    Quite fitting - a cigar colored watch named Havana (I know / remember this one was dubbed the Root Beer dial, but still).

    Great renderings, Malyel and the first one (white face, Pepsi Bezel) remains my personal favorite.

    I am pretty sure that will be one of the models. White face Pepsi Dial and Black face pepsi dial.

    I love the root beer dial but it would be at least 5 years before we see that.

    The white dial is my favorite as well. I was wishing for a gilt/white dial. but that probably won't happen. I have a bunch of black dial sport watches, and only 2 with white dials, and they are both dress watches. I'm ready for the GMT!

    Do you think the gilt would contrast with a white face? I would prefer navy blue but I feel it has to be dark to contrast I think?

    Me too, Arthur. I was hoping for the white and gilt dial, with a black or navy blue outline around the gilt,between it and the white dial-face. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what develops.....

    We're drifting off topic here, but I really hope that Bill will consider selling us a watch with two dials: the buyer/owner's first choice installed (black or white) and the spare dial being the other color. Personally, I prefer the black dialed version due to the gilt accents on the dial.

    Thanks, Menno - You are right.

    It would be most productive to help by sticking to a discussion of the name.

    The physical attributes of the watch to be discussed in detail, and at length, probably - Later.

    All,

    Whilst Havana is a great name, is it not fair to say that Key West is more appropriate to the PanAm inspiration for this watch ?
