Looking forward to the bracelet design on this one, I like to see a good bracelet in the initial package, the mesh on the World Diver will be a hard act to follow.ThumbsUp02.gif

While i think 42mm is an awesome size, something about the design isn't doing it for me.

Cheers,

it will be a scratch proof ceramic bezel. with a ceramic bezel you can't have lume numbers, only a lume dot that is drilled through the tough ceramic.

Thanks for your feedback, more info would be helpful... are you talking about the case, the black dial, blue dial, C3 dial, or orange design? I welcome constructive criticism on this.

Regards,
Steve

Though I'm not a fan of this type of cushion case design, this is a beautiful watch! This looks super 70's to me! I'm imagining having a drink by the pool at the villa, getting a call from the phone on a tray my butler brought over, and hopping in the Lotus and driving to the dive boat. Wearing this watch.

Personally (although it is my favorite dial color) I would drop the blue dial on this and go for either brushed steel or some kind of warmer color like brown, red, maroon, or orange. Though an orange dial on this may be a little to Doxa-ish. An option with polished case and hands would look great though!

Steve,

I think there are two elements that don't sing to me,
1. the bezel insert - i am not a fan of the "small print"
2. the dot markers on the dial seem a bit cartoonish and don't
   match up with the numerals although i like the "toothy" dial of the pvd-orange

it would be cool to see the inverse of that.. ie orange dial, with black markers...

Cheers,
Q

ok, on a ceramic bezel, the engraving needs to be thin like this, it is hard material to cut into. The hole drilled at 12 will be filled with lume, big and bright. In my opinion too many have a dot (pip) that is too small, I designed it bigger than what I see out there on other watches.

also notice it is the same size as the dots on the dial.

Personally, I am digging the blue. That could be because I do not have a blue dial watch in the stable at this time. There is something amiss but I cannot put my hand on it at the moment. Might be the hands. more pics please.
