diplosa 0 Posted November 3, 2012 I didn't read all the posts, so if this was mentioned previously - my apologies or not.... May be this will be a reinforcement. I am not personally into divers watches, but I do appreciate them. Am sure Luth will incorporate useful suggestions into the design and what I personally would like to see changed is the graphics on the back- dolphin hugging the world.... dunno about it. And let me say this one more time - RWG NEEDS A LOGO. NOT THE LETTERS "RWG", but an ACTUAL LOGO. Then, the logo needs to go on our watches. Thank you very much.

Yeah i know, this is just 40 minutes of work... If they want I can make a better version in illustrator. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scavolas 0 Posted November 3, 2012 I thought this is a blue marlin on the picture... Which is much more unique and elegant, not speaking of fame. BlueMarlin, with a blue dial and orange hands and markers. As for the design features, I'd definitely want date and a very clean, very simple dial and bezel. This is, at this stage at least to my taste, a bit "too many notes" as Joseph the Second had put it to Mozart. The bracelet is so much top notch on the RWG watch that I cannot recommend anything else. Keep up the great work! Really hope the watch design doesn't change at all!!! I think this watch was perfect from the get go!!!! And what's wrong with dolphins? I guess you could put something more manly like a shark, or swordfish (guess that would be cool considering all the sharp edges!), but I don't see the issue! I mean look at this thing!!! It looks manly and angry!! And I'm gonna throw sword fish out there just because no one has Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DR3M3L 4 Posted November 3, 2012 Hmm, what would you like to see as a logo? Don't have any inspiration right now.... To be honest, i really like the simple RWG, just like the IWC logo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DR3M3L 4 Posted November 4, 2012 It can be used in many places on the watch. Kinda like the idea to place it on a crown with the same shape! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Member X 91 Posted November 4, 2012 Just coming back to the internal / external rotating bezel issue, if we have an internal bezel, won't it have to be lumed? Which would be more expensive? I don't think any of the current divers, like the APROO Divers, have lumed internal bezels direct from the factory, do they? For this reason it may be best to go with just an external bezel?

Luthier 1 Posted November 4, 2012 First I want to talk to the factory about WR on additional crown. If they'll guarantee the same level of WR, as on main crown - then we'll talk about the function and lume. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slask111 0 Posted November 4, 2012 (edited) I think you are onto someting here G. I do like the design, dolphin or not. But i do have to raise the question with the bezel. There is a reson most makers have left the rough bezels and are now releaseing watches with rubber or ceramic bezels. It is becauase it looks nice and function well. Its jst food for thought. I have a breitling, dont need this this so to speak, i guess you get my point. Otherwise go at it. But pls rls. the v1 chrono first, cant wait to get mine Btw, that rendering of the caseback that someone posted before me looks GREAT, food for thought Btw my rules of a diver: 1. Simple dial 2. GREAT lume 3. No fuss. 4. Must look good after 5 years of wear and tear (aka no polished surfaces) 5. BIG hands. Must be easy to read. 6.

wolfwood 4 Posted November 5, 2012 I like the RWG logo on the crown ideal and maybe even on the caseback. On the dial, I prefer the letters RWG. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aututto 0 Posted November 6, 2012 Anyone else think just putting RWG on their just looks like a homage to the IWC logo. I mean granted they're both insanely basic so it's hard not to look alike. And I really like just RWG on there. But styling the letters different or making a logo would definitely be cool! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balad1 0 Posted November 6, 2012 This is the official RWG logo, it exist for many years, and nobody will change it. Put dolphins on the arrows, job done. I like the one posters idea of modifying the RWG logo with 3 dolphins. That would be way cool on a dive watch. I understand the reasoning for our logo and am proud of it but don't want it on a watch. In the U. S. it is the symbol used on recycling trash containers. Sorry, if this offends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
