all I have to say is; This has been a very enlightening thread.... some great exchanges here, and some real watch knowledge being displayed buy 3T, Oscar and Will. I would give great credit to Ben of Tempest to come on 3T to defend his product and he obviously show great passion for what he is doing, and I think it will come through in his product.

As for his design, I do like it very much. the case design as Stew pointed out does have similarities to others, but when you see the profile, it has some very unique curves and the dial and bezel look fantastic. But I have to agree on the price being steep for an HK watch, even though you are using Swiss assembly, it is and will be an Asian built watch.
There are many, as stated, like Deep Blue that are making similar and cheaper versions, Deep blue just released a 3000m Wr with a sapphire bezel for around $660.00 .
I also really like the Kalmer, design, and had seen them before, but fell off my radar, (quickly distracted by all the new watches) and have a new interest again in them as the price is right, especially for a Ti design, and alot of custom offerings..

Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing your finished product.
