Definitely #3. It's got that classy vibe about it without going too far. Don't make it too crazy; it already has a lot going on! #3 actually reminds me a lot of this:

I've been silently watching this whole process from the start. The white GMT was immediately my favorite though I liked the Midnight PVD and Smoked Dial choices. I really didn't think of buying but if #3 is picked. Ummm... :silent: :shock:

I totally agree. Number three is where’s it’s at and I like the comment about adding anymore would make it look ‘Crazy’.

Fab design from all!

Now how do I pay?! 😃

OK, fair enough.

So now we go to a final poll amongst the five with the anointed dial text?

Absolutely we need the final poll from 1-5 as listed on page 39.

#3 looks great now. The second hand is perfect. Don't need any red on that. Not sure you need any red on the dial text actually. I'd subdue the CW graphic at 12 to the original look on page 1. The dial is getting busy & you don't need the pronounced symmetry. It's distracting on a 4 hander. 42mm is good. These new ones run small.

Poll #4 is up and running, hopefully we get enough interested buyers to move this forward.

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.

The extended red second hand to match the GMT is not an option to be voted on. If it were I would agree about the confusion though.
