Hello all,

Finally managed some pictures.....









They look a little washed out, but I can assure you that the watch is jet-black.

Will post some more pics, with more natural lighting soon.

Just fantastic - congratulations

The winding rotor in the shape of a seashell..... lovely idea.

On the WG/blue model, it is the shape of of diver's mask...

That's one wicked watch! I love the shape of the rotor and the blacked out numbers on the dial. The FF models are great!

I really like the trend of making these "All Black" models for high end watches... I'm a big fan of the Blacksteel Brightlings as well!

I didn't realize it was a diving mask - another nice touch!

Thanks for the excellent info

That is a sick watch. I think it would look killer on the proper brown strap. Something about black case and brown straps!

Another nice pic (not mine) ...did someone say "ebony & ivory"?

Don't drop the white one in the snow, you'll never find it...

Congrats and thanks for the pictures.

It's certainly in my top 3 list of worthy prospective purchases.

That's one nice piece mate.
Is it the ceramic bezel and if you don't mind, may I ask how many coins you needed for it?

Icon2 Wrist Shot

Though I would add the obligatory hairy wrist shot - but let me say that it wears very small for a 45mm!

It totally belies its size, both in case height and face diameter - feels and looks no bigger than a sports Rolex!
