Its an easy fix, the case would just wrap further around the diameter and the glass would not wrap around quite as far, the numbers would then be at the very top of the diameter of the dolly wheels when they are telling the time. Im glad you likey! Thanks for the feedback and the support Jonathan! :D Yeah a few people have mentioned the position of the the time telling numbers.

Very unique, and I'm sure it would be absolutely eye catching. The black/red one in particular looks sinister! It looks like a watch Darth Vader would wear! But I too am worried with readability. As of the current design shown here, it would be very awkward to read the time considering the fact that the time all seem to point outward on the very most "tip". Maybe if they all faced upward so as to read it like a conventional watch albeit with belts. All in all, I love the design bar the readability issue. And I would buy this if that issue were resolved. But even if it weren't, I'd still probably buy it due to it's uniqueness. First of all, absolutely wonderful design! Very unique, and I’m sure it would be absolutely eye catching.

Beside, the cost of living alone is 18K per year. @ pete : I guess I could buy a car but I don’t, and can’t, drive. Beside, the cost of living alone is 18K per year.

I dont know if this makes the design un-feasible or un-desirable for TF. Fingers crossed such movements are available and not too expensive! x^^x Yeah from the feedback so far and the info from TF its sounds like a non-standard movement would be required.

But, I'm not sure about the readability. The minute parts could be rotated a bit to be vertical ( like the hour ). I doubt that it could be made with a standard analog movement. It might be possible to make with a mechanical movement. I like the overall look, and love that the adjustment buttons are under. But, I’m not sure about the readability.

I think the display method would be easily manufactured and is simpler than it looks. By the sounds of it finding or affording a movement robust enough is the issue. It may be a pipe-dream buts its a nice one! cheers :D Thanks for the comment BTrayal and im glag you like the creativity.
