Hour and minute hands will be different as well.
Sweet!
I have to admit, I like the visual exclusiveness (is that a word?) of a ltd watch version...if it was only the back engraving, it wouldn't seem as special...

Not to jump ahead, but logo time!
(I was gonna copy TGV’s and see who recognized it first, but y’know, lawyers.)

EDIT: I never took Latin so Google translate maybe got it wrong...

Have to say, I generally stick to black or blue watches (with the odd cheeky white dial thrown in) but I really do like that green.

personally i need at least dial logo modification for me to consider this a colab. Caseback engraving and hands feels like a special edition of CWC watch....for that reason I'm out (with the current configuration)

I suspect pricing will be the same since " nopw you get bracelet"

I have my eye on the green dial. It's time to start counting my pennies.

Ahem, showing my ignorance here, but what does this mean and how can we see the designs?

Cheers!

There a secret forum within the forum... just kidding. Here's the thread detailing how you can find your way.

I am assuming that the engraving depth would be the same as the edge engraving. My digital design skills are limited, and I didn’t see if I could change any settings to make it look like a better match to the rest of the engraving.

I have not tried photoshopping in some cathedral hands. While the caseback mockups look pretty good (to me) I am not a digital design wizard. I could take a crack at it, but I wouldn’t expect anything amazing out of my efforts. Maybe Rick can do this or provide some sort of image showing the dial with what the white on blue might look like at some point. I have a feeling that he is far more skillful at this kind of thing than I am.

I don’t know if there is a sort of ‘watchmaker’s design toolkit’ out there where you can pick different standard layouts, add dial text, mess with fonts, preview dial textures and ultimately digitally test out a bunch of different hand sets.

That would be a really cool and helpful tool, but I am guessing that doesn’t exist. If it does exist, I am guessing that I can’t afford it.

We should be seeing a rendering this week or next with what the watch would look like with cathedral hands and engraved case back.

A little birdy told me that the price (if purchased during the pre-order period) will be the same as the standard Cincinnatus pre-order price: ~$250.
