    Why no Paradive with Type II dial?

    I'd really love a Paradive with a Type II dial! Why on earth isn't there one?

    I guess only Bill can answer that, although I thought that one of the two Paradives he brought to the NYC GTG a few weeks ago had a type II dial. That may be in the works for the upcoming models.......

    I've been wondering about this myself. I'd certainly purchase a Type II with the diver's bezel... Glad you brought it up for public comment.

    i would love a type ii dial with a standard, aluminum diver/elapsed time bezel. i have this same configuration on my mmt blackwater --which is my daily work watch. i remember bill remarking at the last gtg that the type ii mmt's were poor sellers. perhaps we can muster a bunch of folks to make a deposit for a limited edition run of type ii paradives? i'm in.

    I can now that this might get complicated. *I* would prefer no date and the much more durable aluminum diver's bezel.
