Thanks, stolikat. We will need help to get this off the ground.
What is the watch forum you do this action on?
(Gives me a chance to read up on more technical aspects and check our the watch trends a bit)
Thanks!
There are four rep sites and a homage site I am a member of. Here are the links;
They are packed full of valuable info.
Would a solar set up work as a replacement for the automatic movement?
Bump!
And thanks for these links tolikat! A lot of info there, great!
Team Kronos, still would like the link(s) to watch forums you do this on, would be very efficient to see how watch hobbyists aid/comment/advice and ask about this. Thanks :+1:
I’m a hopelessly unfashionable guy that literally never takes of his 80’s-era Casio DataBank, so I’m not much into analogs. But that being said, thanks a lot to Kronological and collaborators, this is a fascinating project that would be an honor to host on BLF.
I’d be all over this if it was solar. Love my Eco-drives. Have one that’s been running since ’99 with no issues.
That being said, I’d probably be in for either an auto or quartz. I’m just stupid that way. :partying_face:
Sb, Casio Databank? Soon to be a digital antique… 
Yessir! It’s actually only a few years old, and they still sell them new online, believe it or not.
I’d be in on the carnival or a smaller cased homage. Trits, 3min bezel color(standard safety stop). My hands/wrists are too small to wear a larger one, it looks like I’m six and wearing one of my fathers watches. This is a 40mm Ti Fossil. 
I have worn watches from Traser with tritium inserts for many years.
Once you try tritium there’s no going back.
I will add that a titanium strap makes a huge difference in weight.
My EDC is an older model of this one which I have now had for at least 12 years.

So, for me, anything tritium plus titanium.
The divers watch is a carbon copy of my Seiko Automatic Divers watch that I bought in 1981. I am still wearing t today.
Very classic styling.

I could be tempted by this group buy. I currently have a G shock GST-W110D-1AER which to me is almost perfect with it rubber strap and steel construction. I have always hankered for a Seiko 5 Divers Watch the SKX007K2 in particular. Something like that with tritium inserts would be hard to ignore. I love the fact that this site comes up with these ideas and offers it’s members a chance to get something designed and watched over by its members. To me, a bespoke watch for $200 is far more interesting than a brand watch that anyone can buy for $500.
The SKX is definitely a classic design. The challenge will be borrowing some classic design elements, without blatantly knocking off Seiko’s iconic looks.
One thing that I can think of that will necessarily change is the shape of the indices. The triangle at twelve, ‘corndog’ markers at 6 & 9, and round indices will most likely change to line shaped indices or some other design. Why? Because of the long, tube shape of tritium vials. That will naturally change the look of the dial, for the better, I believe.
Anyway, we are still early in this process, and the final product will have other nice tweaks as well. 
Is the CAD design underway? I would love to see renditions!

Yes indeed, but there are some vital changes that need to be made first before we release anything.
As this progresses, the final product will probably end up looking more like an amalgam of dive watches rather than a copy/homage of a Seiko, Omega or Rolex, etc.
Anyhow…Thanks for asking
Awesome!
Nice! I always liked the looks of Seiko, Citizen, and Bulova.
The top one looks exactly the same as this’un:

Only 3 reviews, but sounds encouraging!
Looking forward to this! I wear my Shenhua everday now. I must like it. ……….and I thought I got away from wearing watches. Wrong again!
