    Well there are many Panerai homages but with 200 meters water resistance, sapphire glass, displayback of manual movement I don't know many apart from Glycine. All others are 50 meters water resistant at most, they are not pure diver watches.

    Hi Carlos,

    I'm a great fan of manual wind watches, and to have a 200 meters rating would be a bonus. I also like the idea of a bullhead-type layout, since I'm a left-hander and a crown at the top of the case would make it ambidextrous.

    Best regards,

    And for chrono type would you guys prefer manual wind, auto? So far didn't hear much from you about a pilot's watch but would really love producing one.

    Auto would be nice , manual wind chronos outnumber my auto chronos about 2 to 1

    A B-Uhr style would be sweet, with the 60 minute track along the outside of the dial. Or, a 24 hour mil/pilot would be cool. The only real affordable ones are Russian Raketas and I already have one of each style!

    Cheers,

    Though I have to say I really love retro watches as this one here



    In case a bullhead would be in the works would you prefer it with a manual movement, such as the ST19 or an automatic one? Valjoux 7750 (though quite expensive and hard to get) or a Chinese clone such as we use in our current chrono?
    The Chinese clone would be nice, though an ST-19 would be "truer" to the original with 2 subdials even though their functions are different.

    I have the brown dial Seiko, it was a grail of mine

    Cheers,
    Griff

    In what chrono style? An ST19 on a bullhead would look pretty weird due to way dials are placed

    This image was just an example of the ST19 movement and placement of dials, we are not going to do something like this. If you like that watch then go for it, I think they were or still are sponsors at Watchuseek, have a look at their webpage .
