··Nowhere near as grumpy as he used to be...We wouldn’t do one, I wouldn’t buy it and that says it all really.
If somehow they offered us the opportunity to have input in a watch we know what we would ask for but it has nothing to do with OF and wouldn’t mention it anywhere.
Not the Globemaster, but something that really nails it... Grey Soliel dial, either no date, or day/date at 3. Maybe a C case, but a new case style I would guess is not part of the plan.

Togri v. 2.0
··Wow! Custom title... coolI have actually been working on and off on a watch concept (let’s call it that) for a couple of minutes.
The watch world is full of Kickstarter start-ups most of which are nothing special and just consist og “catalogue parts” put together. This however will be different.
This is the latest iteration. I haven’t decided on a movement yet but have decided the number of jewels. The water resistance is also pretty much settled on as this will be a true diver.
I am particularly proud of the dual crown system, which I think is a first ever: one for winding the watch (right) and one for unwinding it (left).
Strap is just generic at this point.
What do you think?

··Nowhere near as grumpy as he used to be...OK so after some thought....
These are the design inspirations...
So the problem is now the size.. I would say into the 36-38mm range...
Turns out Omega already pretty much has this watch...
So bear with me on this...
This is a 38mm watch. Now if we pull the eagle claw bezel from it, and replace it with a coin edge bezel it should shrink the watch down to 36mm or so and give it almost a c-case visually while retaining a modern look.
then go with a pie pan dial and semi-integrated leather strap or perhaps a drill through case(there should be room) It's not a huge re-manufacturing or tooling to do this for say 1k watches. I am sure that the 143 men's constellation options do not see more than 1,000 of some of the variations...
personally, I would like to see one of these 2 straps....

Yes! That's awesome, great effort! Could actually be a good way to finally identify what that logo is - just stamp it on a few thousand OF watches and send them out into the world

··"I cut it TWICE and it's still short!"This was out of the box thinking in my case. As soon as i saw it, it made sense.
In the spirit of brainstorming, what about adding twisted lugs ala 105.012?
EDIT: maybe too much of a "committee" watch with the lugs... love the connie id though.

··@ ΩFAs this is all purely hypothetical - surely a black faced date at 6 pie-pan ?
