I would see the same case with a different bezel...
I had the idea of a slightly thicker and roundish bezel with circular cuts inside it: Like 5mm diameter half spheres cuted at 45 grades orientation of the bezel side, all around it offcourse (It would be a fantastic grip on that). And a similar sandwich dial with circular markers. It would remember the tentacles and suction cups of a giant squid and could be named Kraken or something like that;)

I agree, William.hand6.gif I think I know what you mean on the  half spheres but maybe the suction cups would be a good application to the case itself. It would be hard to mill at small limited release voulmes but would be a good disguise for bumps and dings our watches get. Bezel side? Ok too and might be a better location than the case. hand6.gif


I thought about the half-spheres cuts in the case but it would weaken the thickness... Still, some double circular and thin ingravings could draw some great cups and disguise bumps and dings;)
