Aaaah didn't see that post just read it - so will they do anything else with the dssd other than engrave the caseback? I'd there going to be anything in the dial for example or change of hands or NATO ?

Thanks look forward to pic - hand you seen any design sketches ?

Its our branch diving crest, our initials and limited edition number on the case back, the dial and bracelet are remaining standard, they might do something with the hands and bezel but can't be 100%

Nice watches but what makes that DSSD a military watch? Unless because it's yours and you are currently in the military!!!

Take it easy.....Leo

X2. Yes Patek make some great movements but just don't like most of there watch styles, but its a matter of taste you either like or you don't.
