I doubt it'll be that high but probably hovering around 600-800

I hope its around $600 with asian mvmt although looking at the recent GP prices, I won't be surprised if it was $800+. At any rate, its time to start saving! I would love to see more photos tho because that first pic does really look too good to be true.

That look like a gen. If it is as the first pic, everyone will rush like mad

Here are the photos I was promised. I've been asked to stress this is a prototype and KW doesn't know exactly when it will be ready

That's it! I'm getting one for the dial, hands and inner bezel.The forged carbon looks weird to me and rough though. Hopefully they will improve it on the final product but still, an important achievement by the rep factory. Imaknockov's definitely better.

Oh yes, thanks for the pics Joe. :thumbsup:

If they made a SS diver with that inner bezel, they'd sell thousands and thousands.

Agreed. Carbon looks a bit poo. solid first effort/prototype though and just happy this one is coming to be honest. Z's case should be the icing on the cake.

No point having a lovely forged carbon rep without lovely forged carbon

Thanks for the pics!

I will have to do a side-by side comparison but from a quick glance it's got some clear advantages over v3.5 diver:

-MUCH better bezel screw fitment, very genlike
-better inner bezel numerals, squarer inner "O"s
-inner bezel knob detail seems more recessed, also looks thinner
-better dial finish, smaller tapisserie tops, seemingly finer circular grains

Lume application and case can see some improvements, but an amazing first attempt overall imo.
