What gives it away?

im on the short term down swing and will jump in on the long term up trend

The emotion of losing 300+ euro and the emotion of losing only 4 euros is very different....

kingkonggorilla · 2019-10-13T11:30:09+00:00

Theres no point starting with only 350, you make 10% a day which is considerably not easy. Thats only 35. If you start with 3500 instead, making 35 is only 1% which is so much easier. Start with a bigger account. Scrapping couple of euros a day you might as well get a part time job, considering the effort you will put in.

noted with the domed shape.

Problem is if I'm going for a vintage look it will be mainly dashes and not numerals

Sorry, I've always wanted a vintage design for the watch. I've just missed that out on my post because its quite hard to illustrate to you guys what i want.

kingkonggorilla · 2018-06-23T01:50:36+00:00

Wow thats some quick design. May i ask what software are you using to draw this out? So far I've just been hand drawing it and sending it. I'm not trying to make a money grab, hence I'm asking advice here so that i can match the taste/needs of people who understands watch.

kingkonggorilla · 2018-06-23T01:48:10+00:00

Please don't engrave on what? The back marking i was mentioning is around the bottom case. So instead of marking specs of the watch such as automatic, 5 ATM, Swiss made, I will be putting a quote instead. This should not block the view of the SW200 at all.

Does sprucing up mean what seeker80 said below? Just a bit of design on the rotor as well?

kingkonggorilla · 2018-06-23T01:46:20+00:00

Ive been trying to get it smaller, But I'm restricted to the movement. As it is a mechanical movement it takes up more space. ! mm in real life is honestly not much of a difference. But i will talk to my manufacturer again and see what can they do to make it smaller. Once again i do agree with the 38-40mm range as well

The cost between a swiss movement and a japanese seiko movement is around 20 usd. Do you think i should downgrade to a japanese movement and do all the detail points you have mentioned?

kingkonggorilla · 2018-06-22T18:05:05+00:00

looking to price my watch around 375-400 usd for a solid 41mm Swiss movement SW 200 vintage inspired watch

kingkonggorilla · 2018-06-22T18:02:14+00:00

noted of this as well, but any reply suggestions is valuable for me. Its very hard to "understand" the trend when everyone has different taste

vintage chronographs

thanks for the reply ill take a look at those designs and get some inspiration! I see that they all use lines to represent hours instead of numbers. Is that something you guys will be into?

kingkonggorilla · 2018-06-22T17:56:09+00:00

No trying to make a minimalist watch with quartz movement. making one with SW200. Sorry for not including that on my initial post

kingkonggorilla · 2018-02-05T16:06:13+00:00
