see if that was real or a mock-up.

It's real, looks great.


Steve is adding a black dial into the pre-orders.

The yellow is looking very good. Right now that would be my choice.

Yellow is current number one for me as well.

The DLC and the blue are vying for 2nd place.

Steve's FB post:

Here are all of the Endeavour II digital renderings. Now with the white date wheel which doubles as the 6 hour marker.
I will be working on the website updates next, and probably open the pre-order next week, but it will still be 5 months or so until they are ready. I have not started the production quite yet.




I typically prefer color matched date wheels, but I think the white date wheel is an improvement.

Here's the yellow:

Other changes:

The blue fade dial with SS hands is not being offered at this time. Blue dial with gilt hands instead.

Two-tone with blue dial instead of black.

No green dial version.

The pre-order is open; got the yellow ($580) and the DLC ($600).

Steve said the watches will be in production for the next 5-6 months; no idea when the pre-order closes.


I also pre-ordered the new Seiko GMT from Topper's a couple of weeks ago.



Might decide to sell a couple of watches in the meanwhile to keep numbers in check.

Don’t these come with the new Nodus adjustable clasp too?

Yes they will be. Hoping it will be the revised version. I wasn’t overly impressed with the first one.

I pre-ordered the yellow version as well. Just like this combo out of all of the models offered.
