Re: A sample photo
Looks good. Kip, is the due date still set for November or has it been delayed a bit?

Re: A sample photo
This was the watch designed by a forum member which the majority taking part voted as the winning design. There is no "they".DISJT wrote:Very nice looking watch.
Did they give any consideration to cutting the date opening out to show 3 numbers? Looks like the dial is notched for it and IMO would balance the big logo out better. That would then actually be a new logo design i'd buy.
Just a thought. Im not even on the waiting list.
Oh yes, it looks great!

Re: A sample photo
I'm very very happy with that
Really looking forward to getting it now.
I paid by PayPal so it's all fully paid for already.

Re: A sample photo
He could have finished putting it together before taking the first photo, I was very concerned about the legibility of the subdial hands for a moment
The second pic looks great though, looks just like the render - I'd not have known the blues were different

Very nice! Glad you didn't keep me waiting long Kip, my hands were starting to go numb.

Re: A sample photo
They are still aiming for November, but with the some minor delays due to the dial/hands we are probably looking at December before they actually get shipped. That is my best guess.Devarika Woulf wrote:Looks good. Kip, is the due date still set for November or has it been delayed a bit?

Re: A sample photo
I thought the drawing showed a much more cream color dial - and had thought the finish was opaline. Doesn't appear to be the case. However, the lighting under which the sample was photographed is likely to be tending towards a blue color temperature so may be making the white look starker than it really is.suicidal_orange wrote:He could have finished putting it together before taking the first photo, I was very concerned about the legibility of the subdial hands for a moment

Re: A sample photo
I think the blue hue can be easily attributed to the lighting. If I'm not mistaken the white portions would still have the same color / finish as the standard model.FloridaPhil wrote:I thought the drawing showed a much more cream color dial - and had thought the finish was opaline.

Yes, you are right. I forgot there were examples already on the site! That's the finish I was thinking of.srs1286 wrote: I think the blue hue can be easily attributed to the lighting. If I'm not mistaken the white portions would still have the same color / finish as the standard model.

Re: A sample photo
You can see bits of the bright blue popping on there. It won't be dark like that in bright light; thus, reconfirming my choice for the tan strap over dark blue.

Re: A sample photo
I had absolutely no hand in the design of this watch after joining the party rather late. I do however think the community have created a great design. The sample pictures just prove to me i have bought into a great concept.

Re: A sample photo
The new C3 case is 39mm, and with 20mm lugs. Perfect size; in my opinion.
