Seriously? Can you show me a second set of hands that look this close to what I've drawn for the Huldra?
Flieger or ploprof hands are pretty much stock and used every where but as far as I can tell the Huldra handset is/was unique because I designed them unless there's something out there that is 99% the same that I'm unaware of.

I must be missing something. Checkout bring me direct to paypal and I don't see additional option. Am I missing a step?

Sorry for the typos..am using auto correction.

Good design and everyone loves the 6105.. so in that aspect you should do well.. i just have a small suggestion. You might want to work on the pictures of the prototype on your site. All pictures have a golden tinge to them. I am not a professional photographer.. this b is just my opinion. Good luck with your initiative.

I apologize for my scrutiny, but the closeup pictures of the dial show some very sloppy lume application in some areas, and rough edges on the marker surrounds. Also, the hands seem to have rough finish in certain closeups. Is there any explanation for this? Can we expect better on the final version? The watch design and concept is appealing to me, and well executed, but I am hesitant to pre-order based on the rough markers and lume... it pushes me to wait until final produciton and some customer reviews and wristshots. Does anybody see teh same thing I do? P.S. much respect to Athaya Vintage and all other indie micros out there who can turn their vision and passion into a reality -
