All these designs might be too blocky for my liking but I prefer the one without crown guard and insert.

I like the one without crownguard. It would be cool if we csn do a plexi bezel as per some of the vintages... We dont see alot of it anywhere and probably half of those out there in the world are birthed in HF

the design looks very great. the two version without CG.with and without roasting bezel. It would be great to have different movement rings for the movements already are common here. maybe also do one ring for an auto movement. I like how this thread is getting forward

is there a chance we can design the midcase so we can use parts which are already available from NW or Athaya for instance (casebacks; 2-piece bezel, plexis, movement rings, etc)?

This could make things easier and cheaper

I thougt the same, but as the 2 piece bezel is out of stock and according to Gordon he won’t do a new batch of them. the caseback and the plexis have to go with the design of the watch

Maybe [mention]Athaya[/mention] can supply it?
