Futomaki is the perfect name for this collection of parts watch. The dial looks good. I suspect you made all the markers round to resemble Sushi Rolls but did you try different markers for the cardinal positions of 3, 6, 9 and 12?
Anyway, good work guys!
We actually did Pete. The round markers were chosen instead to keep the overall appearance clean and simple. After trying out a couple marker variations concluded it looked too busy. I’m open to any and all suggestions...after all it’s a “group project”. I trust that if it didn't look good then that's what it is.
I'd be happy with this dial

Big thumbs up from me, I think it looks great! I’d be more than happy to grab one. Is the plan to produce a batch and offer them to the membership?

Just wonder if the ‘500m’ might be better in red?

Just wonder if the ‘500m’ might be better in red? Or the color of Raw Ahi

Just wonder if the ‘500m’ might be better in red? Or the color of Raw Ahi Close enough to red for me! The only time I’ve ever eaten proper sushi and sushimi was on a business trip to Tokyo a few years ago and I absolutely loved the ahi tuna. Sadly, I wasn’t really into collecting watches back then. Probably just as well...

OK, way better after adding the hands! I was was fretting over there graphics being too... Well graphic, lol. Reminded me of Vostok Amphibias a little. Not that I hate those but... Yeah better with the hands. Loving the kangi "automatic" and the sub text at 6:00! Can you copy/paste a bezel around it? The shroud? Looking good Todd 👍😎

Just wonder if the ‘500m’ might be better in red? +1 and why 500? Sorta BS isn't it?

Just wonder if the ‘500m’ might be better in red? Nice. I like it. Just wonder if the ‘500m’ might be better in red? +1 and why 500? Sorta BS isn't it? I originally added Water 150m Resist as it would appear on a 6309 diver dial. David suggested 500m and come to think of it I never asked why? Maybe DAHASCO will chime in to explain his reasoning. Nothing is carved in stone. I’m just the designer. Not married to anything. WE CAN DO whatever we ALL want. I appreciate the feedback and would like us all to love this. Things can be added, subtracted, cranked up or down.

And just to keep everyone in the know, It did not arrive Friday as expected. USPS tracking says attempted delivery on Saturday so I expect to receive this about lunch time (UTC-8) tomorrow at the shop.

But we've still got the same holes/seals as a 6309 rated at 150m. That said I don't think we should plagiarise Seikos text here... Change the "m" to "ft" and the math works! (150m = 492ft) "500ft" Or sticking with the kanji theme, what do we think about: "500 尺" (489 shaku)

This is great stuff. I like the idea of the kanji depth, adds flavour. Another vote for red text too. I’ve never had proper sushi so can’t really comment on the colours, I really need to put that right next year. Is the position of the lollipop on the S/H accurate by the way? Love that it matches the hour markers.

My vote leans towards one of two solutions below. 500ft オートマチック Or 500 尺 Automatic I think having Kanji’s on both lines competes with one another. 500 尺 オートマチック

I’ll make another round of revisions based on comments and suggestions. I’ll also add a bezel. See what we think and go from there.
Skies the limit my friends.

The Canada Post strike probably hasn't helped any either
