Project Build a Camel Bonus Round - The Committee Strikes...
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water...
I'm just putting together the disparate parts of the WC Project Watch and it's clear there has been a decision that I think needs a review. I want to play a game of "spot the second hand" in the picture above (the case is just sitting on top of the movement for context here - in case you think it looks a bit odd):-
Hmmmm.... just.. hmmmm.
The other thing to note is that the dial has lovely, green, c3 lume. But the hands.. do not. Which means, in the dark, our watch will be as much use as a chocolate fireguard.
So, I've made an executive decision to put this back to the vote. The three other finalists are back... along with the option to leave it as is. What I call the "It's our child and we'll love it regardless" option.
Please choose wisely...

oof, yeah, we all done goofed on that choice.
Blue on blue? We can't be having that!
My 2 cents : I have never seen a lumed dauphine hand that really lumes something.
See this is what happens when you leave the choices to market research and all the 'experts' out there, and thats why most companies rely on accountants to make the decisions 😉. Anyway this 'expert' has chosen the lumed dauphine hands (this time🤣)

You lot chose it. I stayed silent. But I am silent no more 🤣

It certainly doesn't lume anything if its got no lume
This is a good exercise of executive privilege. A near miss avoided.

Good point 😀
There are lumed dauphine hands on my JLC Master Control, they do not lume anything, even charged, and to be honest I think it would be even cleaner without any lume at all.
Dauphine shape do not allow to put enough luminova to be somewhat useful.

There's where you've gone wrong. JLC are amateurs.. you need a mod part built Gasworks 🤣
problem? vox populi vox dei
Good call to change! 👍
So... the choice is clear .. Dauphine it remains... but thus time they're lumed.
...and they're ordered and on the way.
This bloody ridiculous idea is costing me a fortune 🙄 🤣
