thanks for the commend...
when i started this... (for malaysia watch forum, a very very small community)
our first few requirement are
1. no logo
2. readability....

so i'll maintain no logo.... but i agree with u... too rollie sub max dial is boring...

i'll think about something more exciting now....

great work, just saw this! :)

that's why I no longer use the old factory, they want bigger numbers the better, and everyone gets the design you worked on later, and unless you move in there and work on all cases yourself, u can't have the quality needed, so be careful. but for drawings, they are useful for sure., and costs are always much more expensive than factory quoted, my first ones were 4 times more after all the reworking, they couldn't do it by themselves, lol, yikes.!

that's why I started making my own cases, more expensive, as it is major time consuming, and labour intensive, no cnc, but can work on the numbers I like., and the quality is controlled :)

im sure you can find some factories that will take smaller numbers at a higher price, do not give up, make it happen if you feel excited about the project my friend, you will feel happy in the end :)

its a shame how many factories are so numbers based. I mean, sure I understand the need for profits, but it is just so far off from the ideal I have over watchmaking. I know we share the passion and love of watches, that's why I had such conflicting ideas with not only this factory,but so many cnc factories, yikes, boy do I have stories:) let me know how it goes with the new guy.

hey, a friend in malaysia may need some help from me, so I may go there soon, will let you know indeed, although diff city than you., would be great to meet up :)
