    That looks great. Is bronze still a hot item?

    WOW...Night and day difference without the busy bracelet and end links distracting from the nice case design!

    Other has said it, but I will repeat...

    1) Make the "1K" smaller

    2) Think about the end links again

    3) Think about the overly decorated bracelet again

    And lastly, offer a 2nd rubber keeper for those with smaller wrists. Keep it up...can't wait to see an actual prototype!

    It might be a thought to bring the bezel to the case edge.

    Looking good

    I like the case, bezel, dial, hands, chapter ring and the strap looks great. reminds me of a B&R how it flairs out 2-3mm outside of the lug opening....Please use Italian rubber..no silicon.

    MHO....

    1K ...50% smaller
    Lume numbers on bezel

    It's hard to tell in the renderings...it looks like "feet" in the corners, behind the lugs? .....anyway the case back should be flush with the "feet" :)

    You're not going to make everyone happy.....but I like where this design is heading

    Cheers
