I've received the OWC 9411 about 1 wk ago and have to say its an outstanding piece. I talked with Dan and was asking about the styles and the wait times and happened to ask if he by chance had any "laying around". And guess what? This was a special piece that he was working on to see what it looked like. A 9411 blue dial/black bezel set up with 5517 hands. It really is a great watch. I typically dont post many comments about watches but felt like I should with this one. I wont go into details as there are several reviews written much better than I could articulate it but I wanted to share some pics of this beauty. Although I will say that over the past wk its averaging about -2 sec/day. I've been trying them on different straps in preparation for a trip to the Florida Keys in a couple weeks. I love the OEM bracelet and I have the mesh as well and those are great fits, but always have to try some new things too. So feel free to make more suggestions and add your own pics of your OWCs. Sorry for the rambling and on to a few pics.

Thanks guys. I also got a set of snowflake hands for when the urge strikes to switch it out. This one has the Soprod movement in it and it's an extremely smooth motion. My next order has the seagull movement just to try it out. I have a 5517 on order....unless there is someone who is tired of theirs???

. My other thought for a strap is a watchadoo. Like Lex said...so many ideas, so little time. By the way,Lex, hanks for your help with the bracelet ideas, and great dial thoughts.

^^^that looks great. These really are some quality pieces of work. The mesh is very comfortable too. Love all the pics of the OWCs.

Absolutely worth the wait! Just a very solid piece.

I'll chime in and say that the curved lugs make a big difference. I have a Steinhart OVM and the straight lugs on that make it feel a little larger than the 42mm case. The last time I talked to Dan he said that he was hoping to have everyone's very soon...he was just knee deep in taxes right now. (He's an accountant by trade and this is right small in the Aussie tax season). And he has some new designs coming soon as well. I have to say I'm very pleased not only with the quality of the watches but the customer service so far. He's been very responsive to all my questions. Great pics of everyone's OWC. Keep posting me up.

Great pic asho. Makes me want the mil sub even more. Steppy, hope yours is coming soon. I'm headed to the Florida Keys next wk and my 9411 and gulfman will be the only ones coming with me I think. (Ok maybe a Bathys too). Can't wait to try it out.

Hang in there. It is tax season so that puts a damper on what he really wants to be doing. Here's something to help. My 9411 mod in the Florida keys.
