    Putting this into production early in the new year



    The only uncertainty I have is whether to go for polished steel or blued steel hands on version C, there won't be both.

    Been waiting for this!

    I like the blue and the Salmon, I think those colours go well together.

    Always blued hands for me - they are the icing on the cake on your watches Eddie.

    I'm not surprised, I'm having difficulty making that decision.

    Definitely silver hands on the salmon dial, the blue don’t look right to my eye.

    I feel that the Silver hands blend better and overall the watch looks rich-er.

    Silver gets my vote - but there's no "definitely" about it. Blue is more legible, but the blue-on-salmon grates on my eyes.

    Silver hands for me

    I’m conflicted here as I really like version F, the dark blue aventurine dial, but worried it will be another
    unobtainable piece with the level of demand.

    Top marks for producing awesome watches Eddie.

    Oh and my vote is for salmon and silver

    Me too, blue and pink look an odd contrast to me.

    That said, I won't be buying this one, so maybe my view is moot.

    Surely the silver indices on the salmon dial make the silver hands a must, the blue is otherwise incongruous.
    The blued hands would need blued indices to work, imho.

    I always think blued hands make a watch a bit special

    I imagine so, it's just the way they've been drawn (the grey shadowing between the silver) made the beads look odd (on my phone screen).

    As the eyes get older legibility becomes paramount, so it's blue hands on the salmon dial. They look nicer too.

    I think the blue hands could work on the baby blue version - changing the indices to silver of course.

    Salmon I’d vote for the silver myself.

    I think version F could be spectacular...

    Steel/silver hands on version C. The blue looks an odd match to my eyes.
    Cheers,

    I would definately say silver hands on the salmon dial as this would look perfect however, not sure about the bracelet though as I just don't think it works with this style of watch.

    A nice leather strap (which I think it was originally displayed on) really suits the watch in my opinion, hopefull the piece will be offered on both options.

    Think I agree on the bracelet, it's quite an eye catching watch, not sure it needs such a bling bracelet.
