The white dial is interesting, Todd. Look forward to the photos of Dan's. :thumbsup:

i would pay for a pre-order......guess i am in the minority for a black dial (blue dial would also be ok)

if the dial has to be white make the hands blued......(just a thought)


personally i am just not a white dial fan when it comes to dive watches.....white dialed dress watches are a different story altogether

Black dial is still going to be standard. (I'd also opt for black) :thumbsup:

Yeah, Jared is right,

White dials I will make, but it will not be many, as it is not to general taste. Black will be standard, and I will be looking at a gloss black for the CD-1 as well, but once again not as standard. I wanted a full ceramic Black dial, but my supplier does not want to work with that material, so for the first release at least, it will stay metal.

Gloss sounds interesting Todd.
Salivating at the prospect of seeing rendered images and prototypes for these... sooner than expected too. :excited:
Hope everything goes smoothly. :cheers:

A ceramic black or white dial would be sweet. Looking forward to future releases.
