When they were first introduced, I ordered a MKII LRRP and then, when the economy, and my business went south, I had to cancel the order. However, I finally pulled the trigger on this one and it arrived yesterday. It is the basic, Swiss made model, versus a custom model. It is powered by the ETA 2824 Elabore grade movement, I think. So far, it is keeping perfect time. The first picture shows the LRRP lurking in the shadows:

Thanks guys. I was wrong about the movement. It is a 2893 with GMT stuff.

Thanks Mark. It's my first GMT watch and for the first few hours, I thought the GMT part wasn't working properly. It took a change in thinking to realize the watch was both a twelve hour and twenty-four hour watch and that I had to read the bezel with the GMT hand.
