vlydog Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Love the look of the design sketch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted December 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 If i could find the second sketches it would be better as that was a bit rounder, one point i did not like in this version was the very sharp edges and flat design, My design that i would like to use has a few variations from the simple dive watch as i designed it with military applications in mind.

FxrAndy Posted December 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Well I will have an unbranded sample very early in the new year for you all to see. One think that is really exiting about this project the the quality of the lume in the bezel, from the photos i have seen from the manufacture it is a torch. The bezel insert will be different the the case is now in production in the shape below Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted December 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Sample watch received today, and if you want big, and indestructible this is the baby for you it makes the DeepSea look small. This is in Super Avenger territory, Going to take some pics for you all. I was in two minds whether to have this made but mow i have seen the case in the flesh, it has to be done. Pics soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FxrAndy Posted December 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 A couple of quick shots of the basic watch, unbranded, still to come is my dial design and a special bezel inlay for military apps no photoshop, no long exposure, camera on auto, lights off and shoot you know what the watch above is dont you This is one beast of a watch, the idea of an indestructible watch is realized So is it worth me making 50? I dont know, is it too big for the average person? Maybe would it sell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Looks good Andy I think this would keep my SA very good company. I love these big boys Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 How tall/thick does it measure? Looks to be in Breitling SOSF / SA territory. Love the Bezel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted December 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 This is 16.40 +-.20mm thick, and is a little larger than a SFSO, My wife wears a SFSO every day and tried nicking this off me tonight but as it is a sample i had to talk her into giving it back, If i get this made then she can have number 3 as 1, 2 are already destined for charity. I would love to show you all the bezel and dial design but i have to keep that secret until production starts, The people that have seen it were surprised i found a new bezel application!

panerai153 Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 That baby looks awsome. Would you entertain drilled lugholes simply to facilitate strap/bracelet changes. or screwed in bars? BTW I really, really like the lumed bezel insert This would make a great companion to my Ocean7 LM-7 Proplof. Definitely interested Arthur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clint Eastwood Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 I will be interested for one, what kind of dials and hands you plane to use ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted December 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Hi Guys still wearing this all the way through the holidays and it is big but you get used to it. The hands will be the same as on the sample the dial will change a little as will the bezel to be a 30min count down and 30min elapsed time. I will show some pics as soon as i have worked out how to patent it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted December 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Or PRAETORIAN "Signifer" (German brand BTW) http://www.milwatches.com/product_info.php/language/en/info/p1010_PRAETORIAN--Signifer--Automatik-Diver-mit-Bund-Raptor-Armband.html I tell you what i need to add more of a markup if people are willing to pay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
