Hi Steve - I would definately support Stef's design (Vesion C) being incorporated in this series. My only suggestion would to drop (delete) the use of smaller shark teeth markers inorder to declutter the dial. I would also support the option of a raised stainless steel bezel.

Regards, Jo

Stef's Designs could be a whole new series of their own. They are great and I am sure he could do more designs that are equal or better to be sold in a series.

I guess if enough vote, it could be done in this series, but this Megalodon edition could be completed and kept uniform with just variations of the same concept (Dial #1).

Just my opinion on keeping things together.

Steve

This looks pretty darn good.

I'm not sure about the hands, maybe we could play with the colour, finish, or shape of the hands. Have there been any alternate hand designs suggested for the Megalodon?
This blood red carbon fiber looks great. I do agree with the comment on the hands. Perhaps a little modification on the shape of the minute hand then.

Another thing is the bezel. I'd like to see the bezel that the black part is removed and leave the number and the minute marks stand out from the background. Something similar to the 1st generation of IWC Aquatimer or Ulysse Nardin Maxi Marine Diver, etc.

I really like the red carbon fiber as well. I think it is an apt compliment to the design as well as a tip of the hat to the one that started it all...the Barracuda.

I would also like to see a SS bezel...maybe even a "ghost" or "Steelfish" style with SS bezel, SS chapter ring, & brushed SS dial...

this design could get interesting with different colored hand selections...

maybe even DATE optional...

Would anyone like to have the minute markers for the ten minute increments thicker than all of the other marks? Here is a quick and dirty sketch over the red carbon dial.

I think this might make telling the time a little easier.

Also, what are the top shape of the lume teeth? Are they extruded from the base with a uniform thickness, or will they be more like a curved pillow type lume? Probably more questions for Ralf and the factory.

I am not sure if this is possible with the factory, Ralf will need to answer this. But I have made small changes to the hands to make the curves match the teeth and changed the shape of the lume to match and squared off the lume at the bottom. - steve

Great job on the hand sets Steve! I like the first set from the left for the red dial and the second set from the left for the black dial.hand6.gif
