Great pics Skip (better than mine as you can see)...  looks alot like the one in my N1 which is a 2426 I believe.  The only diff is the day/night indicator? :?

Skip, when did they change the movement in these?  The K-3 used to carry the 31 jewel 2416 movement...

Not sure. I just looked at my gray dial black PVD and it has the same movement you have there. The Gray PVD is 1 of 999 where the blue and ss I have shown here is 1 of 3000. So 2 batches at least slightly different. ;)

Its interesting that the case back says 31 jewels, while the movement is marked 32 jewels. Did they just throw in an extra for a spare? Kind of like the extra button sewn to the tail on some shirts.subtlelaugh.gif

All I can come to a conclusion on with them is the 999 is a 1st generation and the 3000 a 2ed generation of the watch.
