please give me your comments , i am still undecided on the dial color , since the watch will be ready in december , i was thinking more in a black dial with colored  hands , the blue  and orange dial as more '' summer '' look , what you guys think?

I don't mean to be contrary, Jim, but Orsa has been there and done that. Why would Berg continue to make the same watch over and over. He could easily pull out the Sea Angler, Pro Diver and Monstrum and just sell the same watches over and over again. I for one am glad he has taken the time to create another watch for those of us who love what springs from the Orsa stable. You can always exercise your right to search out Monstrum and do not have to purchase the sea viper if it isn't to your liking. It seems to me the WIS community here at 3T has been craving something new from Orsa and the response has been predominantly positive as is fitting for this design imho.

The hands on the other watches are indeed cool but for a new design I'd expect new hands too and like the concept Martin has going with these they complement the indicies on the dial. ;)

Berg... Has the decision been made about the bezel? Are you still planning on having the split bezel, or did you decide on the regular style?

I have to agree with Pax....why would Berg want to make the new Viper look like the Prodiver ...Sea Angler or the Monstrum????  .... to the seasoned Orsa collector who has been here since day 1 back to 04'/05' and to when Berg made his 1st watch back in 02'/03' or so what we all love about the brand is that each new design is just that NEW and made in very limited quantities...nothing carried over or borrowed! ....Berg I hope you do not change a thing Buddy ...the Sea Viper rocks! yourock.gif

Hey guys, the monitor that I have during the day is absolutely horrid... and  I couldn't see any of the details of the blue dial or the correct color... so now that I have a glare free hi-resolution, screen, with proper color settings, I can see that the blue Sea Viper is pretty darn cool.  Trust me, I am not making this up, but earlier today, I could not see the blue numbers on the outside edge of the bezel, or the other fine details.  So I take back what I said earlier.  This is really very cool (below) and I love the shade of blue.   

Thanks, Jim

I really like the way this one is shaping up. My only comment would be to beef up the hour markers. Aside from the 12,3,6,9 markers, they seem to be very narrow and that means much less lume, and nobody wants that.
