I got mine today after work, boy it is a work of beauty! Thanks to all who played a part in this!!!!

Now I need to master the clasp, easy to get on but so easy to take off!

Well worth the wait!

I added a deployment buckle and find it very comfortable.
As nice as the pictures were, the watch looks better in your hands.

I've got a Seiko Orange Monster I wear frequently. It's 44mm and this watch seems just a bit bigger but I haven't put them side by side yet. I will say it's lighter than I expected, really nice.

I guess my second watch is in the third batch...no problem. The first one was a Christmas Present for my business partner so he got the first delivery. I can wait...sitting here in my puddle of drool...

Actually I'll probably be in Vegas when the second one is delivered. Something good to come home to, glad it's already paid for because I usually come back from Vegas tired and broke but smiling on the inside.

My wife got home before I did, and found the delivered package. Wrapped it up for me, since it was my 40th b-day present, and said "SURPRISE!" when I walked in the door.

Thanks for all the effort Chris, looks great!

Wore it to work today.



Looks right at home. Yes it's a bit larger than the monster but a lot lighter.

Got mine at 10 Wednesday morning. Put it on immediately (that is after five minutes to figure out the clasp). Wearing it again today.

VERY COOL!!!

Thanks Chris and everyone else involved.

Isn’t the red supposed to glow in the dark?

Or does it take quite a while for it to “charge up”?

Glad you guys all like it! It really is a special watch.
I am still waiting on delivery confirmation for the next batch. Shouldn't be too long though.

Denny, the red does glow, but nothing like the green. If you wear it outside, the sunlight will power it up better than indoor fluorescent lights. We did discuss that red super lumi isn't a great glowing color.
The first prototype with the orange hands glows very strong

WooooHoooo! I got mine in yesterday evening. It was delivered to my other home an hour away (my fault as i used the credit card with that billing address)....but when I found out it was coming I made arrangements to drive all that way in the middle of the night (70 miles) so that I could have it to wear to my graduation today. It was ceremoniously opened in privacy (I wanted it that way) in my Porsche. I was impressed with the exposed movement in the back, the size, and the weight. Though the leather band keeps it from being too heavy...you definitely appreciate the feel of the watch.

The irony...despite my midnight run to pick it up....is that I couldn't bring myself to wear it today. Instead, I took it in it's case to show my friends/family as I had first seen it. The band is so nice that I can't seem to put it on for fear of making it less perfect.

To have the watch read "90/100" reaffirms how privileged I am to have been offered such a buy. Obviously, all of us here are die-hard 928 guys....a group of people who have come to appreciate something as unique in automotive history. I can't think of a better way than owning such a rare timepiece, reflecting our passion for this car, than this finely crafted article. In my opinion, it is a perfect execution of theme.

Thank you many times over Chris for organizing such a terrific design & offer. It was well worth the wait.

Kindest regards,
Nicholas Bryant
