Rojakman - hmm,we'll discuss payment at a later stage. Haha



Watchlooker - having the min markers is still ok, reading time at a glance will be easier but is a gd suggestion bro :mrgreen:

No problem, lunarin79.

One question, the merlion caseback are you sure it will not infringe copyright? I find it do not match with the scs watch as a whole.

I don't think it will be an issue using merlion theme.



we will improvise further on the design, it might just look like a lion's head instead :)



Icons of Singapore, I can only think of merlion or orchid, haha



unless we look at it as a diver watch, linking it with sea mammals like other microbrand does on their caseback?

Interesting discussion. Thanks to CEO for updating me on this.



Dial is fine with me. Thots - Logo in red/orange to match markers?

Hands - no changes

Case - consider pvd? The pics of the explorer in pvd looks good

caseback - how about the logo from Thundercats? hahaha (half serious actually)

got a PVD explorer, the PVD work on the watch case is good but can't say the same for bracelet. It scratches easily...



As for thunder cats logo... I'm no fuss, as long as it's not Garfield or Tom (from Tom & Jerry) or Felix. :)

Re: *** Seiko Club Project Watch 2015 - Discussion Thread **
CEO, may I suggest that no LE numbers be put on the watch simply cuz everyone will (ok not all but a good majority) want to book this and that and instead, go with just 1 of 50 on the back. 01/50 for all. or a simple 50/50 or LE 50. This will help the whole process too. That's what I see IWC doing and to me works better than having individual numbers as people buy the forum watch anyway. Just my take.

Re: *** Seiko Club Project Watch 2015 - Discussion Thread **
I think unnumbered LE is a good idea too. Fact is this watch won't be reproduced for sale anyway without referencing back to SCS.



The SCS Edition 50. Sounds good. It will be the best if we can hit 65 :)



50 just inline with SG50 for 2015 thou.

Re: *** Seiko Club Project Watch 2015 - Discussion Thread **
Please don't take my 6 "Luck" away.

For me, LE shd come with serial number as it will give them identity.

Without the number, it's just another watch.

Re: *** Seiko Club Project Watch 2015 - Discussion Thread **
Reply from Justin on the lume bezel & the lume on the orange markers.



Hello Mason,



Thank you for your explaination.

Sure, it's no problem.

Base on the design now,

I have a feedback. The lume use on 3,6,9,12 and the second hand with color mixed will be less bright glow.

Overall is no problem, but I need to communicate with factory and confirm at 4th.

1-3 is public holiday here. So we can discussin coming few days and I can bring the question to factory at 4th.



About the 3,6,9,12 marker, Can you use a photoshop to give me a rough effect photo about index thickness?



And We can't do lumed bezel.



I build a few difference color combo, just for reference.



Cheers =)

I will update his renders on the Render Thread.

Re: *** Seiko Club Project Watch 2015 - Discussion Thread **
this was the original revised design, after looking thru it, I realised the bezel markers thickness is different from hour/min markers thickness.



And it might look weird when bezel is aligned, markers to markers.







So I changed it to a thicker marker, following the hour markers arrow design and I felt it looked better, at least (all) markers all consistent.







what do you guys think?

be an alternative or vice versa? Instead of automatic? Thicker markers are a good idea.

Re: *** Seiko Club Project Watch 2015 - Discussion Thread **
I kinda fancy this colour combi.

A Cousteau feel to it, so to speak.



Yup I do second bro Cosmo opinion on having depth rating instead of automatic.
