Steve has expanded his Raven Watches Custom Department offerings; some nice options available:

One example.

The watches look ok, but “Custom Dept” on the dial is just stupid.

If he must identify them, a simple “CD” or something on case back would be better.

Everything looks great except the Custom logo

If I go custom, can I decide to not have custom on the dial? Now that would be custom.

Nice looking watch but he definitely should switch that custom dept too the caseback

The method behind the madness:

CUSTOM DEPT dial

The CUSTOM DEPT. logo is designed to look similar to the Vintage Rolex COMEX dials, and also separates the custom watches from the production watches. Combined with the water resistance blue wave, the CUSTOM logo adds interesting visual graphics to the dial.

Well, that may be his intention, but it still looks stupid.

I like Raven, but these are pretty terrible.

I asked Steve if there is an option to leave the logo off the dial; waiting on his reply.

Oh man, I missed this news or rather missed seeing this Matt.

I had thought that Raven’s watches looked amazing in their
regular form, but these Custom Deparment take things up
another notch.

They look ridiculously nice ! ..THX so so much sir !!!

If you like the look and aren’t a fan of the dial, the guy who sells Raven the watch cases also assembles a similar looking watch using the same case.

Other than the dial, the only other difference being the Raven comes on rubber and the Alexander James comes on a bracelet.
