not pre-orded but me going for the turtle version. the other is just too huge for my puny wrist if its the same size as the sun019 series.

i took Padi diving instruction eons ago so its a REAL connection to that logo. plus is totally dislike that big Prospex "X" logo and glad to see it replaced.

still figuring out if this is limited or special edition though. i think its a limited release in the USA (1500 pcs) but will it be a regular version in Asia?

carousell got guys asking $650 pre-order already but i think it a tad too much.

这一点，我已经提过了。。。

又一個“本地設計”產品來啦！
哪哪哪～我不是在潑冷水。。。但是除了設計之外，價格上必須要有吸引力才會得到支持。現在正逢經濟萎縮，你的最終價格扮演多重的角色，就要看在你的產品整體成本，還有你的“野心”有多重了。

以我一貫看錶，買錶，集錶的角度與信念，讓我一步一步來給你分析。。。

先談芯～
從你第二張圖來看，你的特約製造商似乎是用瑞士產的ETA2824（以灰銀鋼色辨認）作為樣本構思。如果你要降低成本，採用ETA以前合作過的夥伴SELITTAS的SW200機芯吧。。。或者可以降低一些，但是還是要看你的特約商是否能夠採購到SW200，因為目前在歐洲，有太多錶廠爭著要SW200。
ETA2824有亞洲產版本，通常是鍍金的。是ETA旗下分廠在亞洲區組裝製造，基本上還是會在機芯上印上“瑞士製造”的字樣的。
（本地產的SANDOZ錶，多數就在用著ETA亞洲產的機芯）
無論是SW200還是亞洲生產的ETA2824，都能在成本上給你折扣。這折扣就轉送給買家吧。。。

二談價
二談樣～
你的設計，遠遠看錶殼有些70年代的經典外形，近點看那鎖住錶鏡的外框（bezel）有些PP的靈感，加上四角那四顆螺絲釘，AP的混合體意味更濃。

再走近一些，錶盤簡潔，沒有太多花紋，不錯。但是品牌商標下的新加坡字樣太大聲了，要吸引不止本地錶迷的青睞，你也要考慮到國家名字是否對外國錶迷有何印象。參考Carousel裡一些舊錶錶盤設計，你會發覺我們本地70年代最夯的幾個品牌，梅花，美都，樂都，Pagol，錶盤上每隔五分鐘的時標都是比較立體的。雖然說以現代生產科技與成本對比，要做到70年代設計，實在是不經濟，但是要搞的“虛擬70年代”應該不會太難。尤其當你提到錶冠可鎖，你似乎已經有些朝往運動設計的方向去了。那麼錶盤上就要下點功夫。。。如，每隔五分的時標，用兩條銀線||作為標記。兩線中間用夜光漆印上一條線，這樣可以製造夜光功能。錶針方面，你那葉狀設計看似必須要特定製作。。。這在成本上或許會增加壓力。。。而且也與你條狀時標有些格格不入。採用市場上有大量生產，DAYTONA款的錶針或者相襯一些。。。
!CBpeev!BGk~$(KGrHqYOKnEEz2p9dSHKBNIiIffb+w~~_12.JPG

我建議在你的樣品，除了採用皮帶之外，嘗試配上網狀（MESH）鋼帶，還有尼龍NATO/ZULU錶帶，來帶出整隻錶的不同特性。

以上設計建議純屬個人看法，最終決定權還是屬於品牌擁有者的。。。

再談價～
就如我之前提到的，以目前的經濟環境，成本條件，要搞好自己的品牌實在要面對不少挑戰。設計上是否引人注目，價格上是否吸引力夠強。。。全部都建立在如何控制成本。在錶盤上印上“SWISS MADE”字樣，在價格上就會有些負面反應。。。拿之前另一個本地設計品牌Vorque來說吧，概念似乎與你相近，設計也不錯。。。但是就是吸引不到錶迷支持。。。為何？
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/vorque-constantine-swiss-automatic-movement-watch--4#/
錶款設計太有其他品牌的影子？標價太高？還是配置不如人意？

後談品牌～
我當然是希望本地創立的品牌能像Zelos，GRUPPO，moVas，那樣能夠走出一片天。
但是如果價格，還是設計上個人意味太濃就會難了。此時此刻的經濟環境，更是添加壓力。去除新加坡在錶盤上的字樣吧。你已經巧妙的將新加坡國名的刻在錶冠上了。其餘的就讓他國錶迷發崛品牌的奧秘啦～～～

Saw on several fb groups that it is available in m'sia already. Definitely going for the turtle. There is a set reserved @ $580 on carousell.

IIRC it's a special ed, not limited ed.
