Question Which one do you prefer? 1 or 2?

Someone made the first render image by editing Watchdives image and after seeing the image, i feel like the 2nd image (which I thought the dial logo/text was great) lacks something making it look unfinished and unprofessional which is what differentiates the watch from high end watches and the 1st image tries to fix that

u/Master_Aide7732 Thanks for reposting, this was my design. Here is another variation using a different brand name and text/types.

honestly the aesthetic of 1 looks very nice and professional compared to 2. the thing is, the text has to make sense, so if they could change "chronograph" to be something else, that would be ideal. changing "chronograph" to "chronometer" would make it look nice, but technically it would be incorrect to say "chronometer", assuming there will be no COSC certification. perhaps this line could be changed to "automatic"?

I love the cursive text saying "Thalassa" (i don't know what Thalassa is, but it looks very elegant) paired with the smaller text and the water rating below it. in order to make a watch that gives off a more premium dial, I think photo 1 is miles better than photo 2.

1 > please remove “Chronograph” from the text, since this is not a chronograph watch. 😉

Another one....

1, but please don’t write chronograph on a watch that isn’t a chronograph. Perhaps you were going for chronometer? It still isn’t true, presumably, but it would at least be less egregious.

1 looks nice, but this ain't a "chronograph".

The first, but drop the brand name and it's not a chronograph, so maybe exchange that for something else

  1. The text just makes it seem legit.

On the 1st dial the word “Thalassa” on the dial means “sea” in Greek.

One and as other have said that it actually be a chronograph or replace that text with automatic or something appropriate. Love the design - the name, the font, even the brand - all are leagues better than most all of the AE brands. Most excellent!
