    Default Chris, my quick take on your Bigdate Chrono concept



    Replaced the 12 hour digits with this triangle, makes a lot cleaner look IMHO
    If you had this to offer with the Ronda 1/10sec quartz chrono...

    I would buy it in the blink of an eye


    Cheers,

    CT

    P.S. Yes, I like the red outline of the hands, in case you haven't noticed, lol

    Cool, I wish I had the PS layers you probably use for the dials, hands bands etc.
    I have a couple ideas myself, and it is actually quite fun to do.

    Bigger fonts probably will result in digits with cutouts from the subdials? The zero at the 10 o'clock position is something I can tolerate in this case haha.

    That is something that is putting me off with most any chronos.

    As said earlier I would like to see a higher accuracy auto chrono (maybe even the 7750) but the design of the F1 for sure isn't my cup of tea.

    Anyway, for the Bigdate quartz I think this quick mod gives the good old M a sportier look.

    Added a strap with matching red stitching just to see how that would look.

    Cheers,

    CT

    Well, I am sure you guessed that's me entering credit card numbers on the keyboard. I love the big date. I love Tungsten. I love a deployant clasp. Here's to wishing this will be produced soon.

    A Tungsten Bigdate eh?
    Well... Here you go mister!

    I think it looks just great in PVD black though.

    My ordered M27 GMT will be my future tungsten watch, I like how that looks a lot too. L-Ts sure are killing off my other hobbies

    Thank you Bill, just having a little fun with Chris' concepts here.
    The master himself is no doubt doing a better job than me, so let's wait and see where this is heading

    The tungsten concept is not exactly to scale, as it is bigger than the M and as you can see the pushers are missing.
    Made that very quickly just to see how it would look against the PVD M.
    Probably can try to do a properly scaled version tomorrow evening.

    Cheers,

    CT

    Fantastic design. That really does make the face very clean and legible.

    Bigger fonts. More lume!

    Maybe can do with lumed minutes marker too.

    Bigger fonts to place where? OK probably can get slightly bigger still, but not that much before you need cutouts for the subdials again.

    Want thick and lumed minute markers? Get one of the 'B's
