2011 WUS Chinese Moonphase SE Project - DESIGN

[Oilers Fan]

I am beginning to realize that this project might not be for me. The hands, dial color, and markers that are being suggested do nothing for me. I was hoping this would be a project watch I would wear, but it is quickly heading in the wrong direction for me. I guess I will wait and see the final outcome.

yup id agree 42mm is too large for a dress watch ( at least for me )

38-40mm would be more like it ..

guilloche dial would be great , i dont think id like breguet hands on this watch

Yes, it sounds like you're against all the design decisions so far, except for the guilloche dial. This may not be the right watch for you.

Well he's not the only one with those concerns. Several people prefer smaller case size and there are quite a few that are against breguet hands.
I'm in the same boat but I'll decide once I see the end product :). It might change my mind.

Please give your views on dial colour and whether or not guilloche should be used (and if so what type of pattern). A vote on this will be posted ASAP. I personally like the white dial with sunburst guilloche on linsook's design

Another fan of Linsooks design. I think this dial works best in off-white (cream) or silver, with guilloche sunburst centered in the moon. Seems we're reproducing CNMark's prototype. Markers: just a single applied red Chinese symbol at 12 o'clock and batons elsewhere

I realize that not everyone likes the direction the design is taking (risk of design by committee) but I like it a lot. I feel sorry for those who don't and can relate as I had the same unfortunate experience earlier in the year on the Laco forum - although that project seems stillborn.

I agree, RonB, I feel sorry for the folks it is not working out for. But being a group design, we all cannot have what we want. There has to be compromise. And for some, the compromises may be to much.

need a new poll on hands

Kid you are always ahead of the game...lol.

We are playing around with the idea of adding the WUS logo to the crown, but not sure if it is economically viable. I will check with Thomas when I meet him.

Just found an interesting post on the Affordable Forum for a Spanish forum's custom design diver. Interestingly, they put the forum logo on the crown...I thought that was a great approach.....

You, Sir, have far greater computer skills than I have Very well done, chapeau! Thank you very much for all your help, effort and hard work visualizing the things we are discussing here. Very helpful indeed.

Linsook, can you please increase the overall width of the breguet hands by 30%? The other hand styles are much wider in proportion and human nature will likely lead to the majority in a poll to reject the breguet hand style as an outlier. Please try to put the hands into some proportional display.

updated. probably have to find some stock pictures with bruguet-style hands that are thicker overall but, from what i've seen so far, they are quite thin.

edit: amended the upper post with additional pic thicker bruguet.
