well welcome again nice looking watch but think I said that before any other models yet or just the one to start and also cool to have a uk maker seen nice one's before but hard when when not in the uk some time with costs and what not (thinking del vat customs etc etc etc )
well we got a member from the uk whose got a few designs maybe have a chat and see what happens that is if looking for design ideas chicos your man helped with the IWL nato and the IWL watch and is working on a diver two crown with tomas at the minute so just an idea that is
so hope you have fun here

Just when I think I can properly read the IsMy language, you drop a couple of sentences like this on me.

Thank you and always keen to see or discuss design with anyone who has ideas and thoughts.
Just the one model at the moment as it cost me slightly more than a new V12 Aston to develop, which made my wife spit the dummy a little. I have however been working on the case for a potential future model, which has some quite advanced engineering to allow very high water depths with completely flat front and rear sapphire crystals. Flat sapphire rather than domed mineral glass for reduced reflection and refraction, and to keep overall thickness same as current model. Using the tricks I've acquired from a lifetime of subsea engineering. Going to cost 2 x Aston's to get into production so it's a long way off, unless anyone fancies investing! (that's not advertising is it? If it is let me know and I'll delete)

wow sounds cool and costly but love to see a demo when in production be cool if some one from here could back ya ..but not sure we are that big yet to have the people but who knows down the line... we managed to do a nato and a forum watch with in the first 20 months or so of becoming a forum .. so might be members looking for some thing like this maybe ? we got a few members who are taking on projects like this which is really great to see
so all things possible in all possible worlds ...
so you going the route of paying for it yourself ouch that is a love indeed for a design but worth it by the look of the watch so hope it goes well
