Lets throw out some suggestions for a watch to make... And then lets make a poll... Who would participate if a particular watch would be homaged...
So far we have
1. Eterna-matic kontiki super idf
2. Longines hydrographic survey
3. r0lex deep sea special
Any others?
Although i really would like to push the suggestion to make the eternamatic... I think that a nice forum homage project would also be one that we can create using some commonly available and nice vintage movement we can pick up off ebay. Any suggestions?

Why a homage? Something custom, only available to HF members.
Homage Foristi. I'd love to be walking thru an airport and spot one of my brothers because of his watch. (or a seedy strip club... )
Of course it would need to have true tritium tubes .....

Yes of course a truely special build would be great and i would be in... I missed having missed out on the modern vintage which i understand is a unique build borne out of this forum...
Tritum vials... Why not.... Of course just to avoid any misunderstanding, im appealing to the builders and makers... And wouls love to participate if you all do get down to it... I am however not capable of starting a project on my own....

Why not? You can do anything you put your mind to.calvinktlim wrote: ↑December 3rd, 2019, 5:36 pm I am however not capable of starting a project on my own....
Maybe come up with the idea and design, farm it out...
I see DROP has a Tritium watch and it was farmed out to Armourlite. Armourlite made the watch for DROP.
Maybe you (we) could do the same, come up with the design and idea, farm it out to who ever can produce it. It does not have to be Armourlite, there are lot of companies on the web.
Maybe a kit type watch would work? Source the dial from one place, source the movements from another, that might work too. So many options.
First you need an idea (or a couple). What do you and a group of misfits from here agree on in the design. What will attract the largest number of the members to buy in on? Post the ideas and refine them . Then draw something up rough in CAD. Then fine tune. Redraw.
What watch represents HF?
I'm thinking out loud here. Probably a mechanical movement over a quartz?
Crazy good lume or tritium?
Cover a range of dress to sporty (maybe with a strap or bracllet change)
