As with any project watch, I think the 1st thing we need to determine is the price point.
After price point have been agreed, then we can move on to other things.

Yup, the price point will determine affordability of the project watch

Traditionally, Pilot watches are clear legible and durable tool watches. I'd say keep it simple but with a little twist to make it special.

If it can be anti-magnetic, even better!

Hope MWF will make it affordable (say RM1000) so that MWF can reach out to more members.

This thread is not meant to decide anything.
Just to gauge interests and direction.

Mwf can easily create another 50 pieces of pilot like other pilot watch
Brushed round case, onion crown, miyota movement, black dial with luminous index...


But how many of us already hv watch like that? Plenty I will say...

Ya! Hanz right, we are looking for feedback.... For direction,  for price range...
It's stated clear in the title of the thread!

Let's all be patient and let the MODS work on this project. In due course when the price and design suits your, then put your money down. Don't expect the MODS to please everyone in this forum.

What about an Oris pilot style watch with a discreet MWF logo on the dial?  Something like this?



Maybe with a custom strap if not too expensive.

Is someone implying the MWF Project Watch 3 will be in the likeness of B&R? Interesting indeed.

sketching is being done... need adjustment

starting from the sea

the' tool 'watch is big

but i want it more wearable... so adjusting design

also costing need to bring down. we are talking about 20 pieces with swiss movement. so i need to work at certain range

BR GTG will be good time for some chat....
