I also think about something new with an Barracuda blue  dial, sorry if I change the dial color it is no longer a Barracuda for me,  this blue fish was the name inspiration so if a  Barracuda re issue  it will get a blue carbon dial again
 I hope you'd also buy one with a blue dial;)

... just food for thought.

I'd buy one ;) .

I do not want to replicate other watches,  I will always try to make a own design  with different looks for each model, but that some parts  will show a similarity to other watches I cannot avoid.
My goal is to make attractive , tough, reliable and affordable dive watches for collectors and users, I will try to offer different sizes, for those who want it smaller and also for those who want it bigger but most will be around 44mm.
 Something for real divers and something for office wear.
 I have enough ideas in my mind but I want to see if we are in one line, and I think we are. 

 A taller watch with a lower deep rating is in work.
  The problem for a GMT design is the movement which one?
 A Chrono diver with a Ronda quartz movement would not be a problem.

Seeing as the Sea devil effectively covers the big diver market. A few ideas for other watches

Maybe make a dive watch which isn't as tall so can be worn with office wear...(12-14mm), obvuiously this would have less depth scale

How about a GMT design?

How about a Chronograph diver?

I think in order to develop the brand you should continue making the watches affordable but give sufficient style and individualism to make them attractive. Avoid replicating other brands, and also avoid replicating within your own brand. Thereby giving a varied range.

What you decide depends very much on your own values and vision for this brand.

I guess the color looks different on some monitors, but I think the  limete color is more greenish

I like this idea...not necessarily the 6105 but how about a cushion case with the benarus carbon blue dial.

Yes, Yes.  I dig the light blue dial.  Now lets make this in a 44-46mm cushion case,   30+mm dial and an overall thickness of around 15mm.  300-500 meter depth rating is fine with me.  Gosh, that sounds like another brand but if done right could look totally different...

I would say this is one of the earlier takes on the cushion case incorporating a rotating bezel and and a great vintage design....very cool imho Ralf and a great vintage dive case,especially the use of the rotating dive bezel on the cushion case! hand6.gif...if you are thinking along these lines as far as a vintage style watch with the use of your awesome signature dials I would say you have a winner my friend! yahoo.gif

I agree with one of the previous posts....I think going with an homage is what everyone is doing, you have done a great job making your watches somewhat unique....IMHO this is what you should continue to do.

That said I really like the idea of the vintage cushion case look, and as Oscar said the rotating bezel would be very cool....minimum size 44mm.
