    Re: Design concept?

    Hi Dave. At this point we're just playing around with a concept, but if we make the watch, the GMT version would probably come first. If we find some 2824 movements, maybe we'll do a second version.

    I like the other 2824 design without the reflector. It really isn't necessary, and that design goes along better with our design philosophy.

    A lot also depends on how well the LM-2 and LM-3 sell next month.

    I was wondering, are you considering other movements? I see other makers are looking at the SW200 and SW300 as the ETA movements become harder to obtain.
    Take care,

    We are using the SW200 in the LM-2. I don't think the SW300 is available yet, but we will use it when we can get it.

    This is just a temporary shortage. Several companies will start making 2824 compatible movements shortly.

    Here's another variation of the 24hrs markers integrated within the dial.

    Interesting that the bottom numbers on the reflector are upside down.

    Re: Design concept?

    Just a thought, what if you made the lines on the reflector aline with the hr/min markes at 5,10,15 etc and used odd numbers 01 | 03 | 05... etc on the reflector. Would make the dial appear to 'flow' all the way out to the bezel...

    Crude mockup here... but you get the idea...

    Ok Robert... pardon the crudeness, but perhaps something like this... side by side for comparison...

    Great work Steve!

    Looks great except I think the GMT hand would look better if it were black instead of orange. The orange arm is too distracting and takes away from the dial, of course in my opinion.
