Jim - I hear you on the numbers. The teeth (as 3, 6, 8 and 12 hour markers) are so important in the design of this watch, it looks cleaner without the numbers. Is it possible to have one design with numbers and one without, as is the case the Moray?
Regards,
Jo


exactly. this design was a break from tradition, and in my opinion, a break from what might be looked at as classy or dressy. this was a radical, aggressive idea, about teeth and size, and chunky metal. slowly the designs seem to have drifted back to what is not so edgy.

Stef, Your work is good and clean. If you would like to throw in more designs, please do!

I am looking forward to dial #1 in production and think that dial #2 should have similar characteristics and should look like it is part of the Megalodon Family.

Steve

Is this dial #1????, and is it a go on this with a 2nd dial option???? It's getting more and more confusing as it progresses. Another month of this and the whole concept will be lost in the sauce. My dos centavos.

The watches are different, yes...but both would be in the same massive Megalodon case, movement, crown, case back, bracelet, hands, and same choice of bezels. 
Steve's design could be the "MEGALODON" and Stef's the "MEG II"

I believe this is Steve's MEGALODON w/ black dial, and Stef's "MEG II" in khaki w/ numbers on the dial.  I think there may be a third variation with white dial.  Either way or both, these are great designs, and both Steve and Stef deserve a lot of thanks for their awesome work.  Tough choice, but in the end my personal preference goes to Stef, only because I have been trending towards the sports look, and I really think that during the day, I will be able to read the time at a simple glance. You know, real easy to see 5 o'clock time to go home!

 



Note: the watches are supposed to be the same size 47 mm... I am simply copying and pasting from earlier posts.  So remember, the watches are supposed to be the same size.

Dial #1 is absolutley outstanding...Stef's proposed Dial #2, in my opinion, is too far removed from #1 and the entire Megalodon concept.  Stef's are nice to be sure but they are not what I perceive as Megalodon.  My 2 cents. 

This thread should be closed now that the final design of Dial #1 is completed and another thread started for Dial #2.

Thank you Steve, That's your design if I'm not mistaken, and that's the one I want, I couldn't have done Dial#1 better myself, as far as another dial option, I am really not interested in another dial for this watch, It's a perfect match as it sits, Hopefully the hands will be the same as well, I like the the Red  Minute as well and the Red Pointer on the second hand, I am going to sit back on this because it has gotten carried away IMHO. Is the ETA still in there as well? Price still around 5? I appreciate you clarifying this before I just give up and buy another Sumo....DanSteve Laughlin wrote: yes that is Dial #1

I agree.....although the second design is great....it is to far removed from the original concept of the open "jaw" design. The second dial design is worthy of a whole new watch "series". It is too far from the original "Megalodon" vision. I will raise your two cents to four. Or maybe this shark bit down on an oil drum and lost all of its teeth.........what..it could happenBouncy.gif

My sentiments EXACTLY, It's just gotten carried away again, not remotely close to the Megalodon concept of BIG TOOTH. Another thread for additional dials for the megalodon is in order here. HELP OSCAR!!!!!!!!

Guys this thread has been fantastic I have really enjoyed it.  A lot of great ideas have been throw ed out on the table.  That's what makes 3T so special, are vendors are able to put information out and receive in return, with no shackles.  This thread has gained a ton of positive support out in the wis community and that's what we want to do, is support Ralf & Benarus (you rock Ralf). 

Ralf stated he wanted to collect ideas, so thats what were doing, even though the thread is long be patience I'm sure Steve is in the process of creating a new thread, like he stated.  I say we follow what Ralf has instructed and keep posting new ideas.

like Teddy said...this is one of the best threads I can remember in years and all of you have shown just how well a group of WIS can be without any moderation!....when the second Megalodon designs are in I am sure Ralf will start a poll as to which will be the choice so in the meantime enjoy the comradory and awesome concepts that are being offered....confusing at time but nonetheless productive...right now this is the most popular thread about watches on the entire web! ...it's like the old cliffhangers...I can't wait to see what's coming up next!party.gif
