I would REALLY like this one, although I would prefer beige patina numerals.Originally Posted by Cornholio
I had been hoping to see this in production.
Mellor-72 is one of my favourites, but would welcome an alternative with sapphire and enhanced WR.

I am not one to shy away from faux-patina, in fact I recently just got out of a phase where I wanted it on everything, however I feel the white of the numerals is what makes the patina of the markers 'pop'?
Then again, I'm not a fan of the cushion case of the Mellor so my opinion of the dial (which I like as is) shouldn't hold any weight as I probably wouldn't be a buyer
Would love to see this one, love it!!

Version A looks fantastic. Very much on my wish list.

Homages to
Sekonda Strela 3017 & Omega Flightmaster taking best bits from the Cal. 910 & 911.
Why? In my eyes the Sekonda is one on the most beautiful and elegant Chronos ever made. And the Flightmaster has one of the most interesting combinations of case and dial designs of the seventies.

I’ve fancied a GMT Chronograph for a while, but can’t identify a modern movement with these complications.
The Heuer Autavia GMT is my grail watch and I’d love to see a modern interpretation.
Or the Zodiac branded version based on the later Heuer Autavia case
Coming to think about it, I’d like an homage of this Autavia even if it didn’t have the GMT function. The Pepsi bezel is a jaw dropper on a chronograph.
A chronograph GMT is something I didn't even know existed, and now I'm lusting after a 50 year old Ł10k watch...I’ve fancied a GMT Chronograph for a while, but can’t identify a modern movement with these complications.

GMT chronograph could be the Valjoux 724.

Thanks Eddie. Got your order in for them yet? ;-)

What about this being an exploration into the Seiko VK63 mecha-quartz movement? No need for a GMT movement, just a faded Pepsi 12 hour bezel which could be turned to indicate GMT when on holiday?I’ve fancied a GMT Chronograph for a while, but can’t identify a modern movement with these complications.

37 or 38mm bezel diameter, 46/47mm lug to lug with a 43/44mm lug-hole to lug-hole, sapphire box crystal, bi-directional bezel (for GMT use) and I’d have the ultimate daily driver. Please

The Sekonda looks like it would slot in nicely with the rest of the TF lineup! Not my thing but can definitely see the beauty of it
Flightmaster is probably more polarising, but different strokes!
Well, since you did say “any”
Hamilton issued to US Marine pilots in WWII. A black dialed version existed for the Navy.
This one is mine, but I’d love to see a modern version.

Most iconic Smiths model ever. Use the same vintage lume as the honeycomb. Success.

Vacheron 222!
I would love some version of this at let's say 38mm.
(The original is something like 31mm)
Costume jewellery. Ouch!!!
Even better with the 9ct gold case

I think a Smiths Deluxe “BR” for British Rail would be very popular with Smiths collectors.

Was just looking at that one, that would be a nice choice if we start getting some Smiths with the SW261 with no date. With the 9K gold case that would be a beautiful dressy watch.
Vacheron 222, no doubt!
This would be nice:
but at 38 or 39mm.
Knowing Omega they probably trademarked "pie pan", so it might have to be the Smiths flan platter.
Probably too close to the PRS-54 to fit into the current Timefactors lineup, anyway.
...or one of these:
but 36mm.

Looks beautiful as well! New version of the old Richmond Spencer?
Due in September.

That's lovely. I think it would be even a bit better with a crosshair dial, but either way it's a winner.

Can you reveal the dimensions?
Oh boy, those look great.
These look absolutely superb!
I've been looking forward to seeing what new developments might be next, and this looks a cracker.
Good to see you back posting boss,

I would love it if it could be an auto and with wind down crown too for practicality reasons but understand that this is not true to the originals and I have I expect there are design and production constraints.
