^^^^ my honest opinion .. It looks good, but I would rather see something custom as opposed to the isofrane lookalike that every company is seeming to do.

I like it! It looks like a combination of the Sinn Clasp and IsoFrane rubber. You should definitely offer it with the clasp and without (with H2O buckle). Some people find that style of clasp too long.

If we talk about ideas maybe the following is worth a look. :-)

The only suggestion that I would make on the bracelet is to make the openings smaller (not as tall, but the same width). I think that would look nicer.

I like the gray rubber strap and very cool clasp.

I share the same opinion as some other regarding the rubber strap. The first openings are too wide for my taste and should have the same dimensions like the smaller ones with same width but lower height. Maybe all holes shold have the same dimensions. When I made the renderings this was my first thought, but on Sunday asking your engineer to spend another 3 hours for CAD drawings wouldn´t be a great idea. Fortunately he´s also an extreme dive watch enthusiast with sooo many dive watches.

Is your most recent photo post gray dial with gray, gray sapphire bezel onlay and rubber strap and not white dial, white sapphire bezel onlay with white strap?

Hi Gerald,

the last renderings should be white, but the rendering program turns it a little too much into grey color.

Hello Clemens,

Is this "white" watch seriously being considered?  :l

 

Regards,

Gerald

:-) Look a bit girlie, but of course this is seriously considered.

The white, full lumed dial for the ORCA was between the 3 best sold of 17 dials. So if everything fits together, like dial / inlay and bracelet I think it will look way better as on the renderings.

And how ycould you justify better a watch purchase when you have a present for your wife? :-)

I didn´t really like the wide openings on the first rubber idea. I think it looks way better now: :-)

Maybe you´re interested into having a brief look at 16 of our puppies? All cases were sent already to the hardening company and the first batch (CLASSIC/VINTAGE/MONO cases) should return end of this week. Also the two bezel will be ready this week. The Dive and Dress cases will return one week later.

Currently I´m waiting for the bezel inlays, which will be shipped to us on his Friday.

I think in the next week the first watches are ready to be shipped.

At least he gives continuous updates, unlike some.
Good product takes time.
