Good luck on your endeavor Rocky. Are there any plans for additional new designs in the works?

Here are a few wrist shots with the custom straps - we will have more wrist shots on the bracelet by next week.

Cool design, but you gotta lose that bracelet. It's been done to death. I'm not a fan of mesh, but I think I'd choose mesh over that 5 brick bracelet. Anyhow, good luck. It's nice to see something different from a boutique watch company.

I agree David. It looks so much better on the leather straps than on the afterthought of a bracelet. I would love to see one on an Isofrane.

Welcome, and nice design on the watch. I'd be interested, but it is more than my puny wrist can handle.

Yeah dump that 5 link it is to over played by the micro companies.

Also since LumTec is building this watch then it will be bad ass as hell!!! Heck you guys can almost claimed US made like Resco and Kobold because of this.

Good luck with the product and it is really cool you guys are thinking out of the box on the design. :thumbsup:

Isofrane photos coming soon. I'll be sure to post a link when they are up. Thanks for the candidness regarding the bracelet - this is a subject we have been discussing quite a bit.

Looking forward to them.
Unlike other forums we will not blow smoke up your ass and tell you everything looks great when there is room for improvement. I am glad to see you are sticking around. Some other small manufacturers didn't like any criticism and decided to leave. The ones that are regulars here like SAS and aegir are good company to be in.

BAM! Nail. Head. 'nuff said. Rocky, glad to see you're sticking around, too. Initially, i will admit, I almost glossed over this as "just another micro." But clearly there is something more to this watch and the brand and I am liking that case. :thumbsup:

Awesome. I do believe you guys "get it." ;) Trust me, if DWC is anything, it's honest. Sometimes, a little too honest. :lol:

Hey Rocky, what is the size of your wrist? I just would like to have an idea what it would look like on mine.

Hi Gerald - That's not my wrist in the photos but I believe the model was very close to mine in size and I'm 7.25".

Something different at last,but not too overly modern. I like the shape of it,i like the dial and hands,i like the crown on the left,maybe its a little high on the case but thats what makes it look different.
Only thing i dont like a great deal is the large bezel grips. The price makes it worth a try,over priced would have killed it dead in the water i think.
I hope this project goes well for you,and i think it will. :thumbsup:

I like it. The crown position works for me in a tool watch. Seiko workhorse movement and LumTec at a great price point.
I wonder why a micro would not just offer the Isofrane as standard on a tool watch and get economies by dumping the bracelet option.
Just picked up a UTS and an Omega but this might be my next purchase.

The first Artisan Strap Giveaway is in two days. The first offering is the black strap with contrast stitching by Rob "The Strapsmith" Montana (last one on the right in attached photo) - super nice! "Like" Hexa on Facebook if you'd like a chance to win. http://www.facebook.com/hexawatches

Thanks Nick! Good suggestion also. We are discussing the bracelet - if we make any new options I'll be sure to announce to this thread.
