Oh dear .. dare we see it?
I received an offer today, together with a visualisation of my specification.
It looks like it was done on Etch-A-Sketch by Stevie Wonder. :(

Sounds like it was done by our graphics dept. I swear they are actually chimps using broken crayons.
Oh go on put it up for us to see. It might spark a debate and give it a new/better direction.
Either that or it will kill it stone dead in the water (pardon the pun)
ock
Sorry, Eddie, but pmsl at the image that conjures up. :lol:Originally Posted by swanbourne
Go on, I'm waiting :bounce:
I'll have number 10 please.

You must post the visualization (although your description of it made for a good chuckle).
Go on Eddie. Or is it that bad it wont even give me a taste to keep me going....Originally Posted by sschum
(I had a unexpected windfall over the weekend :). I have mentally stashed this away as my fund for Eddies Lady Diver...)
I warned you.

:shock: They've clearly had their top people slaving over hot PCs to produce that! :wink:
F.T.F.A.
I'm shocked that anyone would send that thinking it represents something that you'd want to invest in. I think Stevie would have done a better job ..

Words fail me.

The technical drawing is to follow, this was a draft. :lol:

That concept drawing may be worth money in years to come :wink:
I think that you should date it to stop Jacques from claiming he came up with the design :twisted:
Well that makes it ok then! :lol: Hopefully the technical drawing will be technical!Originally Posted by swanbourne

I really like it,good concept :lol: :lol:
if its half as good in the flesh I will take one! :P
cheers

Wow that is a 'rough' drawing. to be honest can't really visualise it yet. :shock:
It does have potential tho, but as ever the devil would be in detail. Perhaps the technical drawing would help(maybe not if its of the same 'artistic quality!)
How anyone would expect a go/no go decision based on that drawing tho makes the mind boggle.

See what you mean about the etch-a-sketch Eddie, but it does give the general idea - that and the image you posted ages ago :)
Looks very cool. Very nice indeed.
I particularly like the rendering of the coin edge bezel :shock: Product of take your kid to work day? :blackeye:
Did it come on a napkin?
That blue/white/blue concentric effect is going to be quite striking, especially with the colours reversed on the hands. Suspect it'll be one that people will either love or hate; I'm currently in the former category, especially with that convex transparent bezel.
Do people get paid to produce napkin sketches like this? If so, I need to seriously consider a career change.
Stone'enge?

Eddie,
Do you need a watch designer/visualizer? Here are some visuals I made starting from the Marine Master:
Very nice but despite the fag-packet drawing, I have a pretty clear idea how it will look. The brief was to produce a Lady Dreadnought.

put me on the list please eddie
#21 will do :lol:
cheers
mike :wink:
:)
If there's a list, I'm on it, and as close to the top as possible please eddie...
The bezel will be different. :wink:

Will it continue to have the name "Lady Diver"? Despite my best efforts to strike the thought from my head, I can't help but think of 'lady garden' and other associations unsuitable for what will undoubtedly be a fine watch. I realise that asking closed questions is mostly futile, but could it be referred to as the 'Lady's Diver'?
How about dreadnaughty ? :twisted:Originally Posted by hogthrob

Quick and dirty photoshop skills I'm afraid (i.e. crap), but its helped me visualise it even if I'm alone in this...
But yeah, you are right, its a bit rubbish!
I'm confident it will combine toughness and elegance Emma, the sort of thing Lara Croft would wear.

Is the watch definitely on then?
As far as I know it is, better check on the status though.Originally Posted by emmak

If this is going to be a lady Dreadnought please put me down for #2 and #28.
Put me down for number 30 please please please and thank you.

Come on guys, it's only a drawing on a napkin!
