Yes, it is clear we both have very different style, which is good because there's no point to make two watches that look nearly the same.
I like Lucky's remark in this, which is a bit of a pity that it was actually mentioned, but that is exactly what I wanted to call my nixie watch "Cold War". This had nothing to do with you and I working on a watch as I came up with that name before we met online, but it really suits my military style case. The nixie is strongly related to both USA and USSR, the latter because USSR manufactured them for much longer. So basically, it is the perfect name. I was going to design something for you that you could sell (or free- bee) along with your ladies watches, but it looks like not everybody agrees to call it a ladies watch (it was your own statement in a previous thread). I may still design it, just for fun as it is quite interesting and suits very well with the ladies watch. I am sure that lady-geeks will like it although I have to say that I personally never met one....
