Next Raven, 40 or 42mm?

[petersenjp]

The Raven is a totally classic looking watch. All I ask is, please please please don't add any more size to it!!!

I Love the way the Vintage Raven looks now, keep everything the same, but by adding drilled lugs, gold gilt around the markers, make the triangle marker match the depth rating text on the dial which is red, maybe a exhibition (see-through) caseback with the Raven Logo on the Rotor? I still like the closed caseback, just an idea.

And I didn't say it needed a lume pip, I said I'd like it... Want it...
Let's be honest we dont need any of those features most of the time anyways...
Heck I don't need a watch, I got a clock on my car, time on my PC on my phone, microwave....
I just want one

Wasn't the original 5513/6538 37mm. The Kingston is 39mm, correct? Ideally, I would love to see a 40 or 40.5 mm Raven. However, I don't think 40mm is a magic number, though others may disagree. I do remember my 40mm subs fitting my small wrist very, very nicely.

The 42mm isn't bad, and it's quite wearable even for smaller wrists.

I should have said, "The at-least-38mm-but-in-any-case-never-greater-than-40.5mm Sub-style watch cannot be improved upon."

Same size as the old, add blue face and snowflake hands.

The blue I would like would look black in almost all situations. Where you would be able to tell it would be in direct sunlight and how it goes with your other clothes. It is a subtle, but big, difference. You may not even notice it on a conscious level but you would notice.

I like the snowflake hands A LOT. If that is the direction that Raven goes I would also go with squared markers to go better with the hands. Then keep the triangle and forget the pip. I think I like that idea.

Snowflake (especially blue) would rock. I course, I'd prefer it on a 40mm watch.

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.

Count me in for one of each!

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.

Remove Bezel lume and add pip.

Thanks for listening.

Remove bezel lume? I oppose this idea, and I oppose you with the last breath in my body.

You can have my bezel lume when you pry it from my cold dead wrist!
