Browsing Kickstarter and came across this.

I do like vintage dive watches, but find them too small, but at 47mm these are on the big side.
Considering backing as I’m loving the look, what do you guys think?

I have been praying for someone to make a decent Caribbean 1000 homage for years. I even thought about doing it myself but alas I know nothing about watch making. Unfortunately, that is not what I was praying for. This is:

They quote the bezel as 44mm and it doesn't look like it overhangs, so maybe the 48mm includes the crown.Originally Posted by Neilw3030
Is 1000m possible with pushers?
That is very nice, what is it and is it available?
This might be of interest, sorry if you've already seen it. Particular interest is Eddie's post about making a homage.

V nice design but over 42 and I'm out.
A little too big and a lot too expensive for a Seagull chrono, a movement with which I have not had good experience.
And anyone that tells me on their main page that the original "was powered by a vintage Valjoux 72 automatic chronograph movement" is having a giraffe. People really do need to check their details

Im a sucker for blue, but for me it would need to be 41-42mm.
Be patient.

Seems to be a disk case rather than a traditional lugged one. I am guessing this accounts for the size as well.
The new seagul movement seems to be based on the valjoux 7750...

That looks great. Are the numerals on the bezel lumed? They look it!

Lovely. I almost started to think that I was making it all up in my head... I was sure I had read a post from Eddie about an updated version .... but couldn’t find it. Thanks for sharing!
No, they're metal in relief and then the bezel is filled, I thik with clear acrylic.
I'l probably go for an enamel bezel like this one (but not in those colours)
