Much appreciated friend. I chose the double hours so it can act as a pseudo-gmt. Otherwise I'll go with the SKX 10 minute intervals bezel insert.

The swiss won't give me what I want. Simple as. Everybody's is trying to be Rolex and blowing up their watch size to 40mm while keeping the old designs and fucking up the proportions. See the old Zodiac Seawolf, perfect at 35 then reissued at a bloated 40mm. Also microbrands are pussies
>we tried to go with le smaller watch size to emulate le vintage past :^O
>check case size
>39mm :^)
Nobody has the balls to make a 36mm skin diver

Thanks man, I don't know if I'll go to kickstarte cause that's a whole another can of worms and I don't want to burn other people's cash since I have zero experience with businesses or watches. I just like watches and I want to design my own since I can't be satisfied with anything on the market. There just seems to be a hole in the market for small divers.

Zodiac Seawolf, $100 (including excise tax) in 1965... $825 in today's money.
