Ed, can you speak a bit louder / write a bit larger, please? Your message seems lost in the noise .....hked said:

Glad I could be of service.

The picture shows an automatic, but the description said it's a manual (hand) wind. Is there more than one version of this movement? 14mm total case height seems more in line with an automatic. I wouldn't mind a thinner handwound watch, especially since it has a power reserve indicator. On an automatic that will indicate 'full' most of the time, unless there is a problem with winding efficiency....
I wonder if the movement can be modified by removing the rotor to make it a slimmer, hand winding watch.
FAQ description mentions blue rotor, so movement is auto

On the other hand automatic movement is also part of your new "smart watch". Having the power reserve indicator you can check your daily performance of move (on foot). So this movement keeps you healthy by winding up your watch.

Eagerly anticipating where this design will go. I am loving the layout of the elements on the movement. This watch could be a real stunner. I have a Parnis Portuguese already and I love the idea of a chrono layout without the service costs.

I am guessing that this watch will reflect some IWG Portuguese influence, no? A handsome watch indeed. I am wondering if there are going to be multiple dials will they be variations on the same theme i.e. different colours or will the project go for some dissimilar looks ex. Omega Railmaster XXL influence in the batons or Aqua Terra dial and batons.

Just had a measure up and to give some idea of the size here are a few pictures of a (very busy) dial Citizen AT on my 7,1/4" - 18 cm wrist. The watch is 44 mm dia (+ 2 mm for crown) 13 mm thick , and 50 mm lug to lug . It feels comfortable to wear but i think it will all depend on the lug shape that's chosen . Hope this helps in some way. Remember the lens sometimes makes things look slightly larger but these shots are fairly accurate . DW.

There should be two to three final designs, although this will depend on what you guys come up with!

The FAQ - Under Project Rules at the start there is a typo that still says "Bundeswehr".
Please state in the FAQ who the committee members perhaps create section 2.2 in the Project Rules for a list of names?
May be a small icon on dial to represent the year of the monkey?
