Very nice, but if I may ask....Why did you decide on a GMT bezel, since it's not fuctional without a GMT hand....am I correct?
Oh, one other question....Was there a reason to not have a screw down crown?
Thanks,

the 24hr bezel was not intended for this watch but it was too late to stop production once discovered (only 50 pieces).
Anders is working on something that will make all WIS happy as a solution..
....many WIS prefer a 12hr GMT bezel because no hands need to be set in order to change time zones...just a quick adjustment of the bezel... no GMT hand is necessary.
...out of curiosity would there be an advantage to a screw down crown on a 50m rated watch or is it just peace of mind?
Personally, it would be a peace of mind sort of thing since I’m a forgetful kind of guy…
For example; I took the dogs to a dog wash (where they provide the wash basin and blow drier and stuff) on Saturday. While scrubbing the dog/s down, it wasn’t till the fist hit or smack (from the latch that’s connected by a cable, that attaches to the dogs collar to keep them in the wash basin) on my Vortex that I remembered that I had it on!!! Anyways, I kept the Vortex on and kept on with the wash!
I’d like to add, that the more I wear my Vortex. It give’s the watch the chance to prove it’s self to me in regards to how it handles the bumps and knocks of a daily wear. It’s done so well in fact that it has me grooving or digging on it even more!!!!
I’m also usually found living on construction sites that it’s my understanding that a screw down crown also helps to keep debris from entering the watch.
That said, I’ve worn (and still have) my Traser Big Date that doesn’t have a screw down crown for several years and it did well.
So it could be just a novice’s concern, but the water is definitely one though.
Thanks,
Lance
