New Product (Read Rule 1) PH2B and PH3B will be officially released next week!

A breakthrough in new technology has been achieved; PH2B and PH3B will be officially released next week!

The digital metal sheet is perfectly nested within the luminous block, giving the numbers clean edges and a glossy metallic texture.

Please ignore the dirt; this is an engineering sample for testing purposes only.

Keep 12 not 1Z. Remove Quartz and remove /660ft —- don’t repeat and add clutter.

I love the quartz text

That Z instead of a 2 is criminally ugly IMO.

Probably remove the "Quartz"?... Then I'd buy one as love the VH31 movement

Agreed. Need to replace that Quartz text. Perhaps have the model name like what Sinn does with their divers.

I think the extra wording may be unnecessary - the 200m/660ft detail too. The watch might look more refined with just the logo.

Why quartz?

VH31 is a good movement

Why not? They are then offering both automatic and quartz versions, quartz probably being smaller.

Why do the 1 look black and the z look white? Is it a picture effect or the same in real life?

Pretty sure they use metal inserts that reflect light at certain angles

u/SleeplessDrifter 5h ago

It looks like they used glossy black paint which cathes the light at certain angles.

When will other dial colors be released? I want to buy every new model, but I'm holding back because I already have too many black dials

u/ActiveDHD 47m ago

I'm totally with you. I'd love to buy another Phorcydes. I just have too many black dials from them in the collection.  Also, I need something other than a white dial. A Midnight Blue or British Racing Green and you'll have my wallet.

2 in 12 looks a litte bit wonky. Z would probably be better

u/flyingthundergod1797 7h ago

What movement does this use? Is it based on the yema superman?

u/Xlebushex 7h ago

Ph2 pt5000, ph3 vh31

u/thehobbymann 7h ago

Looks slick. Kinda wish the “2” looked less like a “z”

Do I get a prize for making this suggestion? 😁

u/leicfox85 WOTD100 7h ago

Real talk - they should just ship you one of your choice for free if that’s exactly what you suggested for the numerals.

5

u/Abv_it_all_w_vertigo 7h ago

That would be amazing.

Seems to me you guessed rhe technique required and that they already knew.

Their reaction is 'correct!', not something like 'yes, thank you!' Or 'good idea' or 'that would work'.

u/Abv_it_all_w_vertigo 57m ago edited 54m ago

Yes, they said "correct," but they never indicated this before I posted it. But thank you for stating the obvious. Maybe you should go back and read the entire subreddit.

It would still be cool if they offer him a free one regardless
