I think this the perfect choice for the first dial. but I will offer 2 dials and the second must not have so many teeth, and I think a lume ring is a nice option. But also a full lume dial is possible, I will collect some drawings and we will start a poll in a few days. Steve Laughlin wrote: I see where you are going Michael, but on dial #1 the idea is to have the teeth on the chapter ring, so there is overlapping and a raising effect of the teeth. I am still hoping this will be possible from the dial makers and Ralf, because it would add depth to the dial and not have the teeth flat and painted on the dial but raised on a piece of plastic over a steel dial.

 visually, I like the black chapter ring, with grey minute marks... it pushes back and lets the teeth come forward... it looks cleaner over all, but here is a lume ring with black minute marks. -steve Last edited on Tue Mar 31st, 2009 04:32 pm by Steve Laughlin |

I think it looks great just like this. dial #1 ser no. 5 for me. The one Ralf is showing is a posible 2nd dial right? Last edited on Tue Mar 31st, 2009 04:35 pm by slinky469 |

I think the first dial is fine like it is but a lume ring dial addition would be nice Steve Laughlin wrote: I can try a lume ring, I think it would eliminate the minute marks, unless those can appear as black. I just think it is going to add a light color to where the black is, and the teeth will not be visually pushed forward as much. I will try the idea and post it.

less teeth, lume ring, lume dial... combination of lume dial and raised C3 hour marks? I think that would look cool at night, different intensities of lume.

We need to remember that the Megalodon has a 36mm dial. The Devil is 32mm. We have plenty of room to work with. The dial and chapter ring in this photo is 29mm..

Steve this is very, very good... the only thing I might suggest is thicken the jet black outline around the teeth... should make them really pop off the flat gray background. And don't forget SS bezel option ! Or the SS / Black bezel like Muhle Glashutte Rasmus... sort of a compromise between all black and all SS bezel. Jim Steve Laughlin wrote:

I like that Seiko dial, it is a good example of what I was thinking for raised teeth, and I think a lume ring on that seiko wouldn't look as nice, for the same reason I am not big on the idea for this dark dial. Ralf, could it be an option on dial 1, (lume chapter ring or not) sounds like it could get confusing. to accommodate this lume ring you speak of, I think the teeth all need to move more towards the center to make room behind them, but again, for me it is a matter of lights and darks, and the lume bezels seems distracting to me on this dial, I was going to make a lume chapter ring for dial #2, but if we are not done with #1 yet, then I will need to bring the teeth in, or make them larger, but need to make more room behind them, it isn't a matter of overall dial size, it is how much room there is behind the teeth. I am not going to show all the bezels each time at this point, Ralf said 3 will be available, I am sure there will be options to choose from. I think it is better to focus on the dial elements at this point. I am fast with the designs, but it does take time away from my regular work, so little changes I will not make and I can't show every idea. but next I will move the teeth in a bit and thicken the plastic around them to make room for a lume chapter ring, or just black chapter ring with minute marks.

The raised teeth are alredy a chapter ring and I cannot do another one. Dial one without lume ring like is now, and the dial 2 design is open for ideas . I would suggest someting with a lume ring or a full lume but I am open for every good idea.
