Looks cool enough for me, wow NICE! or ¡NIZA! as the case may be.
Must be the Español version with the "¡"'
The artist in me did notice...
Red box around ! is not red glow. (probably a glow material technical issue?) Was kind of expecting at least a slight glow of the red alert box. Even if there is not much difference when glowing between the "!" and the box when glowing I think it would still look cooler with box glowing too. Also Glow Red on redline marks and hands not very red in daylight. Is there a red glow that is any darker red in daylight?
Minute and hour hands glow red does not continue thru center and extend to the bit opposite center to look like old style speedo hands.
Second hand is all white/glow not just tip. Makes it look more like a watch and not a speedo.
Not killers, just differences from the artwork.

RKD, I noted all of those technical points as well. You, I and Chris are probably the only ones familiar enough w/ the project to have picked that up at first glance though. Little things and they (the hand stuff) might be fixable w/o any issues... the red around the "!" I rather doubt is correctable. Now keep in mind that pic of the glowing face is not good and the red glows much more dimly than the "white" so it may in fact be there and we just don't see it in that exposure but may well with Chris' pics tomorrow.

Regarding the exclamation and red background. I decided that at the last minute they told me they couldn't adhere SuperLumi to itself. So i made a quick decision to have the red background not glow and the "i" glow.
I will have better hi-res images tomorrow.
IIRC, the hands and the redline are orangy red but are not the exact same.
Slight variance in color between the needles in the car and the redline.
James would know best. But I will take some nice pics tomorrow
I need to see the watch in person to 100% that the dial texture is correct.
Plus, it will have a lot more POP with the custom strap.
A Strap does WONDERS to the look of a watch
I will sleep better tonight.....

We can change the "orangy"(glows) redline to RED but it will NOT glow. (will match the "i" background.
I need this decision by tomorrow.
I think we will need to see my detailed photos before we decide.
I want these first 50 (that's all they promised) for Christmas...!
More info tomorrow Good night. I don't think I'm gonna sleep tonight again!

Just my opinion but I would like the "redline" and the hands to be a more orange color, those look like they are a faded set of needles.
Other than that...TOO COOL! I even like it with that band.

The only way to get a more pronounced orange for the hands is to not use SuperLumi, and to just have them treated with paint. It will be a more glossy and defined color, like the red behind the exclamation (hard to tell in these pics, but when I take my pics later we will be able to notice).
I think for the hands, we need superlumi, but not so much for the redline markers
If we decide on the redline markers to be red like the ! background, it will be this process I just mentioned. I am leaning towards this for the redline, but need the watch in my hand to know for sure.
Probably around 7pm my time I will have the watch and will photograph it
