    Did up some slight improvements to the curved lugs to reduce the gap between the case and the strap which I think looks better! Anyone else agrees?

            i will prefer bronze, as its less common.
            I like the groove cut on the sides of the case, as it gives the watch more dimension.
            Dun really like the lug-less design (maybe i am not used to it), and hence i think the newer model with lugs looks better, more pleasing (to my eyes).

            its a generally a nice design (the one with lugs). Frankly, i will only get it if it really really sings to me (i do not like to own too many watches). But I applaud you for your enthusiasm and entrepreneurship. so Good luck to you!

                  Thanks for the comments guys! Guess I'll be going with the open lugs design

                  Yes there will be a brown dial and bronze casing as I personally love that combi!

                  I've been getting such requests a lot after telling people about my plans Its not easy I have to say as sevenfriday hired a full fledged design studio in Switzerland for it and you can only guess how much that costs! Can't afford that for now but maybe the next model if i strike 4d

                    Hello again guys! Sorry for the long wait due to the lug redesign which required a whole new CAD drawing done up. Anyways I'm proud to present the prototype!

                    Final specs are
                    43mm
                    Front and back sapphire
                    Internal rotating diver's bezel
                    C3 lume
                    CuSn8 or 316L case
                    SS crown and caseback - A lot of people have asked why not make it in bronze also. Bronze has the tendency to leave a green mark on the skin. Also with the screw down crown, there is a chance of bronze fusing together when it patinas.
                    Custom buckle in bronze or ss to match case
                    100m WR
                    4 Dial colors - Black, Brown, Grey, Green
                    Straps are not finalized yet but it will come with 1 vintage leather (4-5mm thick) and 1 NATO for swimming





                    Looks rose gold when new but patina sets in very quickly!




                    Some patina already forming after a couple of days

                    Some new shoes I bought for it! Brown croc works very nicely IMO

                      Quoted from the movie "Margin Call": "In order to succeed, you need to either be first, be smarter, or cheat. Obviously I don't cheat, and while I'd like to think that we have some smart people over here, it would be a hell lot easier to be first."
                      a good retort bro!

                        Looks good! I like the idea of a dressy diver, too little of that around amongst the micro brand. Is there any way to slow down the patina? Kind of like its rose gold looks. What's the vertical lug length?

                            You could wash it in lemon juice or a whole range of other home solutions but it might be quite a hassle. If there is enough demand I might release a RG PVD coated stainless steel version which would be a whole lot less work to maintain and cheaper to boot Lug to lug is 52mm btw!
