Keep it classic, please. I do not like the flipped crown.

I agree.

 

[taike]

I like it reversed

Reversed it like I

I don't mind it reversed. But I am easy both ways. My only concern is that the slightly larger crown and surround might rub the wrist slightly if reversed.

This should be a very interesting vote indeed

I agree with those who want to keep it classic , however a two o’clock crown is a fantastic idea for a main crown on a future project.

If the 3:00 / 10:00 crown configuration is good enough for Anthony Bourdain it’s good enough for me.
That picture of Bourdain in front of the burger menu must be in Ukraine or Belarus....but not Russia because most (but not all) of the "i' letters are written similar to latin "i"(Ukranian's do this) and only a few are the Russian "И"

Bourdain’s watch is a Ernst Benz Chronoflite. How about a future project being something like this. There are many great examples of world time bezels on vintage Russian watches. I have a Poljot traveler chrono that has this particular look, a favorite watch since Bourdain’s passing.

Poljus design #1 is the winner with 31 most-preferred votes! 2nd place was the #6 Alarm-inspired design with 17 votes. There were 56 votes cast.

Of note, design #4 was actually voted on 33 times total, but only had 6 most-preferred votes. #1 had 37 total votes, and #6 had 28 total votes.

I know Joecool and others were very interested in the Alarm design, but the Poljus still wins out as more preferred. I do not think an adjustment to the non-numeral indices would change this, and so this will be the final result.

Now we can shift consideration to finer dial details, and I'm planning on arranging a larger vote to decide on each detail individually but votes being all cast at once. After that, hands will be the cherries on top before finishing with the caseback and maybe the strap.

Here's what I have considered so far:

Manufacturer Logo:

• Chistopol Watch Factory "ЧЧЗ"
• Vostok "В"
• "Восток"
• Watchuseek "W"

Placement:

• Manufacturer logo below 12'
• "Elbrus" logo below 12'

Dial Text:

• Automatic, "АВТОПОДЗАВОД" or similar
• 32 jewels, "32 КАМЕНЬ"
• 100m Water Resistance, "100 М"
• 5642m Elevation, "5642 М"
• 43°21′10″N 42°26′17″E Location, "43°21′10″ С.Ш. 42°26′17″ В.Д." (Probably 2 lines)

Inscription:

• Made in Russia, "СДЕЛАНО В РОССИИ"
• By order of WUS, "ЗАКАЗ WUS"
• Squeeze in both?

24 hour markings:

• Yes, numerals
• Yes, lume dots
• Yes, lines
• No

Edge markings:

• Minute/second markings only
• Sub-second markings
• Printed dots instead of lines
• Minute numerals (5, 10, 15, etc.)
• Circle encapsulating the markings like the bezel

Top indicie:

• "12"
• "0"

I think the ЧЧЗ manufacturer logo under a numerical 12 would look awesome! Elbrus logo at the bottom. 32 КАМЕНЬ and АВТОПОДЗАВОД at the bottom below Elbrus. "СДЕЛАНО В РОССИИ" and
"ЗАКАЗ WUS somewhere below all this?

100m Water Resistance, "100 М"
[*]5642m Elevation, "5642 М"
[*]43°21′10″N 42°26′17″E Location, "43°21′10″ С.Ш. 42°26′17″ В.Д." (Probably 2 lines) - maybe this should be on the caseback???

The rest I would need to see before I can offer an opinion...

ЧЧЗ logo or В logo below 12 would look best (especially raised/applied) Elbrus with автоподзавод and jewel count and сделано в России at the base of the dial. I would leave off заказ wus and put the WUS logo with coordinates on the case back.

Hold your horses ! :-d

Arizone just told there will be a “big vote” for all these details.

So, maybe there’s no need for campaigning, and we could all just wait for the poll to appear, eh?

Exactly, this is a matter of 'did I forget anything?'

Like... if mentioning Восток, then on top (North), or to the right (East)?

 

[Geoff Adams]

Bloody hell I was only offering an opinion and a vision to spur some discussion after a day of nobody saying anything. Won't bother doing that again if that's the attitude. Jeeeezzzzeee!!!!

And, to be fair, if I want to express an opinion on a post - just so long as my post falls within the rules of the forum - I jolly well will, campaigning or not

I think I could somehow tolerate a little silence Joe, and I've always had a soft spot for Coventry, not just as a pleasant Midlands cathedral city - folk declining to speak to me sometimes offers pleasant and blessed relief
