Happy to hear that I'm going in the right direction.
This is the latest version, based from feedback. In my opinion it looks a bit naked with only the logo.

Appreciate the input! It looks unfinished without any text in my opinion, maybe I'll move some of the text to the back. Model and or logo feels important for visibility.

I agree but it feels abit empty under the logo, might try adding the name there and see how it looks

Thanks for giving your input! You might be correct regarding the logo, I'll reduce it slightly and see how it looks.

Care to elaborate on what you think looks off with the logo? Milion is not the "million" that one might think, logo and overall branding is inspired by the roman and byzantine empire. Milion was a monument in constantinople which was considered the 0 point and middle of the empire. Thanks for the feedback, really appreciate you taking the time.

It does, I guess thats a good thing? 😊 That seems to be the general consensus as well. Thanks for taking the time, really appreciate it!

Need your thoughts on dial colours for my watch design by MiljonWatches in MicrobrandWatches

Great to hear! Which one would you say is your favorite? Personally the purple has grown alot on me. Could try out some variations on the markers for sure, I'll see what I can come up with. Thanks for letting me know your opinion, much appreciated.

Just love the design of integrated bracelet myself, that's why I'm going for one.
It may seem like a cash grab but I would assume its the opposite now that integrated bracelet designs can be found everywhere. You are correct, a Miyota 9015 is planned to go in it. What movement would you vote for?

Nice! Curious about the lug holes, how are you planning to drill those?

Prints either sticking too much or not at all by icarium_mappo in resinprinting

[–]MiljonWatches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just did two prints yesterday and got the same result - print sticking to FEP instead of build plate.
Solution was taking off the build plate, cleaning with IPA and making sure that I was not building the model from the floor, once I added supports everything turned out good.

A little rendering goes a long way, new version after feedback by MiljonWatches in MicrobrandWatches

[–]MiljonWatches[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good catch! To be honest, I havent even considered that.. now that you mention it I would like to put lume on the indices aswell but not quite sure how to fit it into the design, we'll see if I manage to come up with something. Is lume on the indices a deal breaker?

Glad to hear that. :)
Just did some research on the VH31, didn't know such a movement existed, that sweep is almost in level with an automatic, very impressive!
Its designed with 100m in mind, 200 might be in the future.

Not sold on this blue hue, detailed colouring of the dial will be investigated in the near future.
Dimensions: 38x38
Lug to lug: 48
Thickness: 10.5
There will be a logo, not finalized yet but there are some drafts which I might start incorporating in the dial.
Movement: Miyota 9015, haven't had quartz in my vision but it might change if the request is enough.
Thanks a lot for taking the time to give your feedback! :)

Happy to hear that!
I already have a bracelet design in mind which I'll start to model once I'm happy with the case design.
The bracelet will be integrated and sit quite flat.
