    Hello,
    Looks terrific. It is not possible to tell from the picture, please confirm the minute/hour hand positions of the subdial; if the chronograph feature has actually been on for 34 minutes and ~33 seconds, no problems, good positioning. Has it?

    I'm not sure. The samples are at the factory. One will ship here tomorrow.

    Notice that the watch on the left has a brushed/polished finish similar to the Rolex Sub.

    It's hard to see from the pics, but are the sub-dials slightly raised and/or bordered ?
    On leave 'til mid June to finish a degree I hate in order to do something I like.

    Will we have the option for a brush/polished case? I thought only polished cases were being produced.
    Either way, its a great looking watch for sure!

    As a side note, this is a 42mm case, but can you tell me what is the diameter of the crystal? Dial size is important to my aging eyes.

    Thanks,
    Tony

    Looks good. My only suggestion would be extending the chrono hands slightly so they are closer to the register and maybe making them thinner. Also I think the registers would look better with an outer black ring on the chrono registers.



    Similar to this Bell&Ross from a few years back.

    I like both but blue is my favorite. I hope brushed case is available for blue too. I also agree Malyels suggestion about the black ring, dial looks more balanced with that way.

    There is something about the subdials that isnt doing it for me. I dont know if they are too big and giving a crowded look to the dial or the stark white of the subs is too white or the borders or the hands.

    If all the dials have already been produced it is a moot point. But, if not, you may want to reconsider some mods on the subdial geography w dial symmetry and perhaps the shade of white.
