It would also take years to make the analogue. For the cost, they could use less expensive material.

Like : ss/aluminum band & case, not gold-coated titanium. regular plastic/glass crystal, not scratch-resistant sapphire, which can cost about a 100. The cylinders and hub could be made in plastic, not metal.

But then the challenge would be to make it look nice and not a cheap-looking copy of a expensive watch.

There might be only two challenges in the MKII : The rotation speed of the hub, mainly due to it’s weight, & the always changing position of the digits. ( might be, because I don’t know if it’s makeable )

The analogue would be the more complicated to make and would probably be too expensive, hence the MKII version. Im glad you like both versions, fingers crossed one of them is possible!
Cheers for the support!

I like the overall look of both model. I prefer the analogue version, even if there would always be some numbers that would be upside down. But it would probably cost a lot to make & a lot to buy. The hybrid version would fit more with tokyoflash style. ( the other remind me of Urwerk style, for the hour at least ) I would buy any of them.
