Would it throw things off to do the Dick Tracy watch case in silver?

your wallet =)

I wouldn't do it now but later we can order it in silver, to test. i'm not sure of the properties yet, and we're still in the design stage of the watch case. I still need to test the crystal fit, and get the backing worked out, and theres just so much more to do.

Silver costs $48 per cubic centimeter, and the dick watch case is nearly 3 cc

Damn. I thought this was going to be a thread about a movie horse.
