I got a bunch of requests at Frenzy from folks who missed the last run, so let's do it again. I think the Seiko dial worked brilliantly: It was a good looking piece, gave lots of options, and kept costs under control. So, I can't think of a single good reason not to go that way again.

Here are the threads from the last run:

• https://rennlist.com/forums/928-foru...f-watches.html
• https://rennlist.com/forums/928-foru...928-watch.html
• https://rennlist.com/forums/928-foru...e-watches.html
• https://rennlist.com/forums/928-foru...nzy-goers.html

Here's the thread with the pics of the finished products:

So, with everything in mind, let's do it again!

The following were the design elements from the last design:

• 928 silhouette.
• Master caution '!'
• '928' in correct font.

As we discussed before, there aren't a lot of things that can be done to create a 928 watch that won't involve some combination of these elements. So, the next watch might end up looking a lot like the previous, and that's okay.

I would like to consider doing one in a light background, instead of black. I have enough black watches.

Maybe do the background in the Weissach Edition champagne color?

If we do a silhouette, I would like to do an OB.

I also thing the master caution at 12 o'clock is pretty much a must-have.

Hopefully RKD can do the art again..?

I expect the prices to be similar: $40 or so for the dials alone, an additional $25 plus the cost of the watch for a completed watch. Seiko 5s are running under $70 all day on Amazon, and a classic Seiko diver can be had for $170.

Ready... Go!

 

Hell Yes Shawn I'm in!!

 

Ahh man.....I don't need another watch...I don't need another watch....I don't need another watch..

Ahhh.. well, maybe I'll decide when the new design is done...

Ahhh... Ok... I'm probably in LOL....


(is there anyway to do one with a larger face?)

 

OB with the headlights up as a foil to the S4 wing versions?

 

Found this in the other thread:

Anyway: The die is cast. I'm going to bed!

 

A bigger face would be Great.

 

Needs S/S3 silhouette option.

er, and actually that laser-cut Pascha idea is a pretty excellent idea too.

 

Due to issues with carpel tunnel, I stopped wearing watches years ago. That was until I discovered titanium Skagen watches (of which I've broken two...and stopped wearing watches again).

Is there some "lightweight" equivalent in this Seiko movement I can look for?


My knowledge of watches rivals my dogs expertise at adjusting a 928 clutch.

 

I'm in again Shawn

 

I'm in on this run.

 

I also want one, maybe two. Any left over from the last run? Joined Rennlist after the last run of watches. No leather straps for me, though. Thank you for making this happen again.

 

I am very much interested!

Excellent new Shawn, also in favour of the champagne dial, eventually larger.
So, on board as well!

Very cool, Shawn. But I've gone in a different direction. Forgive me.

 

Although I really like the last designed face on the Seiko 5, I may not be in on this next one. The Seiko 5 watch face seems to me a little small, even for my small wrists. I may be more inclined to get the next one if some other Automatic movement watch, with a larger face diameter is accepted by everyone. In turn, the very first designed 928 watch using the Laco watch was too big for me, at I believe 44mm.

I would have to see how this next one develops, before I make a final decision though.
