OK, all is not final... we can vote on PVD vs. Matte Steel and I will check with Ralf about it.

The vote should only be from people who are serious about purchasing the watch, not just someones opinion that is going to affect the outcome of the real customers and they don't even purchase... make sense? so if there is 9 votes, those 9 should be serious and not just tossing in an opinion.

I'm afraid you've lost me with the black hands and PVD bits. I think matte steel would look MUCH better. Black hands on a black or brown dial makes no sense to me.

The color is subjective, and it is very hard to please everyone, but black hands on black dials, or brown dials is nothing new, or strange. I just installed black hands on a black dial Sea Devil, and they look great. I also installed black hands on my BRG moray and it also looks great.

Here are some examples

brown dial and black hands:

and a black dial with black hands:

and this one is good too, kind of gun metal with black hands:

Thanks for those excellent examples of Black Hands Steve!! (and I have to admit the Black Hands look great on your BRG Moray too!!! thumbsup.gif

Seeing the Black hands side-by-side with the Matte Silver hands that you put up above also makes me like the Black Hands more for this piece...just seems like it is going to tie in well with the overall Bronze case that will gather that nice patina over time.

Those pics really helped!!  Thanks!!

I like the PVD caseback and crown idea. Black hands are good to...I'm wearing my PAM111 today and it looks good to me!

My vote is for black hands, PVD coating on the steel components. I'll order a black dial.

I don't think you can really go wrong with either one, and I'll be happy with whatever the final decision is.  Picking a dial color is going to be hard enough!

i would definitely like to see the black hands. I have black hands on my 1km and i love the way they blend to the dial. since the jewel of this piece is going to be the bronze case, i think the black hands work better not to draw attention away from the case color.
I would be in for one of these in the black or blue dial (usually i am a black dial guy, but the blue has sort of caught my eye... unless of course somehow you decide to do a dark green dial... that would look stunning in contrast with the bronze)

I have been a bit busy with the Remora, but Ralf and I have been talking about the Morays every day, the bronze case and the steel case version.

I was also contacted by a number of people, they all told me they would prefer the black details with the bronze case. One of them was 3T wis MACBRAD who previously owned a bronze diver and said the black would look the best.

For the steel version, we will have the polished hands and an optional orange minute hand for the black and blue dials, I will be showing these steel designs soon, but for now I want to get the bronze going so we can make a few of them.

I noticed the other day that my Katana from Japan has bronze bits next to black bits and I really like the way it looks. I remember when I first got the sword and the bronze/copper bits were very shiny and I didn't like them as much as I do now that they are tarnished or have patina. I think the same for the watch, when it is new it will look shiny and the black crown and caseback will contrast with the shiny new case, but after a few weeks, the bronze will settle in and the black will compliment the tones very well.
