A Rolex Zerograph homage would be great

Guys, I have updated the poll with the new options.
You need to cast your vote again, sorry for the inconvenience.

To be honest "something with tritium" probably won't happen.
Buying the cheaper "China" version tubes runs around $10 a tube. Put 12 on a dial, plus three for the hands, you are already at $150 for sub standard tubes. I have some of these tubes. They are ok, but nothing to write home about.
If we were serious about a tritium dialed watch, we would be best to approach Armourlite with our design/plan and see if they would get involved.
I'm looking at the Drop "Massdrop x ArmourLite Ember T100 Tritium Watch". They are on sale from $300 down to $250 for cyber Monday. I went to order one and they are all sold out except for the blue dial with a titanium case and strap. The page shows 416 Sold. I'm guessing they made 500 total ?
So simple math....... these are cheap watches with a cheap Ronda quartz movement.
We would need approx. 500 unit at around the $250-300 price range to maybe get them interested in them helping us.
Adding a better movement will bring up the price. We might get a price cut if we can get them in a kit form.
We'd still need a larger group. I can't see us getting 500 of these sold. Unless we drag in members from some of the other watch building sites. Maybe different dials for the different sites.
Ok, next plan?
