Now, can you add a 3-dial chrono feature, Day/date, and maybe a tourbillon?

All for the same low price, of course....

I can't wait either. Was talkin with the wife about it this past weekend with our 19 yr old daughter. I mentioned how it will be a limited edition, come with a presentation box, etc. I mentioned how it would become a collectors item & the smart thing to do would be to buy two, one to wear & one to keep. She readily agreed!! Heck I thought I'd get some static buying one, now I have to find a way to get the $$ for a 2nd one! Or maybe she agreed knowing that I'd have that difficult time coming up with the extra cash!

The red stitching on the band matches my interior.

I'am really overwhelmed. I think the watch is understated elegance, when do you need the deposits?
RKD, CHRIS, and JAMES, THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH, Joe

I know that is just a mock up, but thought the circles where the hands all join at the center will not be orange. Our gauge needles are straight orange no circles. The circles should be black.

Cant make where the hands join look like you are thinking because the hands overlap each other, the gauge needles only have ONE needle at a time. From the drawings the red circle at the center won't be as big as I have pictured though.
