Stingray: Minor update
The date wheels for the Stingray are here. These are the black background, white text wheels for the 4.30 window. The 12-3-6-9 dial samples have also arrived. The hands were due to ship sometime last week and I will have to check on the mfg to see how they are going. I hope to have them sometime this coming week but we’ll see. I will post a pick of the whole package if the hands don’t take too much longer.

Waouh, I hope to be one of the first in France to have the Stingray 50 !
What about the plexi crystal ? At last, is it possible ?

An acrylic insert seems possible, although it will be an expensive option. However I won’t be working with any plastic crystals. Its too hard to keep clean during assembly without some very expensive equipment.

Bill, suspense on the dial/hands is killin me.
Can’t wait to see difference with the 50 and the 60 too etc… I’m leaning towards the 60.

What is the difference between the 50 & the 60?
Are there any side shots? Will the bezel be convex, following the curve of the crystal?
I’m dying to see the 3-6-9 dial.
Thanks,
Rafael T

The difference between the 50 and 60 is slight. The outter diameter of the insert is larger in the 60 than the 50, which gives the bezel a larger and more pronounced appearance.
The acrylic insert option will be flat. A convex insert would be too expensive to produce given that the flat version will be expensive as a result of its labor intensive finishing and installation.
