IF we can get Tritium indices, then yes, the Superluminova would go away.
However, if Tritium indices adds too much to the cost, then Superluminova indices might be a cheaper alternative. Some lume on the bezel (besides the Trit Pip) might look quite fetching as well.
I saw a mfr that somehow put Superluminova on the crown logo…very cool! Hmm…a Trit embedded into the crown would be amazing! I’ll add it to the list of possible options!
I saw that too. I believe it was Zelos. Very cool, but unnecessary I suppose. If we could get a T100 trit watch, as opposed to T25, that would be the bees knees, as they say. I know you can’t have it all at a budget price too, but hey, it doesn’t hurt to dream.
I don’t particularly care for that as well. I’m sure is was just a coincidence that it looks like the Omega logo tho…lol. However, if we were able to reach the MOQ, then we get to choose the logo. If we don’t, then there is always the ‘Sharpie’ option 
Yes, a lot of nice watches can be bought in this range, but below that, not a whole lot exists with the kind of features we are talking about. Oh…I’m sure you can find something that is packed with features for less, but not a watch that we can custom design in the small quantities we are talking about. The plan, as you have described, is to also post this info on CPF and TFF as well. Additionally, I will be hitting up some of the watch forums as well.
Would a black diver be something people would entertain ?
I’d love one like that:
They look cool, but a decent PVD coating will add to the cost, and a bad coating will show scratches right away, just things to consider.
I’d be interested. Have voted.
On a side note, I love this colour scheme. Where can I get this from today, anyone know?
True Kronos
A jam feature packed watch can be a gem
Hope you pull this off 
Almost ashamed to say my $10-12 skeleton watch I bought from Deal extreme before they started using DX is now my most weared watch
I like it, responses are good.
I got a second watch I keep running in case I want to use it.
My wife had it made by a jeweler, it has a blue dial matching a lapis lazuli seal ring I gave her that in turn matches the ring with my family crest seen on a darker stone through lapis
(Like this but our crest it different just for the idea:
)
She won’t tell me how much she paid for it but I know the jeweler and all is in the several Ks stock.
For me a watch is like jewellery not a tool. I gladly bang the heck out of a “Browning” knife working but when it comes to dressing up it is either no brand or a real brand (hence the hating on a Omega logo ripoff 
) but I must say I prefer no branding at all, it feels like being a walking advertisement.
A special branding for a groupbuy ia OK though.
(And funny story a friend who collects watches and has them insured because of their value now has ordered several skeleton China watches lol every time we went out people commented on my cheapie where his real Rolex/Chopard and what else didn’t get a second glance
He told me recently he now wears a skeleton mechanical watch with gold inner playing to board meetings and get compliments. ROFLOL, he was so frustrated before now happy

They look nice and all. However I am more than pleased with my cheap ($25 in 2011) Timex Indiglo. I just replaced the battery a few months ago, for the first time.
I still have a Seiko (in a drawer) I used to wear all the time. For some reason I kept cracking crystals. Haven’t had that happen with my cheapy.
But those examples look very nice. I won’t buy one though. However, I will likely put the dollars into f’lights. :money_mouth_face:
+1 on JamesB post. I would pay for one of those . I swear by my Orient watches. I just don’t see how big names can charge whatever for a watch. I was looking at a TAG but really?- it’s stainless with a rubber band for almost 3K. That’s bs but people buy them just for the name I guess.
If I ever did spend big money on a watch it would be the Omega Speedmaster. Like the one that NASA chose to go to the moon.
Edit: I’ll take one of that first pic with the tritium. Looks nice. Auto wind please.
I love that seiko design and would it better for it to be at 47mm instead of 44mm?
It is possible, but brushed/polished SS might appeal to more people. Nevertheless, that black Seiko looks mighty nice!
47mm? That is a bit large and people would drop out in droves, I’m afraid.
I have two Orients…a Pepsi Mako and a vintage SK…and you are correct, they are fantastic watches.
At this point there are two choices…both of them quartz.
I like the Pepsi and the yellow one, but I’m not keen on those ribbon bands. And unlike Sir The Miller (anyone with a seal ring obviously has a ‘Sir’ title) I want as much tritium on those suckers as possible. If you can trit those bad boys out I’m in for 2.
The seiko homage would be able to accommodate 3rd party modding parts right? Like bezel and case back changes?
I see why 47mm would be too large. But shouldn’t a ‘diving’ watch be large?
42mm is actually a great size, and 44mm is okay too. 47mm is too large. My opinion, of course.
I completely agree about Orients guys. They are worth way more than what they cost, which is not common. I love all of mine.
I voted custom but that is a lot harder to achieve. I also don’t know what end result will be. And I prefer trits since I have a few watches with great lume already.
Quartz is fine. I used to be all auto but have relearned to appreciate the easy no-fuss quartz.
+1, whatever the watch (provided no more than 44/45mm), if they are full of tritium i’m in.
Looks like HYDRO gets you 40% off.
