    Excellent.

    I don't know the answer to this but will there be a HRV or HEV? I'm not sure as to which term you're using.

    Excellent choice, no poll needed. I think the button would look neat knurled.

    HEV been ditched? Squeeze one in somewhere?

    Great news on the push button I don't care about the HRV......

    at all, much rather have the second lumed bezel it that is still planned. Very exciting news, cant wait to get it on the wrist. I am also glad we are in thread 4 easier to read, I check in at least once a day.:thanks

    Cheers

    We will not use an HEV. It is probably not necessary, and there is no good place for it.

    YAHOO!!!!!!!!!!! Right on!!!!! I second a smooth button for the bezel lock so the LM-7 more closely matches the original PloProf. I agree that the HEV is unnecessary.

    Now, I am very eager!! This is really exciting!

    Will you be posting any more CAD drawings, Mitch? The last one you posted on design thread 3 appeared to be close to what has been envisioned.

    Here is the latest drawing that was previously posted. This is what I would like to see in the final product, except with a smooth push button.

    The watch will definitely include a spare bezel and both stainless and red anodized buttons.

    I dont' believe that a suitable thick mesh bracelet is available from Asian suppliers. We will offer our new bracelet separately, in steel.

    Are there any final comments or suggestions on the design? It's time to start production. The plan is to have samples in late October, and full production in late December. That means delivery in early January.

    Two hundred movements are already bought and paid for, so the sooner, the better.

    Mitch
