    I have to commit to a lot of cases for this model so it's likely that it will appear in different guises, ivory dial, UTC, etc.

    UTC SB? Fantastic :thumbright:
    Having missed the boat (flight?) on earlier Speedbirds before, I'm really looking forward to this project.

    I'm definitely in the market for a SBIII, and I'd probably go for a UTC as well. Can't wait to see this one!

    Apologies if I have missed the datails, but what are the final case dimensions of the SB3?

    39mm diameter, for the rest you'll have to search for "Still playing with a possible Speedbird 3"

    I wish I hadn't seen mention of a UTC version. Let the hand wringing begin. I definitely want a UTC complication and the SB3 would be an excellent base model for that. I'm just not sure if Iwant to compromise the simplicity of the current SB3 dial design though. What to do?

    Have I missed something? Has there been a breakthrough on obtaining the modified movmements for the SB3-UTC and the Dreadnought GMT ???
