Well we are done with the initial polling process, fun wasn't it?
So some of you had different requests during the polling sessions and it seemed like too much trouble to go all the way back and start things over at that time. So I completed our first design, henceforth known as Typhoon LE Mark 1
Seriously, if you think you like the new dial option enough for us to go back to the dial design phase, which requires a re polling of consequent choices to achieve a more attractive overall outcome, please vote accordingly.
Personally, I think our current design rocks and is a great compromise between all tastes. It si also very unique, attractive, and yet conservative enough. We also know for a fact that Steinheart have worked with these options before so they can get the project done faster.
On the other hand, we want to do this right and whats another three days in the grand scheme of things? We want to produce a watch that you look down to tell the time and take an extra long glance with a big grin on your mug. If a redesign makes that happen, small price! And we can think of this as a training session.
Also please note that there is also the chance of a second, less expensive LE, maybe an ivory Pilot with a display back? will see about interest once we get our initial batch in.
THE CONTENDERS:
The silver dial on this GT has been requested as an option, if you preffer it over the grey, vote junk.

This ivory dial is also another option.

Here are our specs as per our voting process:
Nav B-Chrono II
Case: Steel, satin brushed
Diameter: 45MM
height: 16mm
Dial: Dark Slate Grey date disc in English
Crystal: Sapphire domes crystal, double anti-reflecting coating on the inside
Bezel: Light grey Titanium

Hands: Silver with black super luminova or grey
Lug width: 22mm

Hence if the design ideas were transfered to the cheaper Pilot (half the price in fact), I'd probably be happier.
