Shoot now I’m up to 300.50. But seriously nice looking nice idea on your part and I’ve seen similar in the seiko watch mod forums.

Sounds like a fun idea. But make it your design. I am in for 300 gilt.
i have built a few one of watches and the design process is the most fun, besides looking for small watch parts on the wood floor.
Good Luck

I'm cool with $300 max. To me the dial design has to be something unique, specially the surface texture. Bracelet or strap, I'm cool with either one. Logo...maybe a simplified monkey astronaut head in a bulb?

I love it - also agree, you should make the call on design as design-by-committee usually doesn’t end up well.

Oh, and I would prefer a bracelet or at least a case that suits a nice fitted bracelet (I can source the bracelet as long as the case is intended to fit one) as included straps are always too short for me to comfortably use.

Pretty surprised nobody has suggested this as a logo. Or for the caseback? :



Make it a limited production please, not a limited edition.

Put me down for one at 300, but only if it is water resistant to 50m.😉

My logo idea…


I’m probably being a bit (or a lot) slow here but, on the @Duracuir ‘VSVN’ scale, I don’t get what this logo is 😕

And on logos generally, what about a cursive style ‘OF’, like the early Genèves?

You get a 2915 if you can find the answer.📖
Thanks - although I had to look up what a 2915 is 😟

(Okay, I’ll tender my resignation from OF in the morning 🤦)

Committee designing this will/would suck (as an experience for you) and would just result in some ungodly homunculus.

Render up at least two designs and have a voting period. Or just design it and say “Ta dah! Take it or leave it!”

Does @Bill Sohne want to chime in on this case and large wrists?

Hi Phil

36 mm is fine for my 8 inch wrist …keep in mind scaling up some cases don’t work visually …

I find a better dial , thinner numbers …. Maybe a glit style dial ( not printed gold ink … and you will have a high failure rate as what other who have done it told me ).
