Can you show one of those movements with one of the typical movements to show just how thin the movement is?

I had the first sample in the US but had to send it back. Tested it for 2 weeks here only and got a few pics all on the office PC. It is about half as thick as a 2824. Really well finished.

As this movement is so much thinner. Will the cases be thinner as well? Many like the look of Lum-Tec's at the shows I sell at but balk over the case thickness.

CAse will be the same thickness. The combat B case is very well proportioned i think.

Okay, so then will it be lighter?

Any thoughts about making it thinner to match the movement thickness?

I guess myself and others are trying to determine what makes it "different" besides the movement?

BTW, it looks great, as do all the B series.

Dial pattern is different and different movement. It is in all sense, a B1 without the subdial and autoimatic movement. Modeled 1:1 to the original B1 dial pattern and moved to center seconds. If you see it from the side you will notice the crown size matches the thickness. Any thinner it would have a smaller crown and lose it's proportions.

Soooooo I've been thinking about this one and really dig it- what are the chances it'll be produced?

I love it, nice clean lines, clean dial, love the finish on the bezel/edges. Any chance you would consider tipping the second hand with a little red paint?
