I really like the look of this and a bronze version of the Moray would be a fantastic alternative to a very expensive Anonimo Polluce.
I do have a couple of comments and will also chime in on the "do date" debate. Personally, I would prefer a no-date option. For me, the orientation of the numbers in the image above is very distracting. I much prefer the orientation on the original Moray. But, ideally, would prefer the dial without a date.
The second thing I'd like to bring up are the hands. To me, the silver hands detract from the case. I think that the case should be the focus of this watch and anything that stands out will be to the detriment of the overall design. Black hands might be better. Or, would bronze hands be a possibility to compliment the case?
Finally, I agree on just a black dial. Coloured dials would draw attention from the case. Also, what combinations of bronze case and coloured dial will look good? Over time as the case changes colour?
As an initial design...I like it. Also, to me, the price range is reasonable. A high quality movement (high grade 2824-2 or even a 2892) would add to the overall value.
