Hi.
Thanx for info...any pictures possible?

I have additional question: is the dial bigger in order to bigger proportion of case in 42mm and 40mm?

Can we see any pictures of it?Especially - traditional creamy dial in both sizes??

Yes, pictures please

Below is 40mm version, there is a 42mm version too. Words from Hong Kong are, front is Acrylic.

Still not sure as picture is very photoshopped.
Is it possible to se real picture of watch number 4 (creamy dial like in 38mm) ??
I would like to have 100% comfirmation that 40mm watch has bigger dial, hands and everything not only case.

I would like to know this too. It will be better if Thomas can post few photos of newer model, that will be a great PR for 1963.

Here are some. But those are test samples only. My feeling is it is too early to order something at this moment:

Hmmm, I'll take the standard creamy + colours look. The black/white dial doesn't have the same character as the cream one.

[pisar]

So do we have any news when it will be possible to make orders ??

Looks like only the dial(s) on the 63/creamy have been made bigger, but the hands have not been proportionally lengthened; none of them touch the outer circumference lines as in the smaller version... a bit unfortunate I think. One of the things I love(d) about the original reissue is the tightness of design and execution of the face. Perhaps it will be less noticeable in practice... and I'm sure no bother at all to some

The new design keeps everything as the previous except adding 2mm extra space on the edge of dial, which makes it look rather unbalanced.

Where will these be available, is there an online source when they come out?

My feeling exactly.

It would be great if one of our members in HK would be able to organise a mass order :)

[sdchew]

Hmm, I guess there's no option for a display back right?

Yes, I fully agree, it is strange that the hands have the same size of the 38 mm 1963 reissue ...
