i like 0 best, but could you try with the date in red and the day in black? it seems to me that the red stuff stands out and should be the most important information, and keeping track of day is easier than date (for me at least) and when I look at my watch it is either for the time or the date, never for a day (although I don't have a day counter on my watch).

also I'm in favor of the ! or we could do the turn signal, but I don't know if other older cars do that too; I've never noticed it on anything other than a 928. also, the spoiler should go.

For the sake of pushing towards a consensus, I vote "0".

Design 0 tweaked a bit.
928, car, and ! smaller leaving minute marks all the way around and fits the size of the watch better. Also standard luminous minute and hour hands with red seconds hand.

Of the original designs, 0, followed by 1, was my favorite. I think the tweak of 0 is an improvement.

Nooooooooooo............. Its Perfect! Lets anyone know exactly what the outline is & what the watch is about, not cluttered at all. IMHO

All the more reason to do it.

928 folks aren't your typical sheeple.

Less typing and more photoshopping!

Well, except for the fact that the ! system was done away with in, when - '89?

I'll buy whatever it ends up as. But I think the 928 beneath the silhouette better defines or identifies what the watch represents. I like the smaller "!" too. I also like the 928 beneath the "!" but that might be bad "mojo" to have them close together. Wanna keep the 928 as far away as possible from the "!" right?

4, but bring back the red outline on the hands.

Default my vote

First choice is 0, followed by 3, followed by 4.

Would be interesting to see the ideas also photoshopped onto Diver case for those thinking about that as an option.

I'm totally with Randy V's thinking when it come to making this a renegade production with a crest at noon. By the time we ask for permission or forgiveness this project could be water under the bridge 😁

and for the ! how about dropping the red - as a properly running 928 should not have the warning illuminated - just a border containing the [ ! ]

one more point of difference from the first watch too
