again...we are not redesigning the watch or bezel but only the dial....if you look at my pic of my Aqualuna in the 1st page of this thread the markers are located in the same place and works just fine imho!.....to remake a bezel is a expensive undertaking so Please let's stay on track with the dial design only and not cause any confusion as to the original purpose of this thread.thankyou.gif 

imho the original dial rocks and if the hands were lume filled instead of half skels and the minute markers on the chapter ring more defined it would be percfect! yahoo.gif



Absolutely, yes, Rhino Ranch. Using big dots instead of numbers for the dial will be a good option to consider. Dots would be the best, cheapest and most efficient platform for lume. Dots might be more iconic and will make the dial less busy with all those numbers. In short, numbers on the bezel as presented by Anders but dots on the dial.....this might work.

As  before, for the hands it's all about lume, lume, lume.
