For what it's worth, the 928 has now been awarded Daily Driver duties for the next few months 
Should be fun!
The wifes Lease was up and I just returned it, but we couldn't decide on a new car for her, plus the dealers still have a "tude."
When they come back down to reality, I'll pick her up something.
But in the meantime, she has inherited my G35 sedan and I whipped out the 928.
Now all that is missing in the equation is this damn 928 Watch!!!!!!!!!!

Having said that, most of these smaller watch companies may have to go to the Japanese for manual and automatic movements in the future.
Chris, count me in for a number 071. Sending you an e-mail now.

Another quick update.
Got an Email from my strap importer, the straps have arrived but he is out of the country until Thursday.
I will pick them up then, bring em in and photograph them
Germany is Fedexing me a Superluminova chart that should be in my hands on Wednesday.
This is a chart of REAL superluminova.
What the colors look like glowing and not glowing. So we will choose the hand and redline colors.
I asked them to do this so there are no mistakes when I get the dial in.
I want to be 100% sure on this. I will keep you all posted

UPDATE: Fresh from Germany
I just received the color chart for the Superluminova so there are no surprises when the watch arrives.
As stated earlier, the ! button was going to glow "red" but there is no Red superlumi. If they made it, it would not glow well at all.
So I made a decision to have them paint the background color red with the white Superlumi "!" on it.
I have included a picture of the color chart they sent fedex and pointed to the colors being used.
The Custom straps have arrived, I should have them tomorrow and I should be able to post pics tomorrow unless something pops up.
So here's a recap:
1)All numerals will be white and glow green
2)Silhouette will be white and glow green
3)Exclamation point will be white and glow green
4)Hands will be Orange and glow orange as pictured below
5)Second hand will be black with a white tip
Custom hand diagram from Germany is posted below as well
If there is anything I missed or i get an update on, I will post it here.
Looks like we are still looking at 2 weeks from this week for the prototype.
Just trying to get it right the first time. Thanks for hanging in there guys
