Hi chronotriggered,

   Thank you for your thoughts and comments. In terms of a price, I am still in the process of finalizing that.  There are probably several reasons other companies are not using 3D printed cases (though some are.) Cost is one reason. The time involved in machining the cases post printing is another. Also, the finish is not "perfect"(like you would get from a cnc and polished surface). I realize these things, yet still want to make these watches, because the 3D printing process offers potential in design that you cannot get from any other process. If you use this to your advantage as a designer, this can result in a case that has not been produced before. If you can appreciate the value in this concept, I think it helps to pay a little more for the product. In terms of the dial, I will have other options in terms of color and may even change the design a little(or in other models) Also I do have another case design with lugs similar to what you mention. Stay tuned. Thank you again! 

Hi watchobsessed, thanks for the feedback. The minute hand design was influenced by a compass needle design(which has a long counter balance), with the conceptual significance of "branching out, finding one's own way and direction." I don't know if an explanation helps to accept the design or do you still feel it needs changing? Thanks!

Hi ckim4watches, thank you for your comments. I will definitely take them into consideration as I move forward!

I am going experiment with this Richierich. The issue is: the more of an angle, the longer the lugs need to be to give space for the strap so it doesn't interfere with the caseback. I may be able to make some adjustments though. Thank you!

I really appreciate the way you explained this OscarKlosoff. There are several methods of  3D printing in stainless. I use binder jetting as I feel it is the cleanest method and most intricate, though it does leave the build lines as a result of the process. The finish is not "perfect" like a cnc machined and polished surface, but I like the fact that it is, as you call it, an "honest artifact" of the process. 

Thank you for your comments evilgnome. (ps I grew up at a place called Gnome Countryside...look it up!) I feel that you get what I am going for in terms of design. You are correcct in terms of the size. It is on the larger size at 41mm diameter and 50mm lug to lug. I am working on a smaller model as well though so stay tuned. Thanks again!

Hi street.credor, Thank you for your thoughts and comments. I have some other case designs in the works as well, though I feel this model is where I want to start. I will definitely consider your comments on the dial and minute hand. I did base the likeness of the minute hand on a compass needle which adheres to my concept of branching out and finding your own path. Upon knowing the reasoning behind it, do you still feel it doesn't "work"? Thank you!
