RKD in OKC

I hope you all realize the red minute and hour hand I made up and may not be available. Only 6 thru 8 have hands I saw available with the red second hand still being questionable. I did see one or two watches with the red second hand but could not find it available for purchase. Most of the extra handsets you can get are much much wider which look much better on a divers watch than a dress watch. Should I put the hands that come with the movement on all the designs?



The only real difference between 0 and 4 in production would be the spoiler. Otherwise 4 is a cleaned up version of 0 so the minute marks are still at the 9 and 12 positions like next to the date window at 3.

I want one that shows 'Porsche' on it.

Don't be a *****.

Sorry Randy, not going to happen if I do the artwork. I refuse to be liable.

The usage rights for the Porsche Crest or Name specifically states that the Porsche name or logos are NOT to be used to add value to something whether selling it or not.

Porsche doesn't even put their crest or car company name on their own watches. Porsche Design is actually a different entity even though it is linked closely with the car company. In fact, you will find ALL of the Porsche Design products have Porsche Design (the legal name the make and sell those products through) on them and NOT the crest or just Porsche like the car company uses.

As I understand the current usage rights the Porsche Club of America has on the Logo and Crest, the PCA could put the crest with the name under it with nothing around it or connected to it on an item as long as the item is only made available to PCA members exclusively. If you would like to contact Porsche Cars of North America and negotiate similar rights for the watch, I would be happy to design a watch following their usage standards.

Any chance you could include a Porsche crest by using a picture of something on part of the dial?

e.g. using a masked phone dial background image with the porsche crest positioned where the "3" would be. The crest would be due to the picture of a Porsche wheel, rather than use of the crest on its own as a deliberate act

Putting the crest where the "3" would be should leave space still for the 928 on the opposite side, creating the balance.

Personally, the silhouette doesn't do it for me - it was done well with the other watch, and its used elsewhere, so IMO its too much of the same.

Phone dial and Clubsport images below for an example of a crest that might be sneaked in

Wishing I had pshop and skills to mock it up.. might have to go get GIMP and see if I can figure out enough basics.

How about a ladies version?

I'd actually prefer no Porsche crest on it. I liked the idea of the initial watch, which kept it very simple.

A watch with the warning light, the silhouette, and orange-red hands like the needles on the dials of the car and I'd call it good.

Seiko ladies' watches generally used the 2205 or 4205 movement. These are also rugged little beasts, used for many ladies' watches, boys' watches, and mid-size divers over the years. I have a couple 4205 divers, they're nice - although getting very hard to find. Unfortunately, we need to order at least 50 dials.

I could be wrong, but I don't believe Seiko ever put a 7S26 into a ladies' watch. A quick Google search didn't turn up anything, either. However, there are plenty of cases for the 7S26, and watches have been, in general, getting bigger: you might be able to find a 7S26 that won't look crazy on a woman's wrist.

Here's a very complete listing of Seiko divers with pictures: http://archives.makedostudio.com/seiko-divers/

These are the two designs I like…



I like the "!" alert because it represents the older models and the red adds a sporty color to the watch.
I like the wing on the car because it represents the newer models and adds a sporty look to the car outline.

Don't care about the Seiko name and model and the automatic and jewels except that I noticed there were quite a few custom faces with the stock markings to let you know what the movement is. Kinda like the Made in Germany on the limited edition watch.

It will be interesting to see if there are enough people interested to order 50 custom watch faces.

I like everything about 4 except the [!] placement... for that item, I prefer 0's. I think it's a great idea to offer complete watches as a packaged deal as well as selling dials for one of a kind customs.

I still have my eye on finding a good used SKX171 donor to customize.


If it's not too difficult, could you paste in version 0 into the following case just to give a rough idea what this might look like. I picked up a version of Adobe Photo shop elements, so hopefully soon I'll be able to do this.

I personally like the item above designated as 9 the best. I can live with either the spoiler or no spoiler, but like the balanced look of 9. I'd love the red hands if they could be available, however, but again - could live with those in number 9.

What Gary said.

I'm in for one.
I would like it with the spoiler and red hands if available.
If not, no problem.

M. Requin

I would have liked it without the spoiler, but with red hands, but RKD makes a good argument for including the spoiler with the [!]. So #9, color of hands unimportant, spoiler/no spoiler unimportant, composition important. So I'm with these guys.

I vote for #9 preferably with red hands.
