I'm thinking about using gold sword hands, These old military watches below used the sword hands, I think for the old MoD specs (Ministry of Defense). I haven't seen any versions out there with gold sword hands and think it would look great.

Also love the gold sword hands part ...looks great. Keep up the good work, and expect great things to come:0)

this one will be 42mm, the raven watches might get up to 44mm for a future model, but I think for a true military style it should not be so big. The Navy SEALS helped JLC design a military watch and they told them to bring it down to 42mm.

42mm is a most resonalble size for most wrist. So that makes since.

Anyway, in case you have a change of heart on the variant size, I'll jump in

I'd personally prefer the Mercedes hands an 42 is bigger than the original 40mm without being too big, a size most can feel comfortable with IMHO. I'm Definitely interested:)

I agree on 42mm but I like the sword hands over the Mercedes. To me, for this type of watch simple and purposeful rather than ornate is the way to go.
