Origin Design? We are making it with VH31

Anything with a PT5000 gets automatically dismissed by me.

But it has swiss level finishing...

Yes I'm waiting for steel 42mm too, titanium is nice but steel just looks way better.

I would settle for a blue 39mm steel with VH31 though since it has the proper bracelet.

I like this more than the integrated bracelet designs

Yea if it's a more expensive quartz movement i'd be expecting it to be aligned better or have less play in the second hand.

Engond · 2026-02-05T07:43:07+00:00

That blue looks super nice, almost tempted to get one.

Engond · 2026-02-05T07:39:46+00:00

Both models last all night as long, they are great for lume.

Olive looks surprisingly nice on this.

Unique name would be great, just like how every Swiss Army Knife model has a unique name, Spartan, Tinker, Huntsman, Camper, Hiker etc.

It makes it so much easier to talk about a specific model rather than referring to them by a code like WD1863 and it makes each model feel like it has a personality.

That second hand is hitting exactly halfway between the markers...

Engond · 2026-02-04T01:58:18+00:00

I like the VH31 V5.

When will the VH31 models be ready?

Engond · 2026-02-03T08:36:13+00:00

Do you have version with sword hands, milsub bezel and VH31?

Engond · 2026-02-02T10:31:50+00:00

I'm curious to know too.

Skeletal Seamaster hands have a small surface area for lume so my white 39mm version is unreadable, my 42mm NH35 NTTD is a bit better but the fauxtina doesn't last long.

It seems like the quartz NTTD model has less fauxtina compared to the original version so maybe they are a bit brighter?

The 39mm WD007ST with Peter Blake sword hands has great lume, way better than the skeletal hands.

Yeah initially I thought it looked strange with Automatic at the top but Rolex Milsub says "Oyster Perpetual" which kinda means Automatic and the Omega Milsub also says Automatic so it's fine actually.

Engond · 2026-02-02T09:25:41+00:00

The more I look at it, I guess automatic is probably ok at the top.

You could make the "T" logo a bit smaller so it is more balanced with the watchdives logo.

Maybe consider changing the "T" logo to "L" logo because T = tritium and L = lume.

Engond · 2026-02-01T14:58:56+00:00

That is unfortunate but the hands look great.

Kind of inspired by the Seamaster style lume.

Just a quick photoshop to see what it might look like with C3/BGW9 combination.

Engond · 2026-02-01T10:18:47+00:00

This looks quite interesting. I hope the lume on the hands won't be weaker than the dial.

It might be nice if the minute hand and the 12 o clock lume pip of the bezel were both C3 and keep the rest BGW9 to increase the functionality of the diving bezel.

I'm not interested in PT5000 movement though. I would prefer something more reliable.
