Yenfoolun,
Orders from Taiwan also. This has turned into an international project. Enzo Mechana had better watch out  ;)

Looking good.  :thumbsup:
Just one minor feedback.
I would prefer to leave the engraved numerals without lume but maybe painted black for improved legibility.
What do you guys think?

i've compared between
1. engrave
2. no engrave
3. engrave with black paint
4. lume


1. give u a feel of solid piece of divers.... (some who want to lume it, can be done later )
2. look smaller and a big chunk of steel
3. better legibility but bit weird with overall design..... because 12 is lume... and then future u cant lume it....
4. it disturb time reading in dark... i prefer not to..... eventhough it may look nice....
