Been awhile since I talked MkII and some time since I visited the forum.

I remember a lot of talk about Project 300 that I put in two deposits, one for a buddy. I pulled-out and bought a U1 instead and sold off all three of my MkIIs since (still wouldn't mind having my Seafighter as it was a much better design than the Milsub).

This thread prompted me to check the forum again and I cannot believe Kingston orders are still waiting all while two more projects (Project 300 and GMT) are in the works.

By the time you see this watch Rolex will have re-released it in Basel 2017.

I still voted "LOVE" in your poll. I wanted this before Project 300 but Bill's slow practices just don't make them a worthwhile option with all the other happenings in watchdom.

Thanks, I have to agree with you that the process with KINGSTON is very slow, but these are being built here and Bill is scrutinizing every piece.

Bill has indicated in a post yesterday that KINGSTON would be finalizing its allotment and that GMT will start design elements next month...

Certainly more likely to be a solid piece then! For your sake I hope he doesn't overlook any key design features in order to keep it entirely "homage." Good luck!

Put a coke bezel on there, and that might be tempting
