Thanks Bill for the excellent foreword

I bet there will be two distinct prevailing emotions to describe this VC series:  Love it or Hate it.

Eitherway the decision to proceed with the project was brave. 

All the research that went into modeling the masks for the dials, the museum curators, and the craftsman at VC involved with bringing these watches into reality deserve our accolades.

My vote is: Love it!

Thanks again,

Mike
