I do not want to replicate other watches,  I will always try to make a own design  with different looks for each model, but that some parts  will show a similarity to other watches I cannot avoid.
My goal is to make attractive , tough, reliable and affordable dive watches for collectors and users, I will try to offer different sizes, for those who want it smaller and also for those who want it bigger but most will be around 44mm.
 Something for real divers and something for office wear.
 I have enough ideas in my mind but I want to see if we are in one line, and I think we are. 

 A taller watch with a lower deep rating is in work.
  The problem for a GMT design is the movement which one?
 A Chrono diver with a Ronda quartz movement would not be a problem.

Seeing as the Sea devil effectively covers the big diver market. A few ideas for other watches

Maybe make a dive watch which isn't as tall so can be worn with office wear...(12-14mm), obvuiously this would have less depth scale

How about a GMT design?

How about a Chronograph diver?

I think in order to develop the brand you should continue making the watches affordable but give sufficient style and individualism to make them attractive. Avoid replicating other brands, and also avoid replicating within your own brand. Thereby giving a varied range.

What you decide depends very much on your own values and vision for this brand.
