Thanks Kurt!

Good luck with your search GWP928...we didn't make but 100 of them so finding one for sale will probably be a challenge.

Enjoy wearing mine on special occasions and almost always when driving the 928. Have had a number of comments and glad I matched the SN and year of car. Thanks to those that organised this project.

Did you really?! That is awesome! They are GREAT watches. I love mine! I have one (#1) with the leather band and #92 with the bracelet band. #1 is more dressy and #92 is more sporty!

I've done a couple custom watch projects. The easiest way to get this done is probably to get someone to make a custom dial that will fit the Seiko 7S26 automatic movement, and sell the dials and provide contacts for custom watch makers who can assemble it with the case, and hands of your choice.

To save me having to look through 120 pages of posts, can someone post a picture of the previous dial.

Heck, I spend 20min trying to find what I paid for mine.

Not that it matters. I love it.

Shawn, do what you like, but don't use this dial if you do another watch of your own... I and RKD in OKC with input from the group here designed it and I DO NOT give you permission to use my design. This watch was VERY special with sapphire crystal and a Swiss movement and hand assembled in Germany by Laco with a display back! We made 100 of them, all numbered of course and folks picked the S/N that they wanted. There was nothing off the shelf about these watches. Every part was made special for us save the movement, which is special, but not custom for our needs.
