It will be interesting to see how the finished numerals look rather than the prototypes. Hopefully be just like my old zenith type 20.
Cheers now, Paul

^^^^ They will hopefully be similar to the ones on the current Vertex models.

Keen on the green watch and may well add my name to the reservation list.

Anyone else tempted?
That is a good looking watch I must say! Did temptation give into a reservation Richard?

^^^^Completely agree, very nice :thumbup: I see nothing in Downers rules stating one must allow the most recent purchase to arrive before making another :lol: Waiting on a delayed UPS shipment due to massive snowstorm.
Time and money? I’ve spent most of mine on booze and women. The rest I just wasted…

I've put my name down but will decide when the email arrives.

I do like it but something is niggling me and I haven't worked out what it is. It could be the recessed hour markers in the chapter ring. I would have preferred 'normal' lume dots :?

I haven’t seen it stated anywhere, but I’m sure @PINUK (Piers) can answer the question, as he will be buying the movements. :)

I have also realised that I like it because, in many ways, it has a similar dial layout to this.

^^^^ looking good Rich.👍

I was thinking of going for one, but decided to pass.

Still undecided about going for the green, blue or neither when released.
