    PIX of the new GMT

    OK..cat is outta the bag. I've had these pix from Mike for months now, but could not share them.....The GMT is coming out in these two dials.
    45mm case = LSD size SS 24mm lug Enjoy!!

    All of you lusting after a "numbers" version of the SOA just may have something to scratch that itch !






    God Bless, Liz

    Thanks Liz. I love it. The Blue Face is clearly the winner, though I do think the bezel is a bit too plain.

    I Have to agree with the others about the bezel. I can understand it on the SOA, which in reality is the dress watch of the Kobold lineup. On this, though it just looks unfinished. Does the Bezel rotate? and if so, it would be easy to make this a truly useful GMT watch by adding a 24 hr bezel. then you could have a three time zone watch... Now that would be a great GMT.....

    yes Phaedrus........I agree....and why wouldn't he do this if he's most likely discontinuing the PS ??

    I asked if the bezel rotates...and it does.

    I really REALLY like this watch. It looks like it could take a bullet.

    I love the circle on the bezel. At first I hoped it was a triangle, but it's totally grown on me. The numbered dial hearkens to the SMG-1.

    I can't wait to see more pics.

    I agree that it would be cool if it could be used as a 3 time zone watch.

    I also think it might look good with a black bezel insert instead of the steel bezel. Here is a rough concept of what I mean.

    Reason why I would look at the Arctic Diver was because of the bezel. I do like the dial on this GMT more though. Liz, nice job! I bet you had to bite your tongue a few times.

    Wow. I've been trying to decide on a GMT/UDT watch, and this just makes the decision all that more difficult. Or does it...

    Has the release date for these been set yet?

    I was told these would ship at the end of October.
