Jeff had been sourcing parts and had the dials made to have better lume, He has been assembling all these watches himself for the last few years. What Ralf and I are going to do is build the watches from the ground up, we will make the cases, components, and assemble them in one place, so all the parts will be engineered at the same time for a perfect fit and build. We will start with the vintage series because Jeff has had a lot of emails and requests for this watch but sourcing parts and assembling takes a long time. So we will take this production to the factory level to get them produced. Below are some pictures of the Vintage Series that Jeff sent me. This is one that Jeff has produced and assembled. I am receiving the actual watch next week, and Ralf will be at the factory next week and will be adding this project to his "to do" list, starting with a case CAD drawing. |

Looking forward to the creations of this combine. Being vintage military, I think the watches will be on the small side. I hope some steroids can be added, if at all possible. |

I hope some steroids can be added, if at all possible. yes, one of my thoughts would be to bring it up to 42mm but I know the traditionalists might not like that so much. But the modern versions of this watch have now made it up to 42mm so I think a vintage in 42mm would be cool. It is something we are thinking about, in the end both versions may be produced. Any feedback on the size is welcome. Last edited on Sun Jun 5th, 2011 06:07 pm by Steve Laughlin |

Strong brand design in the logo. Would look great applied as well as painted. Great work Steve. 42mm non-date would be my choice. |

42mm would make that watch more versatile and could be the median size for the Raven brand. You can always drop to 38 or go up to 44 on future models. Just a thought. |

I'd definitely be up for one in 42 or 44mm with no date option and a red date option. |

All I want for Christmas is a 44mm RAVEN with all the vintage feel but fed with some steroids. This WIS is ready to pay extra. Last edited on Mon Jun 20th, 2011 08:46 pm by bigrustypig |
