May I be so bold to suggest that the new thread that is upcoming for the Megaladon's second dial design begin with a small thumbnail gallery of previously-posted Mega 2 designs (with corresponding numbers) that we are still referencing from. That way when we post, we can reference by stating the sample number without loading the thread with the same images again. I agree with Teddy... this has been a fantastic thread that has attracted new blood to 3T, and Steve has done a fantastic job of creating a vision that we all have been drawn to— and can easily build from to create the Mega 2 dial... kudos to you Steve!!!

 I do believe that was what I was wanting to say earlier. Maybe that is why I work in construction and am not a not a writer!!! I Especially agree with that part about Steve. Last edited on Sat Apr 4th, 2009 01:13 pm by sparkii |

I got confirmation earlier that this is Dial #1 from Steve, as the staff here has stated, there will be more dial configurations as well posted on this thread, which is cool, I was confused on what to get myself, obviously to date there is no #2, just great ideas kicking around for now, listing more dial options. Now that it's been clarified it's easier to make a decision from there. I don't remember what "Dial #1" is... :?

I've had to be away from the forum for awhile and am just now catching up, so clue me in if I've missed something, but I'm confused. If you create a second design, aren't you in effect creating a second watch . . . a watch with a separate and distinct personality and character? I think I'd be more interested in this offering if I knew there was going to be a new watch created with a singular, well-defined and unique look -- the Megalodon look -- rather than a "line" of two watches sharing the same case and some other common characteristics. IMHO, Steve has nailed the Megalodon look with his design. Throw in some hand and/or dial color variations and finish options, and you've got all the customization you could ask for. It appears some of you have a lot invested in the idea of a second design so please don't take offense . . . it's just one person's observation.

I actually agree with you sooner76, I believe Steve nailed it with his #1 concept. Offering various dial colors and hand colors creates a nice, complete offering. My only problem is with the hands (personally I believe they don't fit the design, since they are "straight to point" in design, while the entire watch is "arc to point". I also believe these current hands scream "Seiko Velatura!" which is not a draw for me at all. I know that there would be an additional expense to make a hand change at this point for Ralf, (he told me so), but I'd be more inclined to pay the additional cost at purchase to get a set of hands that carry the Megladon's "beveled-point tooth" theme. If I have some time later, I'll post a hand design sample that would be a better fit IMHO.

I totally agree with you guys above. I think dial #2 should have the same chapter ring with teeth, and what can change is the dial underneath that is brushed steel could be swapped for white lume or carbon fiber or something, and that would be dial #2. then the 2 Megalodons are from the same series and share a look.... like the sea devil family. I have been creating dial options for others and I think it is ok to explore ideas, the good ones can be used in the future I would think, but I do agree about keeping these 2 dials similar to the original Megalodon concept. Just my thoughts as a designer, like Stef, I am also a professional graphic designer, graduated back in 1999 with a BFA in Graphic Design from KSU.

sounds like this may get back on track. It would be nice to get some comment from Ralf. I think the original concept and design, with variations in hands, dial colors, and bezel options is the way to go. hand6.gif Awesome thread though. :D Last edited on Sat Apr 4th, 2009 06:39 pm by watchu2 |
