If it's OK with everyone I'd like to centralize some info about this series. Obviously in the next week we'll know all, but I still have some questions.

First and foremost the 5030 has turned out to be much more impressive than I had imagined. Tanaka video above, and I swiped these photos from a different thread.

Cool? Has anyone seen anything on the 5530 or 6930 yet? Even though these two are not screwbacks, I'm wondering if they are also ion plated (just the casback)? Same keeper?

GSE posted yesterday on Twitter that they have the 5030, the Supra, and still have one triple M. Popping by tomoz, can't afford all three but will try and get some up close pics for you all.

Some more photos and information. For those that don't know, the 5030 is supposedly using the same steel case as the gw5000 (which is why there is a good supply of those right now as well) only Ion Plated instead of DLC coated. This also explains why the 5030 is made in Japan. I swiped these photos from Kumazo on another forum as he was kind enough to show naked photos (bezel removed).

And it turns out this watch (all the rising blacks? Unsure at this time) are using different 30th anniversary packaging.

I'll try to take shots of the gw5000 and dw5030 side by side without bezel when my set comes in.

Certainly looks a strong series from the images.

@BT let us know which you buy and what stock they have....
