Is it?

For a ST21 -

Well, I'm not sure what the usual process is but since there's so many ideas on the table, I propose that we do a democratic voting system so that our ideas can get streamlined.

I'm getting confused haha.

This thread is just for throwing some ideas around. When the broad options are a bit more clear, we can move the discussion into the Project sub-forum to follow a process similar to the 2011 project.

Isn't it about time for that? :)

I have 1963 and it is one of my best watches. It's really reliable, since the first time i got them i put them on and went to the countryside for a big byob party)
It was a real test for them: rain, sand, a lot of shaking. My 1963 has never stopped. No problems at all.

Thanks for the input! We haven't heard much from 1963 owners.

I really like WUS 2012 to be a chrono based on 1963. If it can be in bigger case- that will be perfect.

I think 42mm is a better size for a chronograph, myself - easier to see the sub-dials.

Thanks! That's the kind of thing I don't know much about.

If we go with a diver or a dress, maybe this is a good movement to look into.

And long-term advertising - getting more people on board.

August - similar to last year, I believe.

Exactly, this is the fun brainstorming part

The 1963 is a nice watch, but IMHO the QC on these could be better. But for the price, I am not complaining. Mine behaves fine except for an annoying misalignment issue when resetting the chrono. It will only center at 12 when I reset the chrono at exactly 5 seconds past 12. Combined with the rather large amount of issues concerning the click of this movement (and I have to admit, winding it doesn't feel nearly as solid as winding a Poljot 3133 for example) I'm a bit reluctant to buy another "cheap" ST19 based chrono. For a rather complicated movement a clean assembly and Q.C. are everything, and for the price we would pay for a chrono I'm not sure we would be getting either.

Bu then again I could be wrong and the chrono may end being a suberb watch. An ST19 based watch would not mean I'm out but since a lot of us already own a 1963 something a bit more original would be nice IMHO.
