I would offer a no-date version, and I would extend the 3, 6 and 9 markers a bit to differentiate them from the other hour markers.

Also, any chance for a sandwich dial or a different dial with a bit more texture to it?

Overall, I think the watch looks really good - well done.

Date at 6 and ND versions would be my preferred options.

Thank you for all of the input. Much appreciated! :thumbsup:

The dimensions will be 43 X 14mm and 22mm lug width. I will be supplying either a Nato or Silicone/Rubber dive strap along with one of my Original Sailcloth straps. The watch will come in a signed zipper travel case similar to the Minesweeper I did last year.

I am exploring options with the sapphire crystals as I want to make sure anything domed isn't to much of a "ding magnet". I am also looking at flat crystals.

More to come soon. :cheers:

Double domed with internal AR would be terrific. :thumbsup:

:excited: perfect. Nothing beyond 50mm for a 43mm of this style IMhO. I was hoping for 48 so 49 is great :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Now how about
Date at 6 instead of 3
A ND option
Anthracite grey dial maybe?

That'll be all :lol:
