    I wonder what's that hole for beside the crown. Either way though that's a nice looking ball. Probably still choose my skindiver though

    Does it have the internal diving bezel that enables you turn it by turning the external bezel (similar to that of the IWC's AquaTimer)? If that's the case, the hole might be part of the clutch mechanism.

    The more i look at it the more i like it. Still might prefer the new marvel light just because the tubes on that look better. I like when they make it so it looks like raised indexes. The coin edge bezel is nice though

    Sorry I don't know what happened to the link. I beleive the button next to the crown disengages the internal bezel and allows the bezel to close the anti-magnetic aperture on the back. Just a guess since there was no prototypes at Basel since the patent was just issued the day before for the system.
    Cheers,

    Michael

    Tell everyone you saw it on IWL!
