Ralf,

Stick with the 4 primary colors. For a "tool" watch I dont think buyers want to get fancy. Orange and Yellow are real popular...just ask Keith at Boschett:D

Looks like y0u have a very nice product, continued success.

Tony

I agree with oscar that white dial that shows lume blue sounds cool.

For me, as long as there is black, everything else is gravy.

I see the 4 standard colors plus a BGW9 full lume dial seems to be a good combination thank you so far for the input.
Further opinions are very welcome.

I think a medium-dark gray might look good also.

Here's how I'd do it... A good deep red to compliment your current blue line.

The dark gray and orange combo I originally wanted to go with is currently in-production at Enzo as a GMT model.

While not a comment on dial colors, I would also consider toning down the size of the numerals, or maybe just show markers and no numbers.

One thing I like about your current dial design is that you do have large numerals and clean, simple lines for the other markers—that separates your watch from the other lines that use the same case.

If you had just used all markers, you'd be too close to an Enzo, (for me at least), to warrant buying one, since I already own an Enzo V001.

As for Schaumburg watches, they are packed with ornate numerals, making for a very "busy" look, much different than your current simple and clean layout.

I'm looking forward to wearing my Barracuda #17!watch2.gif
