 Here is the Sea viper with the classic oyster ss band . i decided again to put the crown at 4hr because its very comfortable . the bezel is coated with pvd and the numbers will be filled with paint.

please give me your comments , i am still undecided on the dial color , since the watch will be ready in december , i was thinking more in a black dial with colored  hands , the blue  and orange dial as more '' summer '' look , what you guys think?

 90% of my watches have a black dial so I do lean more to a Orange or Blue dial myself. :cool: But I do love the look of this watch Martin. Well done. I look forward to it. ;)

 Martin I like the blue and the orange dials.  The black would look really awesome to.  Either way it looks kewl.  I would like to add a little comment on the style of the hands.  I like the style of the hands from the (old) Angler.  I borrowed a pic from John, real quick.  I like the extra tip (orange) on the minute hand.  I can go with the hands that you got, but the Angler hands are just way to kewl.

 I think you have another winner. The only thing I don't like is the shape of the hour hand. I'm with Teddy and think maybe a version of the Angler hands would be a perfect fit.

 I'm with teddyhana on the hands and face. Those hands look to much like a watch with similar spelling to Monstrum. Definately a Blue face. Your watches are UNIQUE in character and design, change the hands and face. Will the outer bezel rotate and the inner be stationary? How about 13 thru 24 on a stationary inner bezel? Crown at 4 is perfect. Just my thoughts on the matter. Ron :cool:

 I must be odd because I really like the hands.

I like the blue and orange dials too.  For the black dial, were you thinking of having colored hands and dial markings?  I.e., black dial with blue lume or orange lume hands?

The shape of the case looks really nice too -- like it'd be very easy to wear.  Definitely excited for this one!

 Martin,

I particularly like the shade of orange you are showing. The case and bracelet look great too. It took me a little while to realize that you've got two scales on the bezel - one to do countdown timing and one to keep track of a second time zone. Very clever and useful! I have to admit I'd like the bezel better if it were stainless, but that's a minor quibble.

Looking forward to pricing and availability info. My Sea Angler may have a brother!

Rgds,

Steve

 Hi Berg! Nice one!

If you decide to do a black faced alterrnative - why not think about that subtle black outer / gray inner portion dial variation you had on the auto Anglers - it was fabulous! Agree +1 on the SA hands, but I do understand that you are not trying to make another SA!

Some Qs -

1. will there be a crown guard?

2. is the entire watch with the exception of the bezel, in brushed finish?

3. there seems to be a filler on the case between the lugs, and I reckon that is a ripper idea. See pics of Orient 300m saturation divers for an idea of how it looks - it is absolutely excellent and leaves minimal gap between strap and case. Can the filler be moved out a little?

4. (last Q!!) - will it have drilled lugs?

I understand that you are pretty well developed on this one already, so there is a minimal chance of design suggestions being acted on - but I really like this new creation of yours and I give you big kudos for finally getting an SS bracelet!

Cheers - IanM hand6.gif

 Hi Martin,

Great watch !! will get one anyway !!

About the hands :
  •  I like the hours /minutes hands, different from SA, but I already own a SA !!
  •  I would have prefered a seconds hand with LUME !!
About the dial : the blue is awsome !! but a black will be great to, don't know what to choose !! (but anyway blue or black before orange for me)

About the bezel : this one is really great, that said as a diver watch (500m !!) I think :
  • Minutes bezel should be in the center, filled with white paint,
  • and hours (1-12) in the outer of the bezel, filled with color paint,
About the case : I think it should be sand blasted.

About the case back : I see nothing on your pics !! hope you are just keeping the secret on the drawing !! don't forget it !!!

December will be long to wait .... I was hoping to have it for august ...

Thanks & Regards

 The blue dial is so nice I can't even imagine the SV dial to be in any other color. Too many black dials out there, IMHO.

The hour hand is fine. The minute hand can benefit from some steroids.

Kudos on the choice to go oyster bracelet.hand6.gif
