It looks like 42mm unfortunately, but I'm trying to round up a posse of 38'ers :D

If the 40mm had of been an option for a GMT I'm might have chosen that but I feel 38mm is just too small for my wrist even though its only 6.75" so 42mm for me.

The Mk3 does wear small I think for a 42mm

Again, I have no skin in this game but I just want to point out the potential visual confusion that could be caused by having the seconds hand red tip of equal length to the red part of the GMT hand.

Of course, the shapes are different, but at a glance, I think it could confuse - making the watch more difficult to read. It's a very small point but I though I'd mention it.

Here's a high res on #3. Unfortunately I don't feel like doing all 5 options but others are welcome to modify the second hand as needed.

There is if you close your eyes and imagine it ImageImage


I can't remember as many tweeks being done on any of the previous fle's. We must have nearly exhausted every possible scenario by now.

I'm not sure if we're still tweaking the designs or not. Perhaps those 5 are the ones going to the final vote maybe @Kip could confirm?

i asked on page 39 if we were done tweaking and no one mentioned anything at that time, so I put up the dial print poll. We have to stop somewhere.
