I think it would be better if we have a list of interested party. So far these are the interested party. Please add to the list of you are interested. The expected cost of the watch should be around RM1,500.
Link to discussion on the watch.

Hobbit,
Better to re-iterate the estimated cost of the project.
I think that will be a big factor in people's decision.

Agreed...May be keep the topline, so the rest of people can budget for it

Done. Just as a reminder, I am trying to cap the cost of the watch at RM1,500.

Urmm, what is this about? ???

Urmm, what is this about? ???
enlistment list of members volunteering to go to North Korea on a mission to infiltrate and destroy their nuke ambitions/armament and scout/recce operations.
Sort of like your typical "MWF dirty dozen". of course if we manage to get more than a dozen we'll call it as the numbers of actual members...dirty 13, dirty 23..... and etc... hope you get the picture.

Max is RM1,500, if more people purchase, perhaps can bring down the cost to RM1,000.
Limited edition, own customize with the best stuff and ETA, non-profit project, where on earth you can find, some more with all the sifus here input, all the name are in. Just look at XX yrs later, the first generation of this watch will be a memory for all of us.
My advise JOIN LA

Yalah... RM1,500 for a mechanical watch, LE and customized to be a special watch and not some homage, sapphire crystal with AR coated, superlume, Wotancraft leather... many more!!!

Thank you for the response and interest so far. At this juncture I would like to say and to clear the air that the watch project is a watch project and not a MWF watch project. As such, there will not be a MWF logo on the watch. If need be, we may need to name the watch and perhaps design a logo for the watch. I do apologise if the thought so far is that the project is an official MWF project.

I am :Confused:, I thought I read somewhere this will be the MWF project, or just the project in MWF forum????
-
Adding MWF logo isnt that difficult, is it? :D
zitan,
This is not an official MWF project. As such we cannot put the MWF logo on the watch. I have to respect that MWF is not a commercial concern but a private concern and am already thankful that the owners and moderators have been kind enough to allow me to run this project in MWF.

siodee,
This is a project within the MWF forum. Apologies if you have been lead to believe that this is a MWF project.

Sorry, in that case, please take my name off the list. Apologyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

I am still in although i prefer a sterile dial or an ambiguous logo of some sort as compared to a name for the watch.

siodee,
This is a project within the MWF forum. Apologies if you have been lead to believe that this is a MWF project.
This project must have a name, and there must be a purpose, only when it is clear, there will be faith. I am at the cross road now :-\

The premise of the watch was this:
"The basic idea for this project is that I myself want one of this watches but I cannot get them anymore. The people who made this watch is not interested to revisit this design and as such I was thinking about the possibility of making one. However, no one would just make one piece as the design is rather unique and it would not be cost effective.
There are many ways we can approach this project. But the main idea is to make one as cheap as possible but not at the cost of quality. I would like to be upfront with this project to say that I will not be making any money on this project, as that is not the idea behind the project. The main idea is to get one for myself and in order to do that, the watch has to be manufactured in bulk.
I have not contacted any manufacturer at the moment to cost the watch but based on past experience and experience of others, the minimum order is 200 pieces as it would not be cost effective for the manufacturer to tool up for a basic run of anything less. The basic issue would be the case design. I expect if we do go forward with the project, it may take somewhere between 3 to 6 months before we actually see the fruits of our labour.
The original design of the watch calls for a 22 mm lug width, but I agree that a 24 mm lug width would be better and perhaps make the watch more balanced. Also as highlighted by terrenceterrence and Friday, it would facilitate strap change. Although the watch will be a 'diver' watch (exploring getting the depth rating up to 300M), I have decided to go with straps by Wotancraft (assuming James is interested). It important to note that the cost of a case rated to 300M is more expensive as the design has to be more robust and requires better and thicker gaskets.
I have chosen the basic bezel design as it looks like the divers of the 70s. It is basic and simple to reduce the cost. The 12 o'clock marker will be filled with luminous material and it will be staked (to ensure it will not fall off).
As for it being a MWF project, we will need the approval of the forum owners/ moderators/ administrators. I intend to have the MWF logo on the solid case back (if approved) and leave the dial as sterile as possible. Do note that the idea of a california dial is on the book as an alternate dial. The choice of solid case back is to reduce cost."
However as this project will not be a MWF project, I am sure there are concerns on the project, its justifications, warranty, delivery, manufacturing schedules, responsibilities and more so when money is involved.
As such, I believe I should withdraw this project from the forum, as I do not want to cause undue concerns with the owners, moderators, administrators and members of the forum and put this great forum in any unnecessary risks or repercussions.
The owners, moderators and administrators have been kind enough in allowing me the latitude to post the watch project on the forum. They have been very supportive and interested from the start of the project.
I appreciate and respect that the forum is non-commercial in nature and such the project perhaps could have been better served if it was done outside the realm of the forum. I guess the excitement in this has gotten the better of me.
With this in mind, I have decided it is better that I withdraw the watch project from the forum. Additionally I would like to apologise to all who has shown an interest in the project as the project is no longer on and have wasted your time and energy.
