I have to say if you hit the target price of $475 with an SW200 movement, you will have a winner on your hands, along with the other specs. Many others these days using the 9015 in watches well above the $500 price point, and for the people that prefer swiss movements, this might be a micro brand they will look into.

Sorry 1st time seeing this. Is this the final design or are you still open to suggestions? I would like to see you carry the logo to the end of the seconds, ala Ball, Zenith, etc. Also, a nice domed sapphire crystal option would be awesome! What type of lume are you considering?

Great job and good luck with the project. Timeframe??

putting the trident on the end of the seconds hand would feel an awful lot like a christopher ward c60 trident.

I hate that so much. I had no idea that anyone enjoyed that feature.

True..., change your logo.

i don't think he needs to change the logo at all, it's perfectly fine and matches the name. i just think putting it on the seconds hand would mimic the C60 and is probably an unnecessary touch here.

i own the c60 and like the trident seconds, but i think it would feel a little derivative here.

Nice, solid looking hard use micro dive watch. Well priced. Good size. Good colors. I like that you put a black date wheel on the black dial, white date wheel on the white dial. I like the reach of the hands.... just right. I've always considered the lollipop style seconds hand classic. I like it.
And, I agree that to put a trident on it would be far too much like the C Ward. Ceramic bezel, too.

I also dig that you have the guts to post up your watches here for discussion and that you don't get angry or pissed at certain commentary. :cheers: Hard to please everyone.

Best of luck to you. :salute:

Nice job on this one.

The date, however, would make this a no-go for me - any chance you will offer a limited run of no-date models?

Thanks for posting this.

I like the black one and would consider it if I were shopping for that type of a watch.
