That's really quite funny GZGym1 because I totally agree. I keep checking every 35 secs to see if there's an update and I swear I've never seen the forum so dead before.

I sincerely hope Altair is alright, being sick is the worst and still very pumped for the end result.

OK, so now that you guys have admitted it..... I have been checking the forum every few hours for anything new! Just a little teaser from D8 and now nothing........

Altair, I hope you are feeling better. I cant wait for you to check back in and fill in the gaps!

Sorry guys, but I'm in the dark as much as everyone else I'm afraid.

My "teaser" the other day was only basically alluding to the fact that apparently we don't need anywhere near as many confirmed orders as initially thought to get this made - that was all, so nothing more exciting than that.

Like everyone else I was logging on every couple of hours over the weekend hoping for some news! I guess patience is a virtue guys!

I guess Altair is still under the weather, so completely irrespective of the LE development, I wish him a very speedy recovery.

Hi all,

Sorry for being out of it for the last few days. Got hit with high fever and spent a day in bed, then a day in the hospital, then another in bed. Worst three days of my life. Here is a hint of how bad it was, I got my new IWC grail in and I did not feel like opening it!!!

However, I did manage to send Gunter two emails to follow up on our requirments, and boy are things happening. He asked me not to share info yet as the new feature is "top secret and ekslusive" but I can tell you it is sweet

Also the design is coming along nicely, many thanks to Driver and Roff for their help developing the very final design based on your votes. Especially Drivers work on PS and the very cool last design mod he came up with. We will post a final image once I and Gunter iron out a few details.


lastly I would like to remind you all that we did not scrap any design, I had said (you can go back to the posts) that a number of options would be presented once the first design was completed and see how the voting goes.

Now, about our initial design. Think of it as on hold, pending upgrades and refinement. have not shared this with anyone yet, including our esteemed mods. But will do so when the time comes, probably in a few months.


last note: To those who have PM'd me, I will contact you soon. Still shifting through the emails and PM's.

Thanks Driver, the context of that sentiment is very kind.

Well not to give too much away but the feature is a highly desirable signature of a certain well known brand a few people are quite partial to.

Will get back to you with more info eventually, right now gotta go see about an Italian sandwich that is waiting for me.

lol, now thats funny!

I have been thinking and speculating that we might be talking about either a cut out dial to expose the movement or maybe a power reserve indicator (for the Chrono). OR maybe "Ring Lock System" written on the inner bezel!

I've closed this one up now in light of Altair's latest thread that says, "the design phase is over".
