above two hv trace to divers... so was thinking to have next project watch differently
pls cast your vote to help us decide the next MWF watch

Hi Chris, your idea to have the Pilot in remembrance of the loss of our national airlines' MH370 and MH17 was a rather touching tribute. God bless the departed ones on those flights, and I hope the idea takes off. Cheers.
-
My vote for pilot. :thumbsup:
-
I respect and like the idea of commemorating the two air planes, but I also do feel there's a need of a watch to promote racial harmony and national unity in the country, especially after all these 'crazy' cases happened lately in Malaysia. Be it a diver, pilot or dress watch.
Just my 2-cent idea.
-
Chris, a pilot watch tribute to the MH flights would be truly fitting. I personally would be especially interested if any profits went to a victim support fund.

In remembrance on the loss of the MH flights :Praying:, my vote goes to Pilot too

I have to agree totally with Jason here. The tribute watch would need to somehow to able to have the proceeds to help and support the fund for the families.
I'm never a fan of forum-dedicated watches but for if this takes off well, you will have my support.
-
I too agree with member on a pilot theme watch.
And the Charity part is an awesome idea.
If there's charity involved, I am all for it. :thumbsup:
-
The pilot watch is a fitting project this time around. I am definitely supporting this idea :thumbsup:
-
Another vote for pilot
-
pilot, get some b&r dna on it
-
+1 for Pilot.
-
For a tribute watch (considering the event of both MHs) I'd like to proposed the following:
1. Very conservative, like a standard Type II (smaller) or maybe a Flieger type A or B (larger), something along those lines
2. Simple, Sober and very dignified
3. Clear and very respectable
Just my 2 cents.
-
i do not want ppl said we use MH370 to promote MWf... also by the time watch ready also could be after 6 mths !
so any idea how can we do this ?
any donation fund set up ? any 1 can lead me to that?
-
I am voting for something dressy. Wearing a watch is a celebration and a happy occasion. Why on earth would you want to commemorate a tragedy let alone 2? Forever wearing a sober reminder on your wrist is not cool. My opinion. Helping the victims fund is a good idea and I am in for that.
Regards,
Fong
-
I agree with Fong. I too voted for something dressy,
If MWF plans to make contributions to the family of the victims, I am all for it. But I don't think we should link the tragedies to a watch which may IMHO be interpreted as we trivialising the tragedies.
-
i vote for sexy dressy....
-
Dress watch but without linkage to the air disaster.
-
No offence meant, but I think some of the forummers were complicating matters with additional demands towards the Pilot watch.
Firstly, I would opine that it was a meaningful gesture from Chris to have the Pilot in remembrance of MH370 and MH17. Check out the corporate adverts on "Remembering MH370" and/or "Mengenang MH370". These were put up in remembrance towards the incidents. It brings about humility, humanity, and a sense of togetherness. This was not an act of trivialising the incident- in actual fact, it was an active role towards remembering the planes and the lives on it.
Secondly, it would be tough enough for the organiser to spend time and effort on the design and ultimate execution towards the watch, let alone catering to collecting donations towards the incidents. It is always easy to talk, but the action and planning are the hardest. So think of the resources that we have in the manpower. After all, they do have a day job, or so I think.
Now, if you were to collect some donations from the proceeds and then going to (I don't know which organisation) to hand-over the donations with pictures and all a sundry, then I believe that that would just be our beloved forum making use of the tragedies for some cheap publicity. We don't need that. If you are really interested in charity, find out where you can make the contribution and do so personally. There's no need to pile the effort on the organiser. MWF doesn't need the publicity.
The objective was good- an MWF watch, until the many demands came flooding in. I say, let's stick to the watch. Let's make a good watch. One that you would put on and your thoughts go out to those whom were on the planes.
Heck, if having a Pilot would be so tough with 1001 requests and comments, then let's just stick to our normal Diver genre. And remember not to mention Titanic or James Cameroon's Dive or any other event on the watch.
Sorry, just my 2 sen.
-
do a smart watch :P
-
I vote for pilot, something different or combo with smart function, like pedometer
-
Looking at 2 majorities preferred direction...
I m looking at a gd German pilot kind of case suitable for a dressy dial or kind...
A straight forward gd 316L brush/polish steel case of 40-42mm with an onion crown.
-
thanks those who gave their view .... I can sense all are kind and good intended.
I do not want to complicate the matter, tragedy is not good to associate with our MWF watch. We will easily get blame for 'trying to be famous'
I will concentrate on project watch ....

this would mean it'll be close to rm2k?

My vote for pilot....
But is this time production will increase? I miss out the previous project... Hopefully I can get one from this project..

If it is a gd Swiss n German made case with Swiss movement... Gift to be much more!
How well the movement we want it decorated?
Skeletonise?
Beveled n perlage plus ctg n blue screw?
Or plain?
I will do some study....
May next round of survey on that...

well, i'm just basing it by looking at the price of the archimedes pilots which uses ickler cases and with apparently a top grade 2824, which comes up to about usd555.

If that is the decision, I think we can all totally respect that. I also appreciate andytagheuer view on the matter and I have to agree to most of his points. :)
If the decision is to go with the Pilot watch, I'm still in. German style Pilot watch with onion crown sounds good!
-
+1 for pilot
-
i like below design with
1. 40mm case
2. a bit smaller crown
3. thinner case
4. reliable eta movement

-
something similar to IWC's Big Pilot would be orgasmic. :Cheers:
-
I vote for Pilot too… I agreed that our project watch should refrain from any links to MH’s incident.
Can we have a clean and neat Pilot watch? I love to have a skeleton dial if it cost minimal compare to solid dial.

square pvd like b&r
-
too many pilot watch same design...
i wanna do a dressy pilot...
higher end movement thing!
Agree, not the normal B-uhr and B&R type.
Maybe a tilted dial (i.e. 12 o'clock to be positioned at 1:30 o'clock), like the VACHERON CONSTANTIN HISTORIQUES AMERICAN 1921 or the LONGINES AVIGATION WATCH TYPE A-7.
Case max at 42mm, matt black dial and fake patina markers.

interesting design, might as well put it in consideration.. I kinda dig LONGINES AVIGATION WATCH TYPE A-7 pattern.. LOL
-
Pilot please
-
I vote for pilot, but ya agreed, maybe we should stay away frm the 2 incidents.
1. 40-43mm case
2. reliable eta movement
-
Not feeling a lot of love for the MH370 tribute!
No worries, I might still be interested, if the design and price are right.
-
Pilot as a tribute to those who lost their life in the 2 incidents but stay away from them. No link to them...
Prefer something ard 45-47mm.
Reliable eta movement, seiko nh35 prehaps?
No date please...
-
my vote for pilot watch.
-
So how? can put name and pay deposit already? :Jumping:
-
I would like to propose ala Stowa Flieger style with date. :Praying:
Peace...

Archimede, Tourby, Uhr,

Wah i read high end.
If D.Dornblüth & Sohn, i cant afford
-
How about a skeleton movement?
-
How about a skeleton movement?
nice :thumbsup: :thumbsup: mind share some of your imagination on how the watch will look like?
-
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
-
How about a skeleton movement?
ETA 6497-1? or China?
-

I would agree with Hanz.. Price point had to be agree on first... Next would be the movement... Anything but seagull ya..
-
Suggest go for skeleton design
-
:thumbsup: vote for pilot :Cheers:

Skeleton suppose to be scary right? haha
Actually i dont think i have the bullet for that too. Im actually not so insist to have skeleton d.
A Simple pilot with MWF insignia will do
-
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.
-
After more than 3 pages of comments, MODs still have not decided on the price point yet for the 3rd MWF watch ??
-
Is it possible to maintain the same price range like the MWF 2nd watch project?
-

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?
(http://jomajewelry.com/jomashop-item-images/oris-big-crown-mens-watch-754-7543-4064ls/OR754-7543-4064LS_2.jpg)
Maybe with a custom strap if not too expensive.
-
