I know there are models that I don't own that I wish I had...so maybe ownership and picture posting isn't exactly reflective of the most popular or loved models. Which is your favorite? I for one would kill to find a Fulcrum available, or see it come back.

Kingston
Nassau
Paradise
Key West
Project 300
Crucible
Fulcrum
Vantage
Blackwater
Seafighter
Hawkinge
Quad 10
LRRP
Tornek Rayville
something that was a custom mod
something I forgot?

Note: I tried to do a poll and of course I screwed it up. Sorry.

If I have to pick one... I can't. They're all unique in their own ways. That's the beauty of the whole thing. It's not a singular approach. Think diversity and win-win.

The Kingston is the best one Bill ever made.

Change my mind.

I agree. The gilt dial is something else

Kingston thirded.

I'm also on the Kingston bandwagon as the best that Bill has done but the project 300 is a very close second

The LRRP was the one that drew me to MKII, the Project 300 is the one I bought.

Wow - very Kingston heavy, which I guess isn't too surprising. Makes me want to buy one (even though I own the Nassau, which I love)! I'm super jealous of the Fulcrum pictures above. And I gotta think other people are in love with some of the smaller runs that have happened. Keep the comments coming!

Man, this question has got me thinking...

My favorite MKII has changed over the years. It's tough for me to say with certainty this "model" is my all time favorite, always and will be.

Prior to 2016, the Kingston. The gilt no date, Bond bezel is one of the best looking and feeling watches I've seen. I've handled plenty of BB58s and I'd still take my Kingston any day over it. (Nothing against the 58)

In 2016 I received my KW, black gilt Pepsi bezel. As a kid I always had a thing for the Rolex GMT Master. So as highly as I thought of my Kingston, and still do, the KW replaced it as my favorite and most worn watch.

Jump ahead to July of 2019, the P300 arrives. Since then it's my most worn and favorite one. It hasn't been quit a year, but I tend to have long honeymoons. The looks, fit and finish, legibility, wearability, proportions, how it looks at all angles plus all the reasons that aren't logical, but simply resonate with you. It's that damn good. Can it stay my favorite MKII for 3 years like the KW did? I don't know, but currently it is.

I love the Kingston, somehow it has more charm and character vs. the BB58

I had an LRRP which I sold (I find myself questioning this decision from time to time) I think a Fulcrum is probably a watch I really would like to have followed by a red triangle Kingston.

3-6-9 dial and red tipped second hand.

Excited for the tornek-rayville. The original blancpain divers for the U.S Navy are some of the best looking vintage divers to me.

Hi all, I am interested in the MkII brand - I've been eyeing his/Bill's Nassau II for a while; just haven't pulled the trigger as yet.
Then I got reading some of the threads here & got yanked towards the Project 300. Read more about which watch the P300 is paying homage to & now I think P300 has risen to the top of the pile for my next watch!! ;-) I "blame" all of you for this! LOL! :-D (just kidding, of course....)

I see many P300 owners here which makes it the perfect place to ask a few questions: this watch is not exactly cheap. Does Bill adjust & regulate this watch to chronometer specs? It does not say "chronometer" on the dial but if memory is serving me correctly I have seen some sort of accuracy certificate that comes with the watch that shows for which positions the watch is gaining/losing seconds - it looks like a bubble map. Does this ring a bell? Or, am I mistaking it for another watch brand?
What kind of accuracy are you owners getting from the P300? From all your comments above, everyone seems to be happy with the purchase...
thanks.

Yes, you are thinking of MKii: Bill tests the P300 in 6 positions, and it comes with the 'bubble map'. Though he doesn't pay to get a COSC certification (many would claim it just marketing fluff anyway), I think most here would agree that his watches easily run within COSC spec. You can learn tons more by sifting through previous posts!

Thanks omegatron24 I have sifted thru quite a few Mkii threads & I don't recall seeing a number. Recently one member received his P300 & said it kept perfect time. I'm assuming that means 0spd. But the member didn't state a number. All-the-sane, I will keep trolling more threads. Thanks.

Kingston is most comfortable and so has been worn the most.

P300 comes a close second. If it were 39mm with a bracelet tapering to 16mm it would be a dead heat!

mtbmike, what size wrist do you have, if i may ask?
I have a 7" wrist & feel that the 39mm diver would look too small. this is based on my 39mm field watch. I felt that the diver should be atleast 40mm. so, I am hesitating ordering the Nassau II.
Am I off base here? thanks.

I'm sure u already know this but COSC certification is more than -4/+6 spd; they also test over 3 temperatures. With Bill using Elabore grade the balance wheel is not temp compensated (or not glucydor) so it's very likely the Mkii watches stray a bit during summer & winter months & not meet COSC spd numbers....
In the end it might not be a big deal to the owners but thought I'd mention it...
