    Very nice 8)

    I'm sure the anti-mag rating will be adequate.

    Re: I wonder what's in here?

    The anti-magnetic rating is the same as the SB3 which is why this wasn't available earlier, we had to order special parts from ETA to get the required hand height for the thick soft iron dial.

    Good answer. :wink:

    So, is the bezel on the GMT higher than the standard SB3, or are the dimensions identical between the two models?

    And let's have some more pics ... :bounce:

    I check them all for things like hand alignment, cosmetic blemishes, date change, etc but short of wearing them all for a couple of days there's not much more I can do. Just a case of finding time to take the pictures and update the website now.

    The movements should all be excellent though, they came from Choisi.

    Looks great, Eddie. I really like it... in fact, I prefer the date at 3 o'clock (rather than at 6), the 24 hour hand is well executed, and the signed dial is nice. :thumbright: :thumbright:

    Re: I wonder what's in here?

    :D Now that is a stunning watch, the normal SB3 is one of my all time favourites and that looks just as good, I like the very moody photograph as well 8) I will continue to wait for the DN GMT though as that what I really want.

    I've been trying to get movements like this since 2003 and finally given up :( . I did find someone who would modify the 2893 but it was expensive and they would only do a minimum run of 5000 movements, which I would have to supply.

    Re: I wonder what's in here?

    Have to post again. The more I look at it the more I want one. It's a great watch, look's fantastic. Date at 3, GMT function, steel bracelet, not to big, not to small, perfect hight, automatic movement of excellent quality, what more do you need? For me the answer is: nothing! The perfect watch!

    Neunelfer – if you don’t already have a timefactors piece, you will be even more pleased when you get the watch in hand - Eddie’s watches are excellent. I have the SB III and it’s just about the best of the bunch.

    Looks like Eddie has really hit the nail on the head with this one! Looks superb and really well proportioned. I’m more than happy with my sterile SB III but this should be a best seller for sure.

    I always wanted to buy a SBIII and saved some money for it. Then I stumbled across the SBIII GMT and from that moment on I knowed that's the watch I'm waiting for!
