    No, we're not doing that again. Despite detractors complaining about symmetry, the SB3 has been my most successful watch ever.

    Lol - I remember the debates :lol: but as Eddie said - it just looks right and it's just about my favourite watch.

    I predict this will be a pretty good seller too and the perfect business travel watch.

    How come the triangle at the top missed out on some lume though?

    Because most people send things off to Bry1975 for modification and I thought "If I put lume on the triangle, Bry will probably go out of business".

    Actually it was to keep the triangle the same as the numbers.

    Because you haven't got one...

    Or, because it is the allure of a new 'Eddie' watch...

    Re: I wonder what's in here?

    Need for a GMT - managing the time difference from Cheltenham to, say, Ipswich, which always feels like a time zone has been crossed..

    I suspect the stress of waiting is causing me to post rubbish..

    TBH it's that really... since discovering Eddie and his fine watches there have only been a few I've not sampled and several I've bought new.

    Have we done the speculation on price yet? Regular SB3 is £340 so what's this one likely to be?

    Does it matter, I would have thought you would hold out for a DN GMT

    It wouldn't surprise me if that didn't make it until nearer Christmas... or we could be pleasantly surprised!!

    Either way I'm going to have a find some friends abroad to make use of any GMT function, and that's not as easy as it sounds ;)

    Since when did 'need' ever come into the equation when it comes to watches? :shock:

    Have to agree here, whilst I know what the answer will be, I'm surprised that the lume colour isn't the same. :(

    That is a beautiful watch, Eddie.
    Congratulations on another winner.
    Beautifully understated in all ways.

    It wasn't an accident you know. If you look at one of the Sinn watches, they have 3 different colours.

    I think the 3 colours work well as a point of differentiation. Especially with the GMT hand.

    Beautiful Lume shot, I take it the next picture in this slow reveal with be the ivory dial GMT :lol:

    I like the multi-colour lume. VArying lume irritates me when its clearly meant to be the same colour, but with different colours its good. 8)

    This is the first time I've read the whole thread and saw that a couple of people have requested numbers already - and if I could, I would very much like 007 - for the obvious reasons :wink:

    As soon as they are available, I'm on it with the credit card :)

    Eddie, if you want one mate, I'll get you one!

    Especially for this beauty!

    Depending on how your good lady is, do you have any idea when these may go on sale or is that a stupid question and i should retreat to a quite corner within the local library and have a jolly good think about what i have just said!

    Just do it, if there's only 100 you'll not lose much if anything if you need to offload in future. Also look at it as a contribution to keeping this wonderful forum running. :)
