don't worry - the non-CG version will also be available at some point. too. Probably at the same time.

Chris - the design looks great & I'm sure getting commitments for 50++ won't be an a problem. Thanks for detailing everything because it's fun to see the design process which must be a real balancing act between features/quality/materials/labor/time/etc vs price point.

I like Mike's suggestion for the "ring of fire" effect. Curious if you can guess the price increase to make this change?

thanks

Not that I'll be able to afford either, looking at the spec... :band: :dunno:

Kolchak - the whole dial will be lumed. That was the plan from day 1. :rolleyes:

 

Yup big balancing act at the moment but I'm determined not to compromise on quality at any stage even if it takes a little longer. It's a philosophy I apply to everything I make.

 

I've always believed that people will pay for a truly good product.

 

Once the prototypes are finished hopefully I can get around 20-30 pre-orders.

 

I'll be publishing a full data pack with price, materials safety sheet, BOM etc on the website which will be live shortly.

WANT. :rolleyes:

 

just wanted to ask about the WINGMAN placement - is it intentionally close to the datewindow? do you think it would look better spaced equal distance from the datewindow as the logo is from the 12 o'clock marker?

Its placed so when the hands are at 12:00 you can see it sits exactly between the date window and the back end of the minute/seconds hand.

Absolutely spot on. The number of times people spoil something for want of a little care. So glad you aren't compromising on anything. Love the crown guards :rolleyes:

Thanks guys.

 

Each watch is going to come with both a 5 Ring ZenDiver NATO and this awesome Half Solid, Half thread link bracelet which will have the clasp engraved with my company logo etc.

 

I may DLC coat this as well, (as ruthenium plating it to match the rear case would be rather expensive)

Thank you, so do I. I think that Rav747 has one of the best, those F' me eyes she has are killer. I like the way yours bounces too, but the head change is disturbing.
