Next Raven, 40 or 42mm?

[Jamie_S]

40mm with 20mm lugs would be nice!

FB challenged...is their such a thing? if you can properly tie your shoes and make yourself toast in the morning you can navigate facebook...oh and 42mm 22mm drilled lugs and some dome for sure

Just because someone can do something does not mean they wish to. I can talk fine with people face to face, am not trying to lure children into my van and have no reason to join a website that makes money from selling my information.

I you like it fine. It is not like it is something that takes an intellectual to use or like.

I am starting to think about branching these into 2 different Raven models. The vintage at 40mm with modifications to the bracelet, end link, drilled lug holes and other adjustments... and the Raven 42mm case becoming a "Raven Deep" version with higher pressure rating, domed sapphire, HRV, bracelet and end link modifications, PVD option.

That, sir, is genius. I will take one of each.

As a side note, I very much appreciate you taking the time to ask these questions. I think you came extremely close in your last release, so much that I continually checked back on the site and hovered over the "order" button. Your idea above is perfect.

The only thing I would add is drilled lugs on the Raven Deep as well. The just make bracelet changes that much easier, plus if I want to be ultra secure, I can use shoulder less spring bars with my NATO or Zulu strap and get the out again without cutting them.

Steve,

I think that is an amazing idea. I would take it a step further though. Go 40mm and 44mm. 40mm, 200m depth, 44mm, 500m depth.

And I think if the dial was like the Armida A2 with the date between 3 and 4, would be optimal. Because it would allow to have 4 really nice big luminous markers along with the 8 dots.

And if you want something really pioneering, do Gilt MOD hands. I have not seen a single watch with them.

And as long as i'm throwing out wishes, could you do a white dial option on the 40mm, but instead of gilt, do black print on the dial, including around the markers, and then like I suggested above, lume in BG W9, that would be sweet...in my opinion.

As I am noob (or is newb) when it comes to this kind of stuff, generally how long is the production time from design to completion (ready for sale)?

Well, if it were mkii, a year or two....with these guys....not so much

Since the poll has been set up, might as well give the wish list:
40mm; drilled lugs, no date option, domed saphire, keep the gilt dial/ hands, maybe outline the hour markers with gilt as well.

Ditto! Especially the sapphire. The only thing keeping me from buying the current Raven is the acrylic crystal. A milsub type watch would be awesome too.

Drilled lugs would be sweet for both sizes hold the sapphire and stay with the plastic too!
