doubt is possible bro, might incur a higher cost to the existing pricing as Obris Morgan has to create a new mold for the case and it will not be cheap,haha

[size=150]An Update[/size]



There's a minor issue on the MOQ now.



We have to have at least 50pcs now in order to get a good price per watch, which is 279usd each (about S$370) excluding shipping.



Justin is still giving us this price despite us having a fully customised sandwich dial with date at 6, which he has to get his supplier to make a new mold just for us & a full customised caseback but the catch is, a MOQ of 50pcs.



We are almost at 35pcs and to hit 50pcs in our forum, it can be challenging.



[size=150][color=#40BF00]279usd per watch[/color][/size], is a fair price imo, having a fully customised sandwich dial, bezel insert & caseback. If anyone is still on the fence on this watch, based on the price, I think it's high time to consider owning an exclusive Proj watch ;)



Meanwhile, I will still leave the registration thread open for a while but will set a closing date for it soon.



We hope to aim for 50pcs now.



This Proj watch might stretch for a while so kindly bear with us while we are settling this MOQ thingy ;)

we have not explored to intl market as of yet.



our intention is to keep this model only within Singapore, within SCS itself for its exclusivity.



By opening up to WUS or SCWF, chances are, the MOQ issues will be solved but at the same time, it will not be 'exclusive' to SCS anymore.



but this option will be kept open if we are going to push this project through.

Re: *** Seiko Club Project Watch 2015 - Discussion Thread **
@ Lunarin79, new mold just for us & a full customized case-back with MOQ of 50pcs.

If we hit 50pcs, who have the ownership of the mold? SCS or Justin? will they use the mold for their future market?

Like for example, if we would like to make more of those case-back or let say use back the same design. Can we approach them again as there is existing mold.



The above though just come to my mind; if those are not in SCS consideration, then it ok... ;)

Hitting 50pcs might be challenging but if we don't hit and still foot at 35pcs or slightly more. What is the ordering price and I believe it will be slightly higher or could be more.

Or we just tell them this will be a OEM mold which Justin can use it for their future market if they keen; just like a generic case-back.



With the above suggestion, I believe we might not need to hit 50pcs since it will be are shared mold with them.

or you could ask Justin whether he keen to develop this case-back mold with your or shared design of the case-back?



Hope my chip-in will not cause inconvenience to you.
Re: *** Seiko Club Project Watch 2015 - Discussion Thread **
Alrite, seems like sandwich dial is not an option anymore ;)



'Hello Mason,



I have contacted dial factory this morning.

If it has to do Sandwish dial the cost are crazy high.

Usually, at least need to leave 0.8mm. In Explorer watch case we only leave 0.4mm for dial.

They can't use standard material to do it.



So we only can do thick print. Deeply apologies for this.



And Refer to the mold, we won't re-use any of your parts included dial, bezel and caseback to others.



這是CAICOS的錶盤Thick Print效果, 也可以考慮.

'



so it will be thick print instead for our markers.
Re: *** Seiko Club Project Watch 2015 - Discussion Thread **
The ownership of the process and mold doesn't belong to us since we didn't pay for it, although it's cost in to the watch.



The MOQ for us and for him is also 50, so that's the main milestone for us to cross before the project can start.



I'm not personally communicating with Justin but we can feel that he wants this project to be a success and he's maintaining the same price point despite the amount of customization requested.



So let's shoot for 50. All we ask is patience and commitment of everybody :)

Thick print is fine or go with applied markers? Saw the latest renders, think the dark date wheel looks better?

All of OM watches are in thick print, no applied markers from what I had googled.



I am ok with thick print as the 'depth' will be there.



Applied markers, I believe will adds on the costing :oops:

Nothing to be powerful or influential as I was trying my little effort to make this project watch hit 50pcs marks.

Most of the big effort is done by Lunarin bro as he design & communicated with Justin and back to this forum to update us with latest information.

He should grab the name of powerful & influential in SCS not me...:)

Re: *** Seiko Club Project Watch 2015 - Discussion Thread **
Any idea if a olive green dial and bezel insert can be done?

To me, since this scs watch is going to be uniquely Singapore and most of us had been through the army so that is the reason. Also not many dive watches had olive green.

What do you guys think?

objective opinion: OM's PVD bracelet quality not so strong. Scratches exposed on my first day while shortening the bracelet Loh. But the watch case itself is ok. :)

PVD makes me nervous..look what happened to my Golgo Tuna. Plus I took a look at my friend's SINN PVD coated watch, even that showed wear and tear on the case and the bracelet was totally toasted with many areas showing bare steel...and he's a office bound guy that doesn't put his watches through much.

olive green dial might incur more $$$. I think the reason why blue is chosen because OM has already blue dials in their existing designs...& it's a more unique choice as oppose to black.



Correct me if I'm inaccurate?

Folks, any chance to revisit the word "automatic" on the dial? The only one liner indicating the depth is not really working for me.

I think olive green is more suited if it's a military themed watch.

Looks out of place on a diver I feel.

Ok, discussion on the 'Automatic' word on dial.



With or without?



Current one-liner; 200m/656ft



Or



Automatic

200m/656ft



Or



Mechanical

200m/656ft
Re: *** Seiko Club Project Watch 2015 - Discussion Thread **
Mechanical

200/656ft for me. Sorry for agreeing to the one liner too easily earlier.
Re: *** Seiko Club Project Watch 2015 - Discussion Thread **
Mechanical
Re: *** Seiko Club Project Watch 2015 - Discussion Thread **
Logically mechanical referred to manual wind so to call automatic mechanical is politically incorrect.
Re: *** Seiko Club Project Watch 2015 - Discussion Thread **
I prefer just 200M. Put the automatic on caseback.
