I can't believe this is still rolling on!
It's about two years since I did that first batch of mock-ups based around the concept that Guncrossed raised.
My own thoughts are that we shot the project...
You're right Martin, back when this was a hot topic the design that had the widest acceptance was this one.

Eddie and I also had a...
My only possible concern with quartz for this type of watch is that from reading some of the manufacturing specs, it seems they can be quite sensitive to the weight and balance of the centre chrono...
If I recall correctly, the problem with an automatic was the only suitable movement we found was the Dubois Depraz module as fitted to the "THAG" and that had two issues. A horrendous cost and a...
I felt the same at first, but getting it on the right strap makes a world of difference. A nice thick leather works well and the Chronisimo with it's wider shoulders makes it look a lot 'beefier'.

Get the 17-C !! :D

I'd buy one :!: 8)

How about the traditional triangle pointing upwards at the 12h-marker which is (apart from the presence of the triangle) identical to the markers at 3, 6 and 9?
(In other words, Mark-11-style.) ...
Any suggestions?
It's already virtually double the area of the 3,6,9 markers.
Tried a very large "V" style as per the PRS 18 but that immediately looked out of scale and killed the "clean" look...
Although it might not look it, the markers for 12, 3, 6 & 9 are all drawn to be the same length, to exactly meet the hour hand :wink:
Orange can be many shades between yellow and red so this is somewhere in the middle.

I've had a play with doing a couple of orange chrono hand versions, but with the small areas involved it was not easy to see a real difference from the red. I'll try doing a larger image and see if...
Had a bit of time this evening, so thought I'd try and incorporate the more popular ideas into one design.
i.e.
Keep the "clean" look of the 17-C
Clearer markers for the 12 position and the qtrs...
So if I've followed this right - we are somewhere around here?

How about PRS-17CD (Committee Design) :D........... ONLY JOKING !!!!!!
How about a pvd version - With one of Eddies new bracelets?

Having got so used to the yellow on my own 17-C, I wasn't convinced at first. However as I spent time working on it, it definitely grew on me. A bit more subtle than the yellow I think and would help...
OK for Pete (Guncrossed)

Good work Michael, that's exactly the sort of thing I had in mind, can you...
The big attraction to this one is to increase its chances of creation.
By using the existing PRS-17 dial, Eddie wouldn't have to create a minimum order qty dictated by having a new dial made. It...
Any comments?

To keep it simple, could you just fit the dial from the 17 A/Q?

Geoff - how does this work? I'm away from home so no instructions to hand[ or watch, but I'll try this when I get home][/quote]
It's on the instruction sheet. Basically, by pressing the relevant...
Don't know anything about pilots needs i.e. Flyback, but the movement does have one very nice feature that hasn't got talked about much; you can set the "0" point of the chrono hands to wherever you...
