Moresnowdays -- I agree with you. The more I look at the drawings, the more I am convinced that the concept is great, but the execution is strictly novelty, neither a serious diver or timekeeper. Conceptually, a great big lume watch is a great concept, but function must take precedence. Take for example the MORAY that has an excellent legible dial, classic look and pure function. The same cannot be said for the Megaladon at this time. Now, everyone has and is entitled to their own opinion... that's why there are many different breeds of dogs, and no two people dress the same. So, if the concept is to make a limited edition novelty watch, then by all estimates that goal has been achieved. But if the goal is to produce a fully functional dive watch that will be admired and collected for artistic design, quality build and execution of a thematic concept that adds character without detracting from the foremost function, then, in my opinion, it misses the mark at this point in time.

The Megalodon doesn't need to be your "tactical recon" watch, there are other watches that can fit that nitch in your collection, my Marathon GSAR does it for me.

Guys, I am just openly expressing my opinion, all opinions are welcome but in the end it is Ralf's watch design. I am just saying (for me) I have plenty of dive watches and I am not sure I would take any of my nice ones on a dive trip, I would use my cheap quartz FREESTYLE plastic dive watch that has served me well since 1989. I have been certified Open Water 1 since 1989 & Open Water 2 in 1996.. and I have been on night dives, I am just saying out of all my watches, I am not looking at this Megalodon as my "Tool, night mission, need to find 12:00 while doing S.W.A.T. Training" Watch. It is just a cool design as the simple dial it started out as, I just offered ralf my idea of popping it into 2 layers for depth and to introduce new textures like steel. I just want my opinion to be heard as you guy discuss all the changes you want to see. and I have expressed my opinion, so from now I will no longer interject into your creative discussions. Steve

Oh come now Steve relax buddy. Your opinion is just as valuable as anyone else's here. ;) Myself I have not done any diving since I got out of the navy back in the 80's. If I were to dive today. Myself I'd likely use my G-Shock. :cool: Let's remember to keep it civil guys. This is 3T. Home away from home. :)

G-Shock would be a good choice. maybe I will run a few dials by Ralf and see if he wants to post them.
