I just realize that looking back at my suggestion, and Astro's hot reply... i find that the SRP229 or SRP231 diver with shroud seems to fit those 1st yr anniversary strap well...

For those whose strap have some minor hints of RED, the dial of SRP229 together with RED seconds hand as well as gold framed minutes and hours hand... seems to blend well...





For those like me, who have the SC65 embroidered with gold thread, the dial of SRP231 and plated GOLD seconds hand as well as Gold framed minutes and hours hand... seems to blend well as well...





On the 2 models above, it seems that the only change that needs to make will be on the hands and dial? The chapter ring an be left untempered together with the bezel?

Use this model, change the dial, keep the chapter ring and hands . Design a Sg seiko club dial in black and gold fonts.... and BAM!! we have a sg seiko club baby golden tuna!

Re: Interval Of Forum Watch & Next Forum Watch Base
i saw the 1st edition and the dial color is unique. would it be good to keep the same color? something like keeping a unique identity.

Model could be Monster or Baby Tuna, but will it be more expensive to maintain the waterproofing of 200m after the change of dials and other mods?

Guys, we have decided to officially kick start Project Watch #2, do continue your support, we will start the official polls now.
Ed.YEO
Re: Project Watch #2 Official Chit Chat Thread
Since we had a rough idea how a forum watch price can be... Maybe we can start the next phase with watch type first? Before deciding on the brands?

Some brands can offer certain watch types as options, some brands can't.



For example, let's say when we talk about dive watches, all 3 major jap brands in the market have enough options for us to choose, with SEIKO taking the lead with widest choice of designs, so as ORIENT, with limited models available through CITIZEN on their mechanical makes.



When we come into dress watch, the most budget one comes from ORIENT BAMBINO, then follows by CITIZEN, last with limited models available from SEIKO...and the rest of the watch types continues with different models or even non that fellow members can think of...

Re: Project Watch #2 Official Chit Chat Thread
Well the rational is we might engage a micro to custom the whole watch but since its a Seiko Club watch, we want to hear from the members if its necessary to be a Seiko watch.



It also limits our choices of type and case too. Still good to hear from the rest.

to add on to roo's point, even if we engage a Micro company(depending on Polling result), high chance it's on a Miyota 82xx movt.

But for the Watch Base, any chance we can also consider adding the SRP series of Sardines ?



I understand Harold (Yobokies) is working on custom Bezels for the SRP as well.



With Harold's SS Shroud, custom Dial/Hands..and maybe even a custom Bezel...it's be a cool Forum-specific Tuna :D



Who knows, maybe end up with a custom sardine like this... ;)

In theory we all want the nicest looking piece. Frankly, if the overall acceptable budget is not agreed upon, might as well throw all the ideas(no matter how good) out the window. You would just be setting yourselves up for disappointment & committee will be blame behind their backs if things get bad.



EXAMPLE: The SRP series watch is easily S$300, maybe a slightly better price if bought in bulk. The shroud is USD$88 (S$110-120 depending on exchange rates est. And Yobokies I doubt will have any discount knowing him before having any issues with the fitting) The dial and hands would be easily another S$30-50? Custom dial S$50-80. even if ask ah goh to do, cheap cheap -$20-30 to fix each watch. How much are we looking at already? And if we don't buy the watch than it won't even be the SCS forum watch and the shroud will be useless. The big question is how many of you will now sign up to foot S$515 (estimated) for the watch above?



The above is my opinion and having participated in a no. of forum watch projects, one sees all the true colors of the members giving all kinds of suggestions without much thought to whether it is in reality feasible. And this is why I salute Seiko Siao for even thinking about taking on this 2nd project (Kudos to the 1st committee for their hard work) because they don't make 1 cent from it but have to stomach all the BS. :roll:

Thanks for the Compliments Guys, when the wallet is too weak to make all my mod ideas a reality, I find doing a Photo"Chop" version kind of eases the pain :mrgreen:



Definitely willing to help with any Photo"Chop" work that might be needed for the design of the next Forum watch :D



I do agree with Cosmograph, the final pricing of the watch will be a major factor to most Members (me included). A Forum Tuna was wishfull thinking on my part :D

Re: Project Watch #2 Official Chit Chat Thread
Honestly i have no ideas what happened in the last discussion on the forum watch. But blaming anyone for that matter is just unwarranted.



I agree on setting a budget and we can work within the said budget.



Another pointer would be the sincere contribution of the members, i mean if you are clueless like me. I would let the ones who knows what they are talking about take the lead. No finger pointing on the resultant outcome since you are the one who willingly participated in the project, again no one forced us to participate or even part with your hard earned money to buy anything.



No need to blame any individual on any delays or make unnecessary comments that does not positively contribute to the good will and good intentioned discussion that most want to be involved in.



I believe everyone here is contributing only because we like being in the company of the everyone here. For me....having participated in any forum watch discussion would give me some sense of satisfaction to the Final Outcome. Meeting new people and forging new ties....

Re: Project Watch #2 Official Chit Chat Thread
just some clarifications, there were 'no finger pointing' or 'people blaming' from the first watch.



it's just that different people view things differently, different strokes for different folks, simple.



To design a Club watch which matches to a universal liking, definitely not possible but we'll try to at least, design one which is acceptable to most people but of course, views/likes/dislikes comment, they're all welcome.

ah.... a case of cannot make everyone happy....



The First Watch turn out very tastfully.... with the experience gathered from previous project, the brothers involved would know what to continue to do and what to avoid to steer the planning in the correct direction!!



To all.... i salute you!! I will contribute what little i can with the planning process.
