What do you guys think of this, do you like it?
Looking to start on this, available in a few dial colors, like a nice periwinkle, and a spectra yellow as well as black, all dials are matte. Brushed lugs and bracelet, brushed bezel, polished sides etched caseback. Its about 38mm on a 20mm bracelet. We will likely go with NH35 with a BGW9 and SL lume using both to get an interesting layout. I dont have a final MSRP but our prices are modest imho. This is our second project the first one only has a few spots left on preorder.
Not completely set in stone, happy to hear thoughts.

Very nice! Just a question, no date window + NH35 = Ghost date right? Could you go with an NH38 instead? If not that's OK I know nothing about building a business so would it take too much of a chunk out of the budget?
The ole ghost pop. So, certainly its possible, and it may boil down to cost for sure. We looked at this project a few ways even quoted with a MIYOTA 9039 but, we really want to get watches on wrists and I find that a sub 250 MSRP really makes it a no-brainer if you like the design. Im glad you like it. The other dials are unique colorways, nice small details and Im excited to show them soon. Last project we ran a purple dial with teal accents and it looked really nice. The value proposition is good, small runs with modest prices. I think we are walking our way to gaining a few more fans for the watch projects as we are mostly known for our production knives, its been exciting.
Im inspired by a lot of things, the previous project was XX121, this watch will be called Sector:LV223. The case back has a quote from David from the film Prometheus "magna res est parva initiis". I was watching Mechagodzilla and thinking of how I would theme and build a watch that took styling cues from the Mechagodzilla suit. I always want people to be able to 1. get a great product that over delivers in its price point 2. Get a great deal 3. Be able to take the project at face value and enjoy it but also if they want to be able to take a deep dive on the process and thoughts behind the product.
I won't buy a watch with a NH35. "Workhorse" my butt. Ugly, cheap and inaccurate is more correct.
To my tastes, the dial design and hands look to be a bit confused.

alright, with the NH35 of course ymmv. With some revision and a better looking render you may find the dail and handset nicer. Since your not a customer for anything with the NH35 in it, I can understand you wouldnt consider this, but the feedback is always welcome :)
