If my bourbon fogged memory still works you sketched out a hexagon shaped case on the old forum when we were discussing an HF watch?
Still have the sketch?
I don't recall that. Was it me? Maybe I was into the bourbon.

A Rolex Zerograph homage would be great

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?
