Re: Karlskrona Midnattssol Rendering
I like it so far! Maybe you should get with Terry to supply the Natos. Can live with the name as long as people don't associate it with the French-Swedish TV series.

Re: Karlskrona Midnattssol Rendering
Yup... I'm aware of that show. Hopefully their stars will order one.
I considered the English translation "Midnight Sun" as well.

I immediately thought of the band even though it's missing an "s"

Re: Karlskrona Midnattssol Rendering
Looks nice. Any chance you can reduce the case height?
Re: Karlskrona Midnattssol Rendering
Looks good, I'm in.
Like Chris said put on ISO and if you can stick a penny in move closer

Nice! Although I'm not sure I'm in love with the hands.

Karlskrona Midnattssol Rendering
I think the hands and hour markers need a tad thicker/ more pronounced black border maybe

I don’t know if it’s just the rendering but please make that second hand reach the seconds indices. Way too short as is.

Re: Karlskrona Midnattssol Rendering
That would be nice. Assuming you will not be able to reduce the thickness of the case(reduction of case thickness is preferable), if you could shave off 2mm by making the sapphire crystal flat, it would be better, IMO.
It's a beautiful world! Gerald.

I can use a flat crystal. That and the thinner bezel profile will shave a bit off.

Re: Karlskrona Midnattssol Rendering
The dome crystal was a nice feature giving depth tho. Can do a slimmer mid-case ?

Re: Karlskrona Midnattssol Rendering
Any way to get a rendering with the lumed ceramic bezel? I liked it and many in your potential market/audience like that feature. They may perceive it as a negative and loss of a key feature ?

Re: Karlskrona Midnattssol Rendering
Thank you, Brice.
As always, I am happy to build what you guys think is best. I can consider also doing a lumed black bezel insert version. I'd prefer to stay with one type of crystal and I'm thinking flat this time around as it will keep the overall thickness down a tad making it easier to wear with buttoned sleeve shirts etc.
Please chime in and let me know your thoughts.

Re: Karlskrona Midnattssol Rendering
I’d prefer a black bezel, like the Sumo.

Re: Karlskrona Midnattssol Rendering
Personally think the steel bezel looks much better. Just need to change the hands, slim down the markers, lengthen the second hand.
Re: Karlskrona Midnattssol Rendering
The black one looks better to me. I bet if you asked 100 people the results would be close to 50/50.Jeep99dad wrote:Comparo with black bezel

Re: Karlskrona Midnattssol Rendering
Black looks better. Crown looks really weird. I don't like it at all.
