I just spoke with Chris on the phone, and all of my points of concern have been laid to rest 
There has been a lot of communication between he and Laco on the details, price and production timeline that he has graciously sheltered us from.
It sounds as though if someone wants some real drama... just call Laco! Wow.
Anyway, another major point in this being a stellar deal is the custom case that the watch is delivered in (that had slipped my mind), and will definitely show up on the pro side of a pro vs. con comparison.
Thank you Chris (James & RKD as well) for being behind this effort... I can't wait to see it!

If nobody wants 88 I'm gonna snag it, since James snagged #001 
If anyone wants it, email me, I'm last on the totem pole (that's what James tells me
)
James!!! Where's my DVD!!!!
It's been 10 hours (at least) and I don't have it yet!

My VIN last four are 9701...so 01 is out. If 88 is available I would be all over it...but I certainly appreciate your time and effort in this venture. I'll leave it to your better judgment. I request 88 otherwise I'll consider whatever is left.

Chris, I am really falling down on the shipping here! I think you have actually had a watch to me in about 10 hours from the time I requested it! I have not had as much practice at shipping stuff as you have!
It will go out Monday (I will need to go to the post office with your box as well as another DVD for a member in Norway!)

James - can you post a pic of the final watch, perhaps add it to the first post of this thread?
Some of us may not have been reading this thread as it progressed and missed the final design (I'm on of 'em).
Thanks.

Randy,
Look at the avatar in the post just above yours and you will see the watch face as we have it now. We do not yet have a prototype of the watch so there is no "real" picture of it yet. Hoping to have that in a few weeks...

Here is a pic of the dial, and the case that we are using.
Also the black pilot strap is coming with the watch along with a 928 Limited Edition strap from Europe that I had made for this watch.
Pierced leather on top (To look like the seat texture) with red stitching and Aero comfort holes on the bottom for ventilation.
I will try to post a pic of the hands, and I will have a picture of our custom strap in a few weeks (I should have them in my hands in a couple of weeks)
Everything on the 928 watch dial will glow it's color (white superlumi actually glows green)
Hands are Orange like the gauge needles
