    Are movements available? You'd think so, but I wouldn't know where to get one.

    And it may actually be more difficult to make a case for a digital than a mechanical - plastics moulding, button apertures, electrical contacts, crystal setting, printing, etc.

    yes was thinking you would really need a blank made one then modify the look as they seem to produce them for penny's as you can by a digital watch from china for a couple of quid and that's free post ...

    so was thinking more a good to go one that had the colours change and logos changed maybe ..

    but yes thought it might be a lot more so in some ways BUT would it be cheap to produce say then a mechanical ?

    I very much doubt it - the labour costs would be too high.

    You can count me in as well, as long as the design was very unusual. Especially if it was some sort of classic 70's, retro, space-themed, LED. Then I would be there. LCD, not so much, unless it was 'negative' LCD screen like the one Inca Bloc posted.
